Care Gentle Cleansing Am I doing the wrong thing for my oily skin?
I usually have oily skin and I never really got into taking care of my skin until recently (shame on me, I know) so I got a facial puff thing that is supposed to be gentle on my skin for daily cleansing, but now that I've gotten more regular with my skincare, my face is slightly itchy. Should I just stick with a softer cloth? Any tips?
Could it just be the weather also? My grandmother keeps telling me that "this time of the year" makes people get dry skin.
Wash with a facial cleanser
Tone
Hydrate with an oil-free moisturizer (water based)
Throw out that scrubby, and leave that to your facial scrub- like a microdermabrasion scrub. It's important not to scrub more then 2-3 times a week if oily. And remember! Let the scrub do the work, not the pressure of your hands. Be gentle. It best to use your hands in the cleansing process. Then use toner to balance your PH and remove anything missed in the cleanse. It sounds like you may be topically de-hydrated. Drink plenty of water, and make SURE you use a moisturizer (with spf, too).
Hope this gets you relief.

Skin Care: Men's Skin Care
‘Man skin care’ would seem like an alien topic to some men. It would have been even more alien a few years back. However, more and more men are now realising the importance of man skin care (and hence you see markets flush with man skin care products too). Even though the male skin is very different from that of a female, ‘man skin care’ is very similar to the skin care for women.
‘Man skin care’ too starts with cleansing. Water soluble cleansers are preferred. Cleansing helps remove the dirt, grease and pollutants from the skin and helps in preventing pore clogging. The inherent oily nature of male skin makes cleansing an important part of man skin care procedure. Cleansing should be done at least once every day, even better if it is done twice a day. Using soap on the face is discouraged.
‘Man skin care’ revolves a lot around shaving. Shaving foam/gel/cream and after shave lotion are one of the most important man skin care products. Serious ‘man skin care’ requires a proper selection of shaving related equipment and products. One of the main considerations in choosing shaving products should be the skin type (since the degree of oiliness differs from person to person). Alcohol-based aftershaves should be avoided. Proper ‘man skin care’ also mandates the use of good quality razors. Here, swivel-head razors are preferred since they are known to reduce cuts. Besides these products and equipment, it is also necessary that you use them properly. Be gentle when using your razor. Do not scratch it against your skin; use a soft and smooth action (after all it’s a matter of removing hair, not the skin itself).
Male skin is generally thicker and oilier, owing to larger pores and more active sebaceous glands. However, due to regular shaving, the skin can get dehydrated quite easily. Hence moisturisers too form an integral part of man skin care. Moisturising gel or cream should be applied after shaving. In fact, some shaving foams/ gel have an in-built moisturising effect too. Moisturisers should be patted gently over the face and massaged gently using upward strokes.
Though a man’s skin is less susceptible to skin cancer caused by UV radiation, using a sunscreen is also an important man skin care measure. You can use a moisturiser that combines sunscreen with the moisturising effect.
Another good option for ‘man skin care’ is to use man skin care products which have natural ingredients like aloe vera, sea salt and coconut etc. Naturally antiseptic oils e.g. lavender, tea tree etc also provide good means for man skin care.
Man skin care is not as difficult as a lot of men think. It just asks for a few minutes every day, in order to give you a healthy skin for present and for future.
