The men’s grooming game can be a bit of a mine field, with so many different products on offer. But with the help of the guys over at Mankind, we’ve got you covered. We’ve put together an easy-to-follow grooming guide to skincare basics to get you off to flying start.

Men’s Skincare basics

Step 1: Start With A Cleanser

A good face wash and/or cleanser is going to help remove excess dirt and oil from your skin. This is going to help prevent breakouts in the long run, too. It’s an important step following a long day of touching your face and exposure to the sun and other environmental aggravators.

Step 2: Next, Use A Toner

Not going to lie, I very often skip this step, and instead splash cold water. But I know I shouldn’t. Toners help remove any excess residue left over from your face wash or cleanser and help close the pores now they’ve been cleaned. This is super important because if you leave your pores open, they will get clogged faster and cause breakouts.

Step 3: Finish With A Moisturiser

Moisturisers are a no-brainer. We all need to be using them. Apart from the immediate benefits of brighter and better skin, it’s going to save you in the long run. You’ll be thank me when you’re sixty and your mates who’ve never touched moisturiser are doing a solid impression of leather. Moisturisers nourish the skin on a daily basis and you can buy specialist ones to fight the signs of ageing or help with redness.
