Skincare for men
The needs and wants of a men's skin
The male skin also needs quality ingredients and nourishing products to keep the skin barrier healthy and vital. Contrary to popular belief, men’s skin has specific characteristics and texture that differ from women’s skin.
Suffering from oily skin? You’re not alone!
The hormone testosterone determines the characteristics of male skin and gives it a different structure to female skin. Every skin is unique, and every situation is different. However, men tend to have more oily skin and suffer from impurities and acne. This skin ailment is a direct result of increased sebum production, which is often hormonally determined.
A shiny face requires appropriate care. Aggressive products damage the skin even more and can stimulate the production of sebum in oily areas. So don’t use them! Always use mild products and make sure to exfoliate your skin every week.
Get rid of acne and blackheads
Boost of Oxygen Facial Scrub
This scrub works wonders for oily T-zones and acne-prone skin. The facial scrub with rice grains and natural essential oils gently removes dead skin cells and impurities while nourishing and repairing the skin.
- Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
- Counteracts textured skin and congestion.
- Vitamin C reduces acne.
Do you suffer from sensitive skin during and after shaving?
A fresh, clean-shaven face is a must for many men to start the day with confidence. Unfortunately, this ritual often results in irritated skin with red bumps as a consequence. The face can feel dry, tight, and rough and can overreact to external influences such as the sun, wind, or cold. Do you want to avoid this?
- Cleanse your skin daily with a mild facial lotion
- Moisturise afterwards with a nourishing day cream or restorative night cream
Dry skin, redness, itching or flaky skin under the beard?
These are all common problems among men. Suffering from a fry and itchy feeling is caused by a wide range of factors such as:
- Temperature changes
- Non-natural skin care products
These often contain chemical and harsh ingredients, such as SLE and alchohol, which damage the skin barrier and dry it out. They disrupt the functioning of the stratum corneum (outer skin layer), causing the skin to lose too much moisture. Bacteria and impurities can thus penetrate the skin and cause inflammation.
Cleanse
Cleanse your face with a mild and moisturising facial lotion suitable for people with sensitive skin. Always avoid products with chemical and drying ingredients such as alchohol, among others. They damage the skin’s barrier function, which only increases irritation.
Hydrate
Always make sure you help damaged skin recover sufficiently after shaving with caring and moisturising day and/or night cream. SELF’s skincare range contains a high dose of vitamins and antioxidants that restore the skin barrier and maintain moisture balance.
Male hands suffer a lot!
Men's hands? They get the brunt of it!
Do you suffer from dry hands like so many others? It is normal for your hands to feel dry and rough from all that washing. Most foaming soaps contain chemicals like SLS that damage your hands’ skin barrier. This natural protective barrier regulates your skin’s moisture balance and keeps bacteria at bay. For people with sensitive skin and conditions like psoriasis and eczema, these chemicals can cause even more damage. The result? Dry and tight skin with sometimes even chapping and wounds.
