Misconception 1: Using soap every day is enough
Using soap regularly can affect the pH balance of the skin. When the skin feels dry or tight, the sebaceous glands will secrete more oil, making the face even oilier.
Misconception 2: Acne will go away on its own or can be squeezed with hands
Squeezing pimples with hands or leaving them untreated will only make the acne go deeper and may even leave uneven scars.
Misconception 3: Diet and lifestyle have no impact on beauty
It is untrue that eating greasy, spicy, and stimulating foods or smoking will not affect the appearance of the skin. Only by developing good eating habits, eating light and fresh food, drinking plenty of water, smoking less, and engaging in enough exercise, can the skin be effectively improved.
Misconception 4: Skincare products for women can also be used by men
Most men have oily and dehydrated skin, so they should choose skincare products that are more refreshing. Women's skincare products are mostly moisturizing and are not suitable for men.
Misconception 5: Sun protection is only a concern for women
Sun protection is not just about avoiding getting tanned. The ozone layer is getting depleted, and the damage it causes to the skin is increasing. It accelerates skin aging and can cause various skin diseases. Therefore, sun protection is important for both men and women.
Types and Steps of Men's Skincare
1. Cleansing (Cleansing Milk): Use water at 30-40 degrees Celsius, with gentle movements, for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. It is recommended to use exfoliating cleanser twice a week.
2. Shaving (Shaving Cream): Wash the face before shaving to prevent bacteria from entering.
3. Toner.
4. Exfoliation: Use exfoliating scrub. If you do regular self-care, you can use a fine-grained one. If the interval is long, choose a coarser or medium one. Do not use exfoliating scrub on sensitive skin.
5. Skincare: For oily skin, choose emulsion or water-based skincare products. For dry skin, choose oil-based skincare products. Use oil-based products in autumn and winter.
6. Special care: Men who work outdoors or in high-temperature environments should wear windproof masks, eye protection, and apply skin protectants to prevent excessive exposure to UV rays and dust contamination.
8. For deep care, facial massage and facial masks are also necessary.
