Skincare For Men | Products And Tips

Ah, one of our most commonly-asked questions, "Do men need to have a skincare routine too?". The short answer is yes- everyone, regardless of gender, experiences skin problems such as dry skin, breakouts, dark spots, dullness, acne scars, etc. So just like women, men should also take care of their skin (exfoliating, cleansing, and moisturising) to avoid having skin problems.

Why do men need to take care of their skin too?

Men may also experience shaving issues such as razor bumps. Razor bumps happen when dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin and clog up the hair follicles. The hair curls back and grows into the skin. This results in redness of the skin and bumps. Razor bumps typically happen if the person does not exfoliate the skin before shaving to loosen the pores and hair follicles. Moreover, men produce more sebum or oil than women, so they are more prone to having oily skin. Too much oil in the skin is bad as it will clog the pores, which also aggravates existing acne.

Taking care of your skin is simple!

There are many simple ways that men can do at home to keep their skin healthy. First, build a simple yet effective skincare routine that is easy to maintain. The basics are cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturising. It is important to wash your face and body twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime. This prevents the day's dirt and oil from clogging the pores.

After your shower routine, nourish your skin with an ultra-hydrating body oil, like our Yes Daddy Oil, to leave your skin hydrated and plump! Notes of neroli, sandalwood, and musk make the scent perfect for any occasion and leave you smelling sexy and fresh. Formulated for fast absorption, the Yes Daddy Body Oil will leave you moisturised without that annoying sticky feeling. Suitable for the body AND the beard, this oil is a MUST for every man.

So, how do you exfoliate?

Exfoliating tools like the CheekyGlo Body Glove are perfect for getting deep body exfoliation.  All you need to do is have a warm bath or shower for at least five minutes to soften the skin. Then, you can start exfoliating by making long upward and downward strokes with your palm. 

Use your CheekyGlo products once a week in the shower, to loosen all the dead skin and dirt accumulated throughout the week. If you are currently suffering from some skin conditions, CheekyGlo can treat them! Helps target Keratosis Pilaris, congested skin, acne, ingrown hairs, and more! It's easy, painless, and so satisfying to use! The best part? No extra products are needed, just add water!

Do you suffer from backne? Or just love a good scrub but struggle to reach your back? Stop asking your partner to scrub it for you! Our CheekyGlo Exfoliating Back Scrubber is here to save the day! This plant-based exfoliating scrubber features two sturdy handles that allow you to target those hard-to-reach areas on your body! Featuring two fabrics, this scrubber gives you both an amazing exfoliation and a relaxing lather. 

Much like how we exfoliate our skin once in a while to get rid of excess impurities, it's also important to exfoliate your scalp to remove sebum and flake buildup. Have you ever used your nails to scratch your scalp and find flakes and oil stuck under your nails after? This is a sign that your scalp is congested with excess sebum, and that you should exfoliate your scalp at least once a week.

If you are using your nails to scratch your scalp, you need to stop right now! Using our sharp nails to itch and scratch the scalp can be extremely damaging as you are at risk of scraping and cutting the delicate scalp, which would cause inflammation and even infections! Plus, repeated or aggressive scalp-scratching can lead to damaged skin and hair follicles, which can even result in temporary hair loss, bleeding, or scabbing.

Instead of using your nails, opt for our CheekyGlo Revitalising Scalp Scrubber! Made with soft but firm silicone bristles, this ergonomic hand-held shower tool helps target dandruff, itchy scalp and dry/flaky skin by deeply cleansing your scalp and removing build-up and excess oil.

• You can use it alone or in the shower with any shampoo or treatment.
• The soft and firm bristles are designed to give you a relaxing scalp massage that not only feels amazing but also stimulates the scalp to encourage healthy hair growth.
• It is suitable for all hair types, even bleached and chemically-treated hair.
• You can use it on wet or dry hair.

And my beard?

Did you know that our Scalp Scrubber is a versatile tool and can also be used for your beard?! Use it for distributing beard oil, balm, conditioners, shampoo, gels, waxes and pomades during styling.

Still not convinced? Here are some of the many benefits of using the scalp scrubber on beards:

• Promotes healthy, faster, and fuller hair & beard growth.
• Stimulates blood flow to the face & scalp, strengthens hair roots and promotes the growth of healthy well-nourished hair.
• Helps soften and condition the hair, making it more manageable.
• Loosens dead skin, and helps cleansers work better to avoid acne.
• Detangles the beard and relieves any itching. 

Dead skin and skincare products for your beard can accumulate in the long run and cause you breakouts, dry, flaky skin or even dandruff (yes...beard dandruff!) 

The most effective way to prevent dead skin and dirt build-up is regular exfoliation with the use of an exfoliator like the CheekyGlo Silk Mitt.

Using the mitt is very easy! Follow these steps to get glowing skin:

1. Soak your skin in warm water for at least 5 minutes. Do not use any skincare products as the mitt relies on friction to remove dead skin. We want the skin to stay grippy.
2. Wet the mitt and squeeze out excess water.
3. Move out of the water and start scrubbing your face with the mitt. You will be able to see dead skin rolling off your skin.
4. Rinse and follow your skincare routine. 

After your shower routine, nourish your skin with an ultra-hydrating body oil, like our Yes Daddy Oil, to leave your skin hydrated and plump! Notes of neroli, sandalwood, and musk make the scent perfect for any occasion and leave you smelling sexy and fresh. Formulated for fast absorption, the Yes Daddy Body Oil will leave you moisturised without the oily residue. Suitable for the body and the beard, this oil is a MUST for every man.

 

Need to quickly shape up your beard? No worries, you don’t need to go to the barber!

Use beginner-friendly dermaplaning blades like the CheekyGlo Dermablades to safely shave your face! Here’s how to use it:

1. Use once a fortnight on freshly cleansed skin. Ensure the blade is sanitised with rubbing alcohol.
2. Pull the skin taut and glide the blade at a 45-degree angle. Use gentle, short strokes in the same direction of hair growth. Avoid acne or cuts.
3. Apply toner to the skin, and follow with a normal skincare routine. Sanitise the blade.

Unlike most dermablades, ours are made with fine-tooth protective guards for easy and safe use. This prevents the razor from cutting or harming the skin, so you can get a well-cared beard easily! 

 

Take care of your skin with the Everything Set! This set features all the essentials you need to cleanse from head to toe! Perfect for a gift for your man or yourself.
