When cared for incorrectly, men are prone to acne, premature aging or skin irritation.
Strong Shave: During the shaving process, the harder you press, the more uneven the skin surface will be. From there, the razor easily cuts into the skin, creating scratches or redness, itching after shaving. Before shaving, men should use warm water to wet the beard. Apply foam, shaving gel containing skin-soothing ingredients. Next, move the razor in the direction of hair growth. Shaving in the direction of hair growth helps prevent burning. Image: Men’s Health. Skip the neck area: The neck is one of the first places to show signs of aging. Therefore, men should take care of the neck skin similar to the face skin. Apply moisturizer, sunscreen to the neck every day skin care. “If care stops at the jawline, you’re doing it the wrong way,” says Dr. Mike Varshavski. Image: Mario Rodriguez Jr.. Squeeze acne: When having acne, many guys have a habit of poking, squeezing or squeezing acne. This contributes to the spread of bacteria, increasing the risk of permanent post-acne scarring. Besides, squeezing acne the wrong way also makes the skin worse or acne more. “In fact, squeezing pimples can delay your body’s natural healing process,” says Dr. Mike Varshavski of New York.

Highly alkaline cleansers increase the pH of the skin. Your skin will feel clean after using these cleansers. However, it signals the moisture in the skin has been taken away. Over time, the skin becomes sensitive and easily irritated. Image: Adobe Stock. Forgetting to put on sunscreen: Sunscreen isn’t just for beach travel. You should wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 year-round. Even on rainy, cloudy days, UV rays from the sun still exist. Long-term sun exposure causes brown spots, aging, and even skin cancer. Image: The Manual. Skip exfoliation: Men’s skin has large pores, sebaceous glands are more active and produce more oil than women. Every day, sebum, impurities and dead skin accumulate beneath the pores. If you don’t exfoliate, they will clog up, creating conditions for acne to form. Image: The Manual. Changing cosmetics too often: We need about 6 weeks to see the effect of cosmetics. If you constantly use different beauty products, it will be difficult for you to observe the effect. Meanwhile, irritation and allergies can occur if changing cosmetics too much. Image: Getty.
