The Skincare Guide for Men: Everything You Need to Know

Because Great Skin Isn’t Just for Her 😉

Let’s face it—skincare has often been marketed toward women, but healthy, confident skin is for everyone. Whether you’re dealing with oily skin, shaving irritation, or just want to look your best, a simple skincare routine can make a world of difference. And no, it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Why Skincare Matters for Men Men's skin is different. It's about 25% thicker, tends to be oilier, and faces unique challenges like regular shaving. That means it needs targeted care. Investing a few minutes in a simple skincare routine can:

  • Prevent breakouts and irritation

  • Minimise signs of aging

  • Improve your skin's texture and tone

  • Boost confidence (yes, really)

At Luxora, we believe skincare is self-care ((and yes, we saw all those “skincare man” searches on our website😏)—no matter your gender. Here’s your no-fuss guide to building a solid skincare routine, designed just for men.

Step 1: Cleanse Like You Mean It
Men typically have oilier skin due to higher testosterone levels, so cleansing is key. Look for a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that removes dirt and excess oil without stripping your skin. Think of cleansing like brushing your teeth—non-negotiable, unless you like breakouts greeting you like an old friend. Tip: Wash your face twice daily—morning and night—for best results.

  • For oily skin: Choose a foaming cleanser with salicylic acid or tea tree oil.

  • For dry/sensitive skin: Go for a cream or gel-based cleanser with soothing ingredients like aloe or chamomile.

Step 2: Exfoliate (But Not Too Much) Start slow. Your skin is not in a Formula 1 race. Let it adjust.
Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and smooth your skin—especially if you shave regularly. Choose a chemical exfoliant (like salicylic acid) once or twice a week to keep things balanced.
Bonus: It helps prevent ingrown hairs, too.

  • Baby steps baby steps, remember! And ALWAYS patch test. If you're unsure, just email us—we’re basically your skincare pit crew.

  • Don’t overdo it—2 times a week is enough. Start with once though.... play safe for now 

Step 3: Moisturise Like a Pro
Yes, even oily skin needs moisture. A lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser keeps your skin hydrated and protects your barrier. For dry or sensitive skin? Go for something richer and soothing.

Step 4: Never Skip Sunscreen
This is your skin’s best friend. Daily SPF (at least 30) protects against sun damage, aging, and even dark spots. Make it the last step of your morning routine—rain or shine.

  • Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

  • Apply it every morning, even if it’s cloudy or you’re indoors (yes, windows let in UV!).

Optional but Powerful Add-ons. Add slowly, especially if your current routine is just splashing water and praying for the best. 😅

  • Eye Creams: Tackle puffiness or dark circles—especially after a long night, an early meeting, or both. And yep, go for anti-wrinkle ones too. We hate to say it, but yes, you get wrinkles too... welcome to the club. 😎

  • Serums: Think of these as targeted boosters. Vitamin C for brightening, niacinamide for oil control, hyaluronic acid for hydration. 

  • Face Masks: Great for weekly self-care and an extra glow-up moment.

Final Thoughts: Your skin is your first impression—might as well make it a great one, right?
