Cleanser
A cleanser is just as important for men as it is for women. Because even without the use of make-up, the skin is continuously exposed to external matter, such as dirt, dust particles, and exhaust gases. A good facial cleanser should therefore not be missing from your daily care routine. What a facial cleanser does, how to use it, and how to choose the right product for your skin type and ambition, you can read here.
What is a cleanser for men?
In the skin glands of your face, there are countless tiny openings, better known as pores. They ensure, among other things, that sebum (skin oil) is moved outwards, so the skin does not dry out and remains protected against bacterial infections. Like all openings, your pores can also become clogged. Both from the outside by dirt and dust and from the inside by a buildup of sebum. A cleanser for men is an excellent product to keep your pores neatly open. The cleanser penetrates the openings and removes everything that doesn't belong there, without affecting your skin.
You might wonder why the face needs to be cleaned better than the rest of the body where there are also pores. Firstly, the pores on the facial skin are more sensitive, increasing the chance of acne (pimples). Secondly, your face is your calling card. With a healthy, radiant facial skin, you exude more authority in your twenties and are guaranteed to score higher.
How do you use a cleanser for men?
Most cleansers for men produce a light foam, so it stays neatly on your skin during the cleansing. With your fingertips, you rub the foam in circular motions over your face to allow it to penetrate the pores well. Pay extra attention to your forehead, nose, and chin, as this is where most oil and dirt remain. Don't forget the thinner skin under your jaw and around your Adam's apple. Clogged pores can easily cause irritation and acne. After rubbing it in, simply rinse off the face wash with cool water.
An electric facial brush is a handy device to get the face wash deep into all the pores, but it is not necessarily needed. With a good product and skilled hands, you achieve almost the same result. For the daily face cleansing, you only need to stand at the sink for 2 to 3 minutes.
What types of cleanser for men are there?
When choosing a facial cleanser, you need to check whether the product is suitable for your skin type. There are cleansers for normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, and sensitive skin. If you are unsure about the condition of your skin, buy a facial cleanser that is usable for all skin types.
Many cleansers do more than just clean. For example, there are face cleansing products that contain ingredients to hydrate the skin, remove dead skin cells, regulate your sebum production, soften beard hairs, and correct impurities. There are even cleansers for men on the market that counteract skin aging. With all the products in our shop, you will find a clear description of the ingredients and features.
