SKIN CARE: Why men need to worry about their skins too

Men need to understand gone are the days where we used to hear “I can’t visit a spa that’s too girlish’’ or ‘’a man needs to keep a rough skin”. We have already moved past that and if you don’t believe, me by the time you are 35 you will have dull, unhealthy skin in the name of ‘mwanaume ni kuparara’.Who wants a man with chapped lips, looking like an alligator and at the same time smelling like fish?

Who wants a man with chapped lips, looking like an alligator and at the same time smelling like fish? Men, it's high time you up your skincare game. By that, I’m not suggesting you fill your dressing table with cleansers and creams you probably won’t use, I mean commit taking care of your skin.

MOISTURISE YOUR SKIN

I think all men need a maximum hydrating lotion. Men’s skin is always dry. Don’t come out of the shower, dress up and leave.

HERE ARE STEPS ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THAT HANDSOME FACE

Cleanser, Toner, exfoliator, serum, moisturiser and a sunscreen. Trust me you want to put these products in your travelling bag when on the road.

The cleanser and toner and exfoliator are usually in two’s or three’s in one. It simply means, in that cleanser there is a toner and exfoliator so no need to use them separately and yes, I would recommend this range because it saves time when grooming.

STOP BUYING CHEAP RAZORS

Most men shave their beards five times a week. Well, a quality razor can be a lifetime item so choose your weapon wisely. Choose a razor which fits your sensitivity and beard coarseness. Your face will thank you later. An after shave is a must - have it hydrated and soothes the skin. Your after shave should be alcohol-free because alcohol will dry your skin.
