Men have approximately 15% oilier skin and significantly larger pores than women do. Basically, this means you get dirtier. It is very important; no matter what skin type you have, to clean your face every day. Deep cleansing is important. It keeps pores clear, skin healthy and you looking good.

Cleansing products should be as chemical-free as possible. Deodorant soaps shouldn't be used on your face. They cleanse with harsh ingredients and leave a detergent film behind. This may irritate your skin and will clog your pores. Go natural.

A good scrub is essential for healthy clean skin. It will remove dead cells and smooth the surface of your face. The scrub should be strong without being damaging. Stay away from scrubs that contain rough elements like ground bits of nut or seed extracts. They will tear and damage the skin. A good scrub will invigorate you, not hurt you.

Moisturizing is a necessity. Again, the product with the least amount of chemical additives is the best. Always use a light moisturizer on your face after cleansing and shaving and don't forget your neck!

Lips do not have the ability to tan, but they can definitely burn. If you are exposed to UVA or UVB rays on a regular basis it is definitely recommended to use a lip protection product with SPF. This is especially true for people who burn easily. The use of Lip balm with an SPF may help prevent premature signs of aging, freckling, uneven coloration and possible cancer-causing effects of over-exposure to sun. Make sure the SPF product you use protects against both UVA and UVB rays. This is important for both outdoor and indoor (tanning bed) use.
