There are hundreds of men’s skincare products out there and most, if not all, target a specific skin type. Whether it be “normal,” “oily,” “combination” or other, these products were designed to help men avoid or provide a solution for a specific skin challenge. Trouble is, as we’ve learned via our stores and hundreds (literally) of e-mails, most men haven’t a clue as to what type of skin they have. Without knowing your skin type, it’s certainly a challenge to connect to the proper skincare routine and the appropriate products to use.
Well, the Grooming Guys are here to help. Below please find our quick and easy guide to determining your skin type:
Dry/Sensitive Skin
Skin easily irritated from shaving? Prone to inflammatory eruptions? Highly reactive to new products? A pain in the ass? If you’re feeling what we’re saying, you have sensitive skin amigo.
Oily Skin
Feeling a bit greasy? Got large, visible pores and a few blackheads here and there. Are breakouts commonplace? If you said yes, yes, yes — you’re the proud owner of some oily skin pal.
Combination Skin
Skin kinda’ average? No huge issues, but a bout of dryness or oiliness not out of the question? Stand by for a diagnosis of combination skin.
Mature Skin
Are you sporting some legit wrinkles, fine lines and under-eye bags? Wishing you looked less ancient? Turn back the clock a bit bro, since what you’ve got going on is a clear-cut case of mature skin.
Now that you know your skin-type category, you can select those products directly targeted to your type of dermis. Every product on our site, or others, says the type of mug it’s made for. But for a quick and easy regimen, you can certainly visit here.
