Men's Summer Skincare

While skincare can be downright terrifying (not to mention confusing!) to most men, it doesn’t mean it isn’t of crucial importance! 

 

All men will benefit from a skincare routine, no matter how simple it may be. In fact, most will realize that unless they are struggling with a specific skin issue, such as recurring breakouts, dry skin, red patches, or inflammation, sticking to the basics will work perfectly for their needs!

 

Many of the brands we carry offer a wide range of men’s skincare products, including Yonka, Hemp Code, Babor, Nelly de Vuyst, Cellcosmet, and Biologique Recherche. That being said, just because a product isn’t labeled for men doesn’t mean men can’t use it––most medical skincare products are suitable for all people and all genders. Only minor details in the formulation or with the fragrances cause the gendered product lines to differ. 

 

On that note, here are some of our men’s skincare product staples for a basic summer routine that covers all the bases:

     

CLEANSING 

 

NELLY DE VUYST FOAMING WASH SENSITIVE SKIN FOR MEN - $61.32

The skin becomes clean, soft and healthy with a comfortable fresh feeling. Can also be used daily for shaving!

  

YONKA PARIS FOAM GEL - $36

 

Delight the skin with the freshness of this fine foaming gel that combines gentle botanical emulsifiers with purifying and cleansing ingredients. For flawless, cleansed skin that doesn’t feel tight as soon as you wake up.

  

TREATING 

 

YONKA PARIS UNDER EYE GEL - $47 

 

This ultra-fresh gel with natural ingredients visibly smoothes and energizes the eye contours to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, even after a long day. Can be used as a mask (5 minutes) for extreme fatigue––an immediate effect guaranteed!

PROTECTING

 

ELTAMD UV CLEAR BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 46 - $71
