In today’s fast-paced world, skincare is no longer limited to one gender, it’s simply about maintaining healthy skin.

Grooming does not need to take up half your morning. For most men, a few good habits and the right products are enough to keep skin clean, comfortable and well cared for.

A basic skincare routine for men can start with just three things: a cleanser, a moisturiser and sunscreen. From there, you can add products depending on your skin type, beard, lifestyle and personal preferences.

If you are wondering how to start a skincare routine as a man, here is a simple place to begin.

Step 1: Start With A Gentle Cleanser

A cleanser is usually the first step in any routine. Throughout the day, your face picks up sweat, excess oil and dirt. Washing it off at the end of the day - and after a workout - helps keep the skin feeling fresh.

Look for a cleanser that suits your skin type. Someone with oily skin may prefer a formula that helps remove excess oil, while dry skin may need something gentler that does not leave the face feeling tight.

A good face wash for men can also make beard care easier, especially if you have facial hair.

Step 2: Moisturise After Cleansing

Once your face is clean, follow it with a moisturiser. Cleansing removes dirt and excess oil, but your skin still needs moisture to stay comfortable.

The same applies to the rest of your body. A body lotion for men can be especially useful after a shower, when the skin may feel dry or tight.

You do not necessarily need separate products for every part of your body. The better approach is to understand what your skin needs and choose accordingly.

Step 3: Sunscreen Belongs in Your Morning Routine

Sunscreen is an easy step to overlook, particularly when you are spending most of the day indoors. But sun protection is an important part of daytime skincare.

Apply sunscreen after your moisturiser in the morning. If you are outdoors for an extended period, reapply it as recommended on the product.

Once this becomes part of your morning routine, it takes very little extra time.

Step 4: And Then Comes Fragrance

There is another part of grooming that has little to do with skincare but makes a difference to how you feel when you step out - fragrance.

An Eau de Parfum can be the final step after your shower and skincare. You may want something lighter for the day and a more distinctive fragrance for an evening out.

Putting Together Your Grooming Kit

You do not need a bathroom cabinet full of products to have a well-rounded routine.

A practical set of men's grooming products could include:

• Face & Beard Wash

• Face Moisturiser

• Sunscreen

• Body lotion

• Eau de Parfum

That is a good starting point. You can add other products when you find that you actually need them.

For someone who travels often, multipurpose products are particularly handy. A gift set for men's grooming routine can also bring several everyday must-haves together in one place.

What Skincare Products Do Men Actually Need?

There is no fixed list. Your routine should depend on your skin, your lifestyle and how much grooming you actually want to do.

If you have never followed a routine before, keep it manageable. Cleanse your face, moisturise and apply sunscreen during the day. Use a body lotion when your skin feels dry, and add beard care or fragrance if they are part of your routine.

That is enough to get started.
