Anti-Aging Skin Care Regimen for Men

Men may not admit it and they don't really show it... but in fact they are now as concerned about their skin as women are in many cases. Instead of neglecting skin care and then going for complex medical procedures, it’s always better to follow a good anti-aging skin care regimen and prevent premature aging before it’s too late.

The difference between a men's anti-aging skin care regimen and a women's skin care regimen lies more in the skin care products than it does with the processes involved. This is because men's skin is intrinsically different from that of women and therefore the ingredients of the products differ as well. Men's skin care products contain less oil because their skin tends to be oilier.

Here are some key steps to an efficient anti-aging skin care regimen.

Deep Cleanse your Face
Cleansing your face not only removes all the impurities from the skin pores, but also controls the oiliness of the face. Use a good cleanser that effectively flushes out all the dirt, debris, dead skin cells and excessive oil particles from within the skin pores and leaves the skin squeaky clean.

iS Clinical Cleansing Complex - It is a superb cleanser by Innovative Skincare. It is great for resurfacing and deep cleaning the skin and also controls acne inflammations and breakouts. Though it is powerful, it can be safely used on sensitive skin. It cleans the skin thoroughly without drying it and leaves it smooth and supple.

Shave Properly
Men generally follow the same standard steps of shaving since they started doing it. Worse, some men attempt a dry shave without shaving cream. An improper shave can wreck havoc on the skin and irritate further leading to small bumps, scratches and dryness. Here are some steps to shaving properly and efficiently.

First, prepare your skin for the shave. Splash some tepid water and use a shaving cream to create plenty of lather so that the skin becomes moist and soft. Use a cream that soothes sensitive skin and prevents any inflammations and breakouts.
Next, start shaving in the same direction of hair growth and rinse often.
Finally, rinse with cool water and apply moisturizer or after shave lotion.

Apply Sunscreen
Don't reserve the sunscreen for the beach or only for summer months. Your skin is susceptible to sun damage throughout the day and year. Unprotected sun exposure for long periods can lead to skin damage and cause premature aging of the skin.

Use Anti Aging Skin Care Products

To combat the signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin or age spots, you need to use anti-aging skin care products that specifically target the problem areas. Anti- aging skin care products diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers within the skin surface. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and radiant and looks younger.
