Cleanser
A cleanser is just as important for men as it is for women. Because even without the use of make-up, the skin is continuously exposed to external matter, such as dirt, dust particles and exhaust fumes. A good facial cleanser should therefore not be missing in your daily care routine. You can read here what a facial cleanser does, how to use it and how to choose the right product for your skin type and ambition.
What is a men's cleanser?
The skin glands of your face contain countless tiny openings, known as pores. Among other things, they ensure that sebum (skin sebum) is moved to the outside, so that the skin does not dry out and remains protected against bacterial infections. Like all orifices, your pores can get clogged. Both from the outside through dirt and dust and from the inside through an accumulation of sebum. A cleanser for men is an excellent product to keep your pores open. The cleaner crawls into the openings and removes everything that doesn't belong there, without affecting your skin.
You may wonder why the face needs to be cleaned better than the rest of the body where there are also pores. Firstly, the pores on the facial skin are more sensitive, making acne (pimples) more likely. Second, your face is your signboard. With a healthy glowing facial skin you exude more authority in your twenties and you are guaranteed to score higher.
How do you use a cleanser for men?
Most men's cleansers produce a light lather so that it stays on your skin during cleansing. With your fingertips, rub the foam over your face in circular motions to allow it to penetrate well into the pores. Pay extra attention to your forehead, nose and chin, because this is where most of the grease and dirt stays. Don't forget the somewhat thinner skin under your jaw and around your Adam's apple. Clogged pores can easily cause irritation and acne. After rubbing in, simply rinse the face wash with cool water.
An electric facial brush is a handy device to get the face wash deep into all pores, but it is not necessarily necessary. With a good product and skilled hands you can achieve almost the same result. For daily facial cleansing you only have to stand in front of the sink for 2 to 3 minutes.
What types of cleanser for men are there?
When choosing a facial cleanser, you should check whether the product is suitable for your skin type. There are cleansers for normal skin, dry skin, oily skin and sensitive skin. If you are unsure about the condition of your skin, buy a facial cleanser that is suitable for all skin types.
Many cleansers do more than just clean. For example, there are facial cleansing products that contain ingredients to hydrate the skin, remove dead skin cells, regulate your sebum production, soften beard hairs and correct impurities. There are even cleansers for men on the market that prevent aging of the skin. With all products in our shop you will find a clear description of the ingredients and characteristics.
