Let’s face it—skincare doesn’t need to be complicated. But it does need to be consistent.

Men’s skin is physiologically different to women’s—it tends to be thicker, oilier , and more prone to congestion and enlarged pores . Shaving regularly can also lead to irritation, sensitivity, and ingrown hairs . Despite these differences, the foundations of healthy skin are the same: cleanse, hydrate, and protect .

Whether you're dealing with dryness, breakouts, redness after shaving, or just want to feel fresher and more confident, the right skincare routine can make a big difference—and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming.

Here’s a simple, effective skincare routine designed specifically for men that’s low-fuss, high-impact, and easy to stick with.


🧼 Step 1: Cleanse (Morning + Night)

Why it matters:
Cleansing removes oil, sweat, pollution, and product build-up. It’s especially important for active lifestyles, or for men who are prone to congestion and breakouts.

What to use:
A gentle foaming or gel-based cleanser like Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel cuts through oil and grime without stripping the skin. Use it morning and night—or straight after training or outdoor work.


💧 Step 2: Hydrate + Repair (Post-shave or Daily)

Why it matters:
Shaving can compromise the skin barrier, leaving it irritated or dry. Moisturising helps calm and hydrate the skin, while supporting natural repair processes.

What to use:
Try Dermalogica Calm Water Gel for lightweight, cooling hydration—great for sensitive or reactive skin. If you’re on the oilier side, Active Moist delivers hydration without any greasiness.


☀️ Step 3: Protect with SPF (Every Morning)

Why it matters:
UV damage is the leading cause of skin ageing, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer. And yes, even on cloudy or cool days, UV exposure is still happening.

What to use:
Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30 is a mineral-based sunscreen that’s non-greasy, invisible on the skin, and perfect for daily wear. It’s especially great if your skin tends to react to chemical filters.


🧖‍♂️ Optional: Add These if You Want to Level Up

  • Exfoliate (2–3x/week): Using Daily Microfoliant gently buffs away dead skin cells and helps prevent clogged pores, blackheads, and ingrown hairs.

  • Eye cream: If tired or puffy eyes are a concern, Biolumin-C Eye Serum helps brighten and firm the under-eye area.

  • Breakout control: For occasional breakouts, a targeted product from the Clear Start range can help reduce inflammation and clear congestion.


🔁 Consistency = Results

You don’t need 10 steps. You just need the right ones.

A simple routine like this—cleanse, moisturise, protect—takes under 3 minutes. Stick with it, and over time, your skin will look and feel smoother, clearer, and more resilient.
