Let’s face it, almost always have women been more concerned with how they look than men. There have been eras where appearances were very important for both men and women (think of France during the Sun Kings reign), but throughout the times men have been taught that it’s OK to look rough, and that wrinkles and fine lines on the face give men charisma, and that caring about one’s appearance something only women should have any interest in.

I say we are now the time has arrived where this schema of thought is finally changing for good. In the recent years, more and more men have started to take an interest in their appearance and starting to realize that wrinkles really do not make anyone, male or female, look better. That’s why men today are interested in taking care of their skin, and if you ask me (as a woman looking at men on the streets) I am very happy to see that!

So if you are planning on starting to use a skin cream for men or some other male skin care products, good for you. But there are a few things you need to consider first.

1. Make sure that you are actually using a product made for men, as usually men’s skin is different from women’s skin. That means the skin creams your girlfriend uses might not be suitable for your skin at all.

2. Also consider that usually men have different needs for skin care products than women. Example: most men shave daily, which means that their skin is getting a frequent peeling and thus left even more susceptible to weather, pollution and other external factors that can harm the skin.

3. Just like in women’s skin care there are good and bad products on the market. Do some research and find a natural, tried-and-tested skin care product series for men that is filled with good, moisturizing ingredients. Don’t fall for glossy marketing but educate yourself!

There is no doubt that proper skin care for men is just as necessary as good skin care is for women. Using a good moisturizer for men daily can help make sure that your skin stays good looking and smooth. If you are in your 30s or over, look for anti-aging properties in the skin cream. That way wrinkles, fine lines, and other annoying skin problems can be reduced or completely removed.

Building a strict daily regimen with dozens of skin care products usually isn’t necessary, washing your face with soap or a facial cleaner and applying a moisturizer once or twice daily is usually enough.
