When it comes to skincare for men, simplicity is key. You don’t need a complicated or pricey routine to maintain that youthful glow—just a few intentional and consistent steps. Whether you’re looking to streamline an existing routine or building one from scratch, it all comes down to four basic steps (with a couple of optional extras if you have the time).
Whether you’re 15 or 45, the foundation of good skincare remains the same. While we could dive into the world of retinol and serums, the key to good skin is keeping your routine straightforward: cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise, protect and you’re good to go.
4 Essential Skincare Steps You Should Follow
Cleanse
Start by cleansing your face twice daily in the day and at night to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Choose a cleanser that matches your skin type—go for a gel-based or foaming cleanser if you have oily or acne-prone skin, while those with dry or sensitive skin might prefer a hydrating, cream-based formula.

Exfoliate
Exfoliating is key to sloughing off dead skin cells and keeping your skin smooth. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, look for a chemical exfoliant with salicylic acid. For dry or sensitive skin, opt for a gentle exfoliant that won’t strip away moisture. Ideally one should use an exfoliant at night as the skin repairs itself while we sleep and you don't need to worry about sun sensitivity.

Moisturise
Hydrating your skin is crucial, regardless of your skin type. Oily skin benefits from lightweight, oil-free moisturizers, while those with dry skin should choose a richer, more nourishing formula. If you have sensitive skin, seek out a moisturizer with soothing ingredients like ceramides or Centella.

Protect
Never skip sun protection! Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. For oily skin, a mattifying sunscreen works best, while those with dry skin might prefer a more hydrating option.
