The problems related to skin care that men face are quite similar in nature to that of women’s skin care problems. Men also fight wrinkles in their skin, deal with acne and pimples and other skin related issues. Different men have different skin conditions such as oily skin, dry skin, etc and if you are the kind of man that enjoys spending time in the sun or on the sun bed, you can also be vulnerable to skin cancer. Skin problems that men have are looked at differently through the eyes of the media. It is not often where you will find adverts promoting male skin care. For this reason, many men may find it difficult to find the right type of treatment for any skin problem they may have because the information is not widely available.

Here are some tips and advice from Mamu for multi-purpose skin care regime that is custom made for men:

First, be sure to use a mild facial cleanser to cleanse your face twice every day. Avoid using a bar soap as this will cause your skin to become dry and lead to a series of other problems. Use a mild form of shaving gel or cream while shaving and remember to exfoliate all those areas of the face that you do not shave. If you are not into the habit of shaving regularly, then the application of an exfoliating agent becomes necessary around 2 or 3 times per week.

It is not normal to suffer from a razor burn, ingrown hair or any other form of skin irritation after shaving, if this is something that you experience, you should look into replacing your shaver. Some aftershave products may sting your face once applied. If this happens to you, you ought to change the product you are using. Shaving products that contain peppermint, menthol, alcohol or camphor might sound nice on the outer label but the actual product might actually cause irritation to the skin. So make it a priority to avoid using these types of shaving products altogether.

The best types of skin products are those that contain aloevera, silicone or allantoin as one of their prime ingredients. These substances will moisturize, soothe and calm your skin post the abrasion caused from shaving regularly. In general, almost all products that are alcohol free do not cause irritation.

Don’t be afraid to try new shaving products if the one you currently use causes skin irritation. It may take trying out more than one product before you find the perfect skin care range for your skin so try to be patient. If you are unsure about which product is best for you, you can talk to a skin specialist for advice.
