Men's Skin CareSkin Care Strategies for the EveryMAN Skin care isn't the most popular subject for most men around the world, especially in comparison to women. Globally, men spend about $28 billion U.S. dollars to take care of all their grooming needs (hair, face, shaving, etc.), whereas women (are you ready for this) spend $91 billion U.S. dollars worldwide just for skin care! So are guys saving money or hurting their skin? A little of both. The Paula's Choice Team is not looking to help men spend excessively on skin care, but without question, men need to take care of their skin. There are numerous benefits to adopting a basic skin-care routine:

Finding a Routine for Your Skin TypeWhat Products to Use Note that step 3 will differ from morning to night because you need sunscreen during the day and a moisturizer without sunscreen at night, when necessary.
A Smarter ShaveThe best time to shave is immediately following your shower, as washing your face will help soften the hairs which will make your shave smoother and less irritating. Don't use very hot water as that will irritate skin, causing redness and inflammation. Apply a well-formulated, gentle (meaning it doesn't contain any irritants) shave gel, working it into your beard. Using a clean, fresh razor, shave with the direction of your hair growth with short strokes. Be sure to rinse your razor often! Run your hands over your face to ensure that you haven't missed any areas. A fragrance-free shave gel loaded with anti-irritants will make your shave an easier one. Try Paula's Choice Close-Comfort Shave Gel and the new Schick Hydro 3 or Hydro 5 razors. Follow your shave with a product to help minimize irritation and red bumps—Paula's Choice Skin Relief Treatment is a liquid formula that calms your skin and minimizes redness. Applying after each shave can absolutely heal razor burn, cutting down on unsightly bumps and redness. FAQs for MenQ: Why is bar soap a bad thing? Q: What about acne on your face, neck, or back?
