Skin analysis

  • One can’t treat their face nor can they know which products suit them if they don’t know what type of skin they have, and if it has problems.

3 steps

Most men think women are the only ones who need a skin regime. Your face needs a proper cleanser, toner and moisturiser to keep it clean and cater for any other skin issues you have.

Exfoliation

You need to exfoliate at least twice a week to keep your skin healthy. Exfoliating will help get rid of dead skin cells that build up on your skin. This is also great after shaving because exfoliating helps prevent ingrown hairs.

Sunscreen

No matter what the season, sunscreen is always important to help protect your skin against the African sun. We may not see the damage, but too much sun darkens the skin, causes pigmentation problems and burns the skin.

Scent

It’s great for a man to have a signature scent. Always have a staple perfume and a deodorant for on-the-go. Men generally sweat more than women do so it’s essential to always stay fresh.
