10 personal care products that a man should have
Recently we argued that self-care is needed not only for girls. Most men, if they realize this, do not know what kind of funds they need. We decided to ease the choice of flour and painted, what kind of caring cosmetics will be useful for every man.
Cleanser
One of the two pillars of the most ascetic care program (the second is a moisturizer). Men's skin produces more sebum than women's skin, which means that high-quality cleansing is especially important to it. For him, brands usually try to make straightforward products: soaps, foams and gels with invigorating smells, many of which can be used both for washing and for washing the body. In the "cans" with mint and menthol perfume, besides the main function, there is one more pleasant elective: they help to wake up.
What to buy: Washbasin for Billy Jealousy, prone to greasy and oily skin, cleansing gels Clarins and Cetaphil
Moisturizing face cream
Again, the simplest remedy will do, even though a children's cream (but show us a man who does not wrinkle in front of a tube of "Tik-taka"). To kill two birds with one stone, you can choose a multifunctional remedy: a day cream with an SPF filter (such as Baxter of California) or one that can be used to moisturize the whole body. By the way, the packaging of men's products are usually made as convenient as possible - probably, so that it would be difficult to find an excuse for ignoring them.
What to buy: SPF Baxter of California moisturizing lotion, Neutrogena and Clinique creams
Hand cream
Usually men remember the existence of hand cream only when the skin begins to resemble sandpaper. Often these creams are very nutritious or, on the contrary, quickly absorbed. In principle, for the hands, you can use moisturizers for the body, but it is unlikely that anyone will get second and refuse to buy the first one. A separate level is to buy cuticle oil, which is also usually bad.
What to buy: Ahava, The Body Shop, Jack Black creams
Cleansing Mask and Scrub
The necessary thing for oily or prone to oily skin - that is, for almost any man. Most often in the composition of such masks there is clay; with regular use, they reduce the shine and lighten the black dots (some masks do not get rid of them). Facial scrub exfoliates dead skin cells (also cleansing). It can not buy more, if you choose a day cream with acids, which will gradually and without unnecessary movements to exfoliate the skin.
What to buy: Freeman clay masks, Anthony Logistics For Men, Biotherm scrub
Lip balm
Lip care - to obscenely simple thing, which many nevertheless neglect. Men's balms are made with specific fragrances (no roses), colorless, or even try to remove shine from them. Nevertheless, balsams can be found not only in specialized brands, but also in universal ones: Lucas' Papaw, Blistex and Toitbel are just as good.
What to buy: Balsams Lucas' Papaw, Toitbel, Dermalogica
Before Shave and After Shave Products
Perhaps the most explored category among the audience (not least because these are exclusively male "banks"). A good shaving product softens the skin and stubble, allows the shaver to do its job well. Aftershave is usually presented as a lotion, it reduces the irritation from the blade and softens the skin.
What to buy: after shave balms Weleda, Avene, universal Nuxe
Body cream
We foresee our failure regarding this item, but we will try. The skin dries both from water and from an aggressive agent for the body, so there are two options: either use a moisturizing thing anyway (CO Bigelow has literally chilling mint lotions), or choose a very mild shower agent (buy yourself oil L ' Occitane Cleansing And Softening Shower Oil and put on a very prominent place).
What to buy: Jack Black Lotion, Clinique, Kiehl's Cream
Normal deodorant or antiperspirant
The biggest complaint to most mass-market deodorants and antiperspirants is their deliberately “manly” smell, or rather, how they represent it. Meanwhile, the tool does not require anything supernatural: simple fragrance and successful struggle with the natural smell and sweat. For such it is better to turn to pharmacy brands or universal like Malin + Goetz.
What to buy: Malin + Goetz deodorant, The Body Shop antiperspirants, Tom's
Hair styling
Another area that most men are already familiar with. Means for creating men's hairstyles have many brands involved in grooming. A single “bank” can greatly change the appearance, and in order not to lose the fuse in finding the right one, we advise you to ask the master during the haircut about what he would recommend to maintain the hairstyle - wax, gel or lipstick.
What to buy: Oribe wax, Bumble and Bumble gel, matte lipstick for Imperial Barber hair
Specific cosmetics
Above - a unified sample, but each skin and the body has its own needs, for which general recommendations are indispensable. Owners of a beard will need oils and balsams to care for it, whiskers - waxes and accessories to keep the shape (everything is, for example, Beard Brand). Episodically, an antimicrobial serum can be useful for treating wounds, like in Jack Black. Funds that stimulate hair growth, moisturizing masks and anti-acne products, like Kyoku, can also be attributed to this point - we remind them that minimal self-care is an achievement, but there is still a whole world behind it.
