How does men's skin differ from women's? Can men benefit from skin care products?
Men and women's skin is similar in structure, although men tend to have more hair and increased
oil production. Men can certainly benefit from a professionally-recommended skin care regime,
not only to remedy shaving problems, but also to combat other problems frequently associated
with men's skin. For example, because men tend to have oilier skin than women, they tend to
have more blockheads and breakouts. A program of cleansing, exfoliation and moisturization
will help prevent blemishes and keep the skin in optimum condition.
I'm a soap-and-water user now and I don't want a complicated regimen. What should I use?
Many people prefer not to have a complicated skin care regimen, but realize that using a
soap-and-water approach can damage and dehydrate the skin. Dermalogica recommends that
you use Special Cleansing Gel, a soap-free, foaming skin wash, MultiActive Toner,
a rebalancing facial spritz, and Active Moist, a light, oil-free face lotion.
This quick and efficient routine takes little time, and will leave your skin in its best
condition.
Once you are comfortable with these three products for everyday use, consider the addition of an exfoliant like Skin Prep Scrub, which really helps with shaving preparation, and a deep-cleaning masque like Skin Refining Masque to help reduce breakouts and blockheads. And, of course, never venture into the sun without proper solar protections complete solar block from Dermalogica's Solar Defense System.
What can I do to avoid ingrown hair?
Many men suffer from ingrown hairs, which is often simply a result of improper shaving
preparation. Before shaving, "power cleanse" with a mixture of a gentle scrub and foaming
skin wash, or use a facial brush with face wash to exfoliate the skin and lift the hairs.
Select a shaving product that providesa close shave while preventing nicks, and redness.
Follow with a light moisturizer and a skin-calming
Gentle Soothing Booster to fresh the skin, restoring its natural balance.
Why should I use Dermalogica's Professional Shave instead of shaving cream, foam or gel?
Professional Shave creates an invisible comfort barrier of moisture between the razor and the
skin. Organic Silicones buffer the razor to prevent nicks, cuts and irritation while concentrated
oils smooth and condition the skin during the shave. When used daily, it softens the hair,
increases skin smoothness and reduces shave sensitivity. Its concentrated formula eliminates
the need for messy shaving foams, creams and gels. It may be used with an electric or wet shaving
system for complete shaving convenience.
