Men’s Skin Care Tips

Though often left out of broader health conversations, there are plenty of skincare issues that directly impact men. We feel it is important to share tips that can help the men in our lives!
Here are a few ideas to help any man improve his skin routine:
- Invest In Your Skin: When it comes to shaving, purchasing, and using a higher quality razor is worth the investment. Cheaper drugstore razors can increase your chances of razor burn and ingrown hairs, which are not only uncomfortable but unsightly. Also, spending a few extra dollars on some pre-shave shaving gel and some post-shave moisturizer will help prevent potential discomfort of the neck and face.
- Apply Sunscreen: Everyone should be applying sunscreen every day, and men who might think they’re “too tough for goop” are no exception! Plus, it goes without saying that a bald head is very vulnerable to the sun. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the U.S. than all other cancers combined.
- Get Your Skin Checked: Men over 50 have a higher risk of developing melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer, than the general population and early detection is vital. Be sure to schedule a full-body skin exam at one of our locations.
- Take Care Of Your Body: Getting enough sleep and staying hydrated is not only crucial for your general well-being and mental health but are two huge factors in keeping your skin looking and feeling its best all year round.
