Father’s Day is on the horizon and these days more and more men are taking an upscale approach to taking care of themselves. Male grooming is anything but taboo. Our men want their skin to look sharp and put their best face forward at all times. Keep scrolling to learn a few tips from our male grooming skin care playback.

The Basics

There are five things that differentiate men’s and women’s skin. Those five things are facial hair, skin thickness, collagen density, sebum production and texture. Male skin is about 20% thicker than female skin but according to Ivan Camacho, MD this thickness does not mean that a males skin is tougher. In certain instances for example, a man’s skin can be more sensitive to environmental stress and prone to deeper expression lines. Sebum production is also greater in men which can lead to acne and other acne related issues such as hyperpigmentation. Men also typically have a higher collagen density which may slow down aging.

Control Oil

Men have increased sebum production which may mean oilier skin for some. Control oil by incorporating a clay mask 1- 2x per week into your YELLE Essential System routine.  Aftercleansing and toning apply a facial mask as directed as an intensive treatment to absorb excess oil and draw out  impurities.

Shave Smart

Shaving is an essential part of many men’s grooming routine. Shave smart by using the proper technique, and best products to leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.  We recommend incorporating our Milk & Honey Cleanser, Awakening Toner, and Awakening Daily Moisturizer into your shaving routine along with your favorite shave cream, shave oil, and after shave product.

Age Smart

Scientist have found that men and women age differently.  As men age they have more of a likelihood to develop prominent aging in the area surrounding their eyes and also to develop deeper wrinkles on their face Tsukahara et al (2013). Eye cream, SPF, and a skin care routine that includes a targeted serum will help fight expression lines and environmental conditions that can harm the skin. For targeted support try the Awakening Peptide Boosting Serum with the antioxidant support of Vitamin C to stimulate collagen and elastin and refine the appearance of wrinkles.

Mind Your Beard

A well-groomed beard is essential to complimenting a man’s beautiful skin. Beard treatments will keep your beard looking sharp. Use our YELLE Milk and Honey Cleanser to wash your face and remove dirt and oil from your beard, follow up with your favorite beard oil and balm to keep your beard soft and hydrated.
