Face Cleansers for Men
How is men’s face care different from women’s
Men’s skin is structurally different from women’s because male skin is traditionally thicker, hairier and rougher than female skin. Male skin also produces more sebum, which explains why most men encounter acne for longer periods of time compared to women.
For this reason, women’s skincare products focus largely on moisture-boosting benefits, while men’s facial washes and other skincare products are designed with the necessary ingredients that address skincare concerns such as acne, sebum control and razor burns.
Why cleansing is important for men
Cleansing is an important skincare step that shouldn’t be ignored. Using a suitable face wash or cleanser for men twice a day strips away dirt, dust and excess oil to prevent acne and blackheads. Skincare experts recommend cleansing right before shaving because oil and dirt can affect the quality of the shave, making it hard for the razor to move smoothly across the skin.
Apart from cleansing, you should also use an exfoliating cleanser for men at least once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores.
Clarins’ cleansing products and face washes for men
The ClarinsMen Active Face Wash is a plant-based detox foaming gel that purifies the skin to leave it feeling clean and refreshed without harming the natural moisture barrier.
This gentle cleansing gel is one of the best face washes for men because it contains Grindelia and Checkerberry extracts. These ingredients remove all traces of pollution while unclogging pores to give the skin a light detox. It also softens parts of the skin that have been damaged by razor burn, while toning and protecting the skin from environmental stressors.
The cleanser should be used in the morning to refresh the skin and prepare it for shaving, and once again in the evening to remove the impurities of the day. When rinsing off, use Rinse cold water as this tones and soothes the skin.
