Gentlemen, gone are the days when you’d just wash your face and be out the door. Skin care is now for everyone, gender no bar. Having a regular and consistent skin care routine not only means that you’re taking care of the largest organ of your body, but it almost promotes some healthy self-love, which we all deserve and need. Don’t worry, we won't complicate this for you. Add just a few must-have products to your regime and see how your skin thanks you. This #InternationalMensDay, choose skin health for yourself.
cleanser
The first step to an effective skin care routine is cleansing. Our skin is constantly assaulted with dust, pollution and environmental triggers, and it’s important to rid your skin of these impurities without stripping it of its natural moisture and pH balance. Special Cleansing Gel, a soap-free, gentle cleanser does just this. This iconic cleanser, which contains naturally-foaming Quillaja Saponaria, gently rinses away toxins and debris to leave skin feeling smooth and clean. Lightweight and mild enough to use every day, it also features calming Balm Mint and Lavender extracts to soothe the skin.
exfoliant
If you want to achieve truly clean and healthy skin, then it’s time to start exfoliating. While our skin cells naturally shed every 30 days, sometimes, the dead skin cells may remain on the skin’s surface, resulting in blocked pores and breakouts. Exfoliating helps slough off these dead skin cells to reveal cleaner, smoother skin. The Daily Microfoliant is a gentle rice-based powder, which activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes to polish skin to perfection. A Skin Brightening Complex of Phytic Acid from Rice Bran, White Tea and Licorice helps balance uneven skin tone while a super-soothing blend of Colloidal Oatmeal and Allantoin helps calm skin.
moisturise and sun protection
Both moisturising your skin and protecting it from the sun’s harsh UV rays are critical. Moisturisation nourishes your skin and strengthens its natural defence barrier, while SPF protects it from the sun’s rays, which can cause long-term damage. But we know that two additional steps can be daunting so we have the perfect, multi-tasking solution for you. The Protection 50 Sport is a water-resistant Broad Spectrum SPF-cum-moisturiser (up to 80 minutes) for the face and body. This sheer solar protection treatment defends against prolonged skin damage from UV light and environmental assault. Oleosome microspheres help enhance SPF performance and counteract moisture loss triggered by extended daylight exposure. Lightweight formula helps neutralise damage and bind moisture to skin without a greasy after-feel.
