Now, we get that this whole skincare routine might not sound like “you,” and we’ll admit that “anti-aging” isn’t an immediately appealing term for everyone. But if you’ve ever thought you’ve spent too many days in the sun without SPF or haven’t quite gotten enough sleep in your thirties, then it’s best to start implementing a skincare routine to preserve those good looks!
Step 1: Exfoliation
The first step in your skincare routine should focus on cleansing and exfoliating. You should cleanse twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, using either a cream-based cleanser (if your skin is dry) or a foaming cleanser (if you struggle with excess oil and breakouts). Twice a week, treat your skin to an exfoliating treatment or scrub. This will remove dead, dry skin cells and smooth out rough patches. It will also help prevent ingrown hairs, as the hair follicle won’t have to push through a layer of dead skin cells. It also allows your other skincare products, like your daily moisturizer, to work more effectively to keep you looking fresh. The SKIN REPUBLIC for Men Facial Scrub + Charcoal contains a natural exfoliant (no harmful microbeads that pollute the environment) to remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.
Step 2: Hydration
While we’re not suggesting you throw out your daily moisturizer, sometimes your skin needs an extra moisture boost. Enter the second step in your quest for a Benjamin Button face: a sheet mask. Say what? Think of it as a mud mask’s more sophisticated older brother—mess-free and usable anywhere. A sheet mask is a cotton mask with cutouts for the eyes, nose, and mouth (if you’re picturing Hannibal Lecter, you’re on the right track), saturated in 23ml of skin-restoring serum. Think of it as a skincare boost to your regular exfoliate-cleanse-moisturize routine—something to do when your skin needs a reboot.
The SKIN REPUBLIC for Men Energising Face Mask Sheet is super-hydrating and comes in two sections: one for the top and another for the bottom of your face. This makes it ideal for bearded guys who can wear it over their beards or save it until after shaving as a great post-shave treatment. This mask is perfect for men concerned about tired, dry skin and the onset of wrinkles. Containing wrinkle-fighting CoQ10, vitamin E, and smoothing vitamin C, the sheet mask cools and hydrates your skin, leaving it smoother than your pick-up lines. After 20 minutes, your face feels as though it has been refreshed and reborn.
Step 3: Eye Mask
The final step is an eye mask. Unlike an eye cream, these soft gel eye masks deliver a concentrated and continuous dose of skincare ingredients to the delicate under-eye area—no patting or pulling required, which is often necessary with eye creams and can damage the fragile skin under the eyes. The SKIN REPUBLIC for Men Anti-Fatigue Charcoal Under Eye Patches are infused with caffeine, volcanic ash, and vitamin C, cooling the skin upon application. They instantly reduce under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and dryness, eliminating those pesky signs of tiredness to reveal eyes that look more awake and refreshed.
