First and foremost, all skincare is gender neutral and you can use whatever you want. BUT your typical alpha male probably wonโt want to use something that comes in pretty pink packaging, am I right ladies?
Everyone should try take care of their skin, be that for vanity reasons (like me), to pamper and feel good about yourself or simply to protect it from harsh environments.
As a sidenote, I personally, as a man tend to avoid skincare aimed at men. I find them a bit cliche with the black, metalic or blue packaging. I also don’t think they’re necessarily the most active products on the market for a skincare junkie like myself, but for your typical man who isn’t that interested in skincare, they’re good places to start.
If youโre trying unsuccessfully to get your boyfriend to take care of his skin here are some brands/products aimed at men that they may enjoy. Iโve deliberately chosen the basics, because not everyone wants a 5-10 step routine, and thatโs absolutely fine.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Jordan Samuel Skin The Matinee Gel Cleanser
I love the Jordan Samuel Skin products and his packaging. Itโs totally unisex, your boyfriend will have a hard time turning his nose up at it. The Matinee Gel Cleanser is particulary great because itโs a super effective, gentle cleanser that contains chamomile and cucumber extracts and a little bit of salicylic acid. You canโt go wrong with any of his products.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ No7 Energising Moisturiser SPF15
The Energising range by No7 is particularly good. The moisturiser contains Vitamin C to give your skin a little antioxidant defence. Great for if they just want a quick routine of cleanse, moisturiser and sunscreen.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Super Facialist Hyaluronic Acid Day Moisturiser
Like the No7 Moisturiser, this is a great quick routine moisturiser because it contains hyraluronic acid and also tetrapeptide to help with finelines and wrinkles.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Fade Out Skincare Advanced Brightening Moisturiser SPF20 (AD/PR)
This is another quick routine moisturiser due to the added Niacinamide to help brighten and correct an uneven skintone.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Garnier Sensitive Advanced UV Face Fluid SPF50
Sunscreen is non-negotiable and this is a superb, light-weight, invisible sunscreen. They wonโt even feel like theyโre wearing it ๐
Whatโs your partnerโs routine like when it comes to skincare? Do you buy skincare for your boyfriend?
