Best Facial Cleanser for Men 2021

Hi Everyone, Lisa here (+1 662 830 8246, info@nakedactives.com) most men do not give their skincare routine (or lack thereof) a second thought. They often site the difficulties and expense of investing in a skincare routine, fortunately enough this just is not the case. So, let’s talk a little bit about washing your face. The first step in men’s facial care entails:

• Lathering up your face with the same bar of soap you use on your body or hands, particularly the bar of soap you use in the shower.
• Rinsing off the soap under a stream of hot water
• Rubbing your face dry with a towel.
  
  

Does this sound familiar? Well it is a tried and true method, right? Well, while it is certainly tried, it is not the “true” way to take care of the skin on your face even if, technically, it gets your face somewhat clean. Here is why a typical bar of body soap has high alkalinity. Meanwhile, your skin is slightly acidic. The difference in pH is important because alkalinity can lead to bacteria that cause acne, among other things. The alkalinity may result in your facial skin feeling dry and irritated. Body soaps may also strip your skin of natural oils and cause it to compensate by producing more oils. Your face ends up looking greasy and you are more prone to breakouts. 

Skincare is more than using a soap bar to wash your face. Skincare products are made specifically for your face rather than your whole body. A good cleanser can address the issues you hope to prevent or control much better than bar soap.  From fewer wrinkles, zap zits, cutting through excess oil to making you look fresher and more alert is what a man needs from his face cleanser. The products mentioned in the list below work on the same issues and are proven to be very effective.
