More than standard in men's care
Many men don’t pay much attention to cosmetics beyond their daily care routine. Special occasions like Father’s Day, birthdays, or Christmas are perfect opportunities to try something new. Why not finally start expanding your standard routine a bit?
We present three useful additions to your basic care and inspire you to try something new as well.
In the world of men, there are different types: Those who have been using the same products forever and hardly bring anything new into the bathroom. And those who are well-versed in care trends and try out a lot of new things. We would guess: Most of you fall somewhere in between.
Hand on heart
How often do you think about cosmetics? Many men only start to consider it when they receive something as a gift for a holiday. Often, it’s a set of shower gel and deodorant – popular for Father’s Day, Christmas, or birthdays.
The problem is: too often, these products end up unseen in the back corner of the bathroom cabinet. From experience, more men are taking care of their essential grooming today than before – but it usually stays basic. All the more reason for us to start here and show you what else is possible.
The others are standard: 3 extensions for your program
The daily routine usually follows the same pattern. We don’t mean that you don’t take enough time for your care in the morning, but that the day in the bathroom mostly starts with a trio: first cleansing the skin, then shaving wet or dry, and finally (hopefully) applying a moisturizing cream. Not bad at all – especially if you use high-quality products. But is that really enough? Or are there options you haven’t even considered yet?
There’s definitely reason to look beyond the usual. Because men’s skin is more demanding than many think. Generally, it is thicker than women’s skin, ages later but then ages faster, and is exposed to special stress in the case of daily shaving. It is essential that men’s skin is cared for with products specially tailored to it and supplied with plenty of moisture.
We’d say, let’s start slowly. Here are three additions to the basic program:
Toner
A cleansing gel already does a great job when it comes to drawing out the day’s impurities from your skin. It is supported by the facial toner, which gently clarifies your skin after cleansing and prepares it for the following skincare products. So: Get the dirt off!
Masks for your skin
Face masks help to clarify your skin, provide intense moisture, or improve your complexion. Why not spend 15 minutes on a face mask on a relaxing Sunday after your shower and enjoy the effects all day long? Your skin will thank you. Just make it a ritual to wind down the weekend. It also helps you mentally prepare for Monday. More calmness for the upcoming workweek? We could all use that.
Strong hands
A good hand cream is a real gamechanger. Your hands do hard work for you every single day without you even noticing. No part of your skin is stressed as much and yet so often neglected. Reward your hands with valuable care from time to time. And it’s best to also make sure your fingernails are always nice and clean and definitely not too long.
We should try more things. And give feedback ...
If cosmetics are being given as gifts again for Father's Day that you might not know yet, then be open to it.
We believe: You should definitely try new things and give honest but thoughtful, friendly feedback. This way, you avoid receiving products every year that you don't tolerate or like.
Until then: Just try something new!
