The Simple Skincare Routine for Men: 3 Steps, 2 Minutes
5 min read
Why three steps is enough
Most men don't need ten products. Cleanse, treat and protect covers the basics: clean skin, one hard-working active, and moisture plus sun protection.
Morning
1. Cleanse for 30 seconds to clear overnight oil. 2. Apply 3–4 drops of a treatment serum. 3. Finish with a moisturizer that has SPF 30 or higher.
Night
1. Cleanse to remove sunscreen, sweat and grime. 2. Serum again. 3. Swap your SPF moisturizer for a richer night cream if your skin runs dry.
After shaving
Shave after cleansing, rinse with cool water, then go straight to serum and moisturizer. Skip anything with alcohol or heavy fragrance on freshly shaved skin.
How long until you see a difference
Skin feels better within days. Visible changes in texture and tone usually take four to eight weeks of consistent use.
