It will not surprise anyone that the consumption of cosmetics by men is increasing, and the number of men who have decided to take their appearance into their own hands is growing. Time dictates trends in appearance, stereotypes that a man should not be well-groomed are not relevant. And being well-groomed does not mean doing a make-up every morning. Basic rules are enough to help your skin glow on the outside and you on the inside.
Everyone has long understood that male sexuality does not decrease if a man takes care of himself, but, on the contrary, grows. Well-groomed skin, hair, nails, etc. give confidence to their owners, and compliments increase self-esteem. All this affects our mood and, in the future, the general emotional background.
A man is an even more social creature and dependent on public opinion than we are used to thinking.
Most of the guys I've discussed the topic of self-care didn't take it seriously, saying they didn't need it, it seemed like everything was fine. However, as soon as I gave a friend a good hand cream or recommended a high-quality shampoo, he immediately understood the difference, thanking him for the fact that his skin became noticeably better. Then I realized why some guys do not pay enough attention to self-care: they simply do not know where to start, they need help with the choice and show the algorithm of actions.
In fact, basic male care can be compared to driving a manual transmission: at first it may be incomprehensible, but then everything happens automatically.
This is the kind of comparison you can use in front of your boyfriend when you go to a cosmetic store with him.
For the first acquaintance, you can buy a basic face set. There is a large selection of products on the market in various price segments, it is not a problem to find a quality product for $20. It is enough to have one universal cleanser, an all-in-one cream for the day and night, an eye cream and toner to make the skin visibly better. If your partner agrees, then sunscreen is also worth taking. He will evaluate it in the future. I will not talk about additional care products yet.
With extensive experience in using cosmetics, I have my own favorite products, brands, and I know how to combine products from different brands without harming my skin. However, everything was learned by comparison, there were enough mistakes, from which I learned. Now I choose cosmetics as carefully as I choose a partner for life. Below are examples of my daily routine (there are many more products in life):
Shampoo and conditioner for hair loss from Polish Pharmaceris, which really work, the main thing is patience, the result will be noticeable in a few months. The product line also includes scalp peeling and hair loss spray.
The massage brush helps the active components of the shampoo and conditioner to be better absorbed, helps fight dandruff and hair loss.
Uriage Facial & Body Cleansing Oil. Even my sensitive skin is suitable, as well as CeraVe lotion. It is also suitable for a child, it does not have fragrances and parabens.
The Body Shop Hand Cream with Vanilla and Pumpkin Scent is my backpack of choice. And for home use, I prefer hand cream from Kneipp with a warm scent of saffron and shea butter. I like them.
Pharmaceris again, a brand that has never let me down, everything is good about it: both the composition and the result. In the photo: a face spray for redness (thanks to a friend for the gift), a moisturizer with SPF20 and a serum for sensitive skin; La Roche-Posay cream for problem skin with light coverage. An ideal SOS remedy, when your skin decided to let you down at an important moment, then this cream will help hide redness or traces of post-acne, works as a corrector for problem skin. Eye cream by the Polish brand Tołpa.
Lip balm from the German brand Lavera and lip scrub from the Belarusian brand Sativa. I use the balm before going outside, and I use the scrub for care before going to bed. With these products, dry and chapped lips will be a thing of the past.
You will have to try a lot of things to understand what really suits you, and once you find your own, you will no longer want to use something that does not bring you pleasure and does not work for your benefit.
