Everyday stressors on men’s skin

Stress, pollution, air conditioning, chemical load, poor sleep and diet can all take their toll. Unless you’re extremely lucky, your skin will soon show its displeasure!

Men’s vs women’s skin — the key differences

  • Thicker skin: typically firmer in appearance.
  • More collagen: higher density may slow visible ageing.
  • Facial hair growth: shaving can dry and irritate the skin.

Why care? Regular shaving can dry out skin, so choosing men’s organic skincare helps maintain balance.

Mineral oil? Go easy

Many mainstream products contain comedogenic ingredients like mineral oil (paraffinum liquidum). This can block pores and contribute to ingrown hairs and breakouts.

What can happen:

  • Residue builds up in and over pores.
  • Skin can’t breathe properly.
  • Dead cells & bacteria trap under the surface.
  • Inflammationingrown hairs or spots that feel sore.

AM routine (2 minutes)

  1. Cleanse: use a gentle face wash; avoid harsh surfactants that leave skin tight.
  2. Hydrate: apply a lightweight men’s face moisturiser to damp skin.
  3. Protect: finish with a comfortable, broad-spectrum SPF.

For practical SPF guidance, see the NHS on sunscreen & sun safetySPF application & reapplication.

PM routine (4 minutes)

  1. Cleanse: remove sweat, grime and sunscreen.
  2. Target: add a simple serum if you have a clear goal (hydration/clarity/calm).
  3. Moisturise: support the skin barrier with a comfortable lotion or cream.
  4. Weekly: exfoliate 1–2× to lift dead cells (keep it gentle).

Top men’s natural skincare tips

  • Start within: steady diet, quality sleep, time outdoors for natural vitamin D.
  • Keep it simple: a short routine with natural skincare products helps skin cope with daily stressors.
  • Reduce ingrowns: cleanse consistently; avoid heavy occlusives that block pores.

Skin-type guidance

  • Sensitive: choose simple formulas and no added fragrance; always patch test.
  • Oily/breakout-prone: avoid heavy occlusives; exfoliate gently and infrequently.
  • Combination: lighter textures on oilier zones; add extra moisture where needed.

Post-shave skin care (barrier-first)

After shaving, calm and rehydrate first before adding actives or scent. Explore post-shave care for men.

Vegan & fragrance-free options

If you’re reactive to perfume, look for fragrance-free (no added fragrance). Many of our men’s essentials are vegan and cruelty-free — browse Men’s Face and Men’s Hair & Body.

If you’re fragrance-sensitive, consider guidance from Allergy UK: Allergy to cosmetics.
