1 Why You Need to Apply Sunscreen Under Your Beard (And Other Essential Skin Scare Tips For Men) Noma Hazish |June 30,2019 Don't skip moistuizing. Your skin loses natural moisture every time you wash it. This is why applying a moisturizer right after cleansing or shaving is essential to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. "I have noticed that men who start using moisturizer and sunscreen get a dramatic improvement in the appearance of their skin within weeks," notes Dr. Anna Guanche, a California-based board- certified dermatologist and founder of the Bella Skin Institute. Try Bulldog's Original Moisturizer, Bleu de Chanel 2-In-1 Moisturizer For Face And Beard or Kiehl's Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment. Exfoliate once a week. Exfoliate once or twice a week to slough off the build-up of sebum, dead skin cells and other impurities. "Gentle exfoliation also helps with hyperpigmentation or brown spots, reduces acne breakouts and keeps the skin appearing fresh and bright," says Dr. Guanche. Try Baxter Of California Facial Scrub, Malin+Goetz Jojoba Face Scrub or DTRT First thing First Face Scrub. If you want to further deep clean your pores, "apply a clay-based mask, like Revision Skincare's Black Mask, once a week. Leave it on for around ten minutes before you shower, then rinse it and follow with your usual shave," suggests Dr. Nussbaum.
