So, in short, they need a good place to start<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guys, Know Your Skin Type<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alright dudes<\/em>, we\u2019re starting it off quick. First and foremost, before you storm out of the cosmetic store searching for good products to cure your skin problems, first, you need to know your skin type. You need to know, learn, and familiarize yourself with what your skin lacks, what it needs and how to properly treat them. With this, it\u2019s easier for you to determine which products and ingredients will do justice to your skin. The five common skin problems are\u2014normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. However, do bear in mind that you don\u2019t have to stick around on one particular product or ingredient, you can test and try around, no big deal. Just make sure you practice cautiousness and treat your skin as a delicate fabric\u2014you need to stray away from active elements that may or may not bring more damage to its surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read The Labels <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay<\/em>, even though I said this is a safe place to discuss skincare aka no judgement involved, I might lie a little bit. Here\u2019s a question, why do men never bother to read labels? Some even said reading labels are considered too much when it comes to finding the right product. Um, did you realize that studying the ingredients at the back of your skincare products are just as important in reading the ingredients on your food. You\u2019re concerned about what you put in your body, so why does it have to be any different on what you put on your skin? Right<\/em>. Anyhow, it is vital to learn the product shelf\u2014it will tell you what the product has to offer, and if there\u2019s any ingredients that might not be suitable to use on your skin. It might take a while to practice but once you get there the hang of it, you\u2019ll understand. Do not just simply purchase an item. Read the labels, and see if they\u2019re good enough to treat your skin concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5 Steps Routine <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While K-Beauty skincare for women consists of 10 steps\u2014some even believe it is actually more\u2014for male counterparts, they usually come in minuscule steps. Please do note that asian skin and western skin have huge differences in details, texture and needs. This is due to Asians being more prone to exposure to humid weather more than caucasian people. In addition to that, Asians have more delicateness in their skin barrier as opposed to westerners. So, any skincare related videos or articles that you read online might not be suitable for us Asians, because most of them are leaning more towards the western skin types. But worry not, below are the 5 easy peasy<\/em> skin routines that you can follow to master the art of beauty regime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Always Cleanse In The Morning <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This step shouldn\u2019t be considered unusual. No matter your skin types, always always always<\/em>, cleanse your face first thing in the morning after you wake up. As mentioned before, we need to treat our skin like a delicate canvas, so make sure you\u2019re doing your best to keep the surface clean and clear before you go about your daily routine. A good cleanse will help you to get rid of all that trapped oil, dirt and leftovers from the previous night\u2014hence, cleansing your face will eventually make you feel a lot fresher, nourished and hydrated. So do not ever skip these steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Start Using Toner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people tend to skip this essential part, but eventually, toning can actually help you wipe away all those dirt and leftovers that resurfaced right after you cleanse your face. Here\u2019s a simple way to understand; some facial cleansers are strong enough to pull out sebum that was stuck underneath your skin layers and barriers\u2014in results, those unwanted dead skin cells may remerge on top of your skin surface, this is when toner came into play. Find a toner that is soft but<\/em> strong enough to help wipe and clean those filthy texture. Your skin will feel a lot lighter than  before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Serums <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just like you should never skip cleansing, you should also never skip serum application. Serums are the arsenal when it comes to building blocks for greater looking skin. Especially if you\u2019re facing dull skin, ageing concerns and uneven skin tones. Most serums are made with the highest skin concentration, they\u2019re capable of restoring skin elastin, boosting hydration and preventing ageing. So you want a smoother complexion? Serum is the answer. Use it day and night and you\u2019ll see a big difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. SPF Is The Key To Protect The Barrier <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fellas<\/em>, did you realize that every single day you are often exposed to evil UV rays, fouly environment, and angry blue and green lights coming out from your daily devices? All of these are the sole reason behind your skin becoming dehydrated, pigmentation, texturized, and worse, skin cancer. It doens;t matter if you spend your whole day inside, it is still as important to incorporate sun protection into your daily routine\u2014your devices like smartphone, laptops and tv\u2019s are all containing blue and green lights that can overall harm your skin just as much as the uv lights. So, please, we can\u2019t stress this enough, layer a good amount of sunscreen to your face, neck and body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Face Mask-On!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For additional care, we suggest you use a face mask at least twice weekly. Doesn\u2019t matter if it is a sheet mask, clay mask or even gel mask\u2014a good face mask will further help your skin to achieve its best complexion and condition ever. Consider a face mask as your additional beauty bullet. Most face masks contain a good amount of water and few active ingredients to help bring back balance and restore the elastin and hydration that was lost once you\u2019re out strutting under the sunlight or all those stressed from work. In short, pampering your face with a good face mask is never a bad idea.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
