Father’s Day: Beauty secrets

Fathers are no longer what they used to be. And thank goodness for that! Now they are more delicate, they look after themselves much more and, above all, they now have their own skincare secrets. Let’s find out more.

The passage of time and the ageing process also takes its toll on men’s skin and their daily skincare routine is essential in order to prevent the effects of these processes. The following beauty secrets are what the fathers of today are following to keep their skin clean, healthy and glowing.

  • Cleansing:
    • It is essential to clean your skin at least once a day. If you have oily skin you should use a specific cleanser. The preferred and most popular textures are gels with neutral and male fragrances.
    • Men should also use a foamy substance that respects and adapts to the male pH, which tends to be more acidic.
    • Depending on your skin type, it is also advisable to use skin cosmetic products with a chemical peeling treatment that exfoliates the skin surface locally, which is important in order to nourish the skin correctly.
  • Hydration:
    • As with any skin type, hydration is extremely important.
    • We should not forget men with drier skin, who will benefit from a more delicate skincare routine. A treatment should be selected that helps maintain skin elasticity.
  • Shaving:
    • As you know, shaving is extremely abrasive on the stratum corneum of the skin. Skincare before and after shaving is essential and, in particular, treatments with a calming and hydrating effect.

As male skin has differentiating characteristics, other factors should be taken into account such as:

  • Hand care:
    • Given how often they are used and how the weather affects hands, skin cracks, dryness or even superficial fissures can occur.
    • It is advisable to use a soft and hydrating emollient to prevent the effects of cold and damp weather.
  • Around the eyes:
    • Wrinkles often appear in the periocular area and around the temples. Bags and dark circles may also appear.
    • Treating this area is particularly important for men.
  • Sweating:
    • Special care should be given to the type of deodorant used, as alcohol-based deodorants can cause skin irritation.
    • We advise using antiperspirant products, since they eliminate excessive sweat and bad odours, while also respecting sensitive skin.
  • Anti-ageing treatment:

Its primary function is to reaffirm the skin. After 40, male skin tends to show greater signs of ageing and it is important to prevent the loss of elasticity.

As Father’s Day is coming up, why not treat your father to a skincare product with the features mentioned above. So he can continue to be the father he is today, caring for and looking after his skin.
