The transition between winter and spring can come as a relief for many men. Finally, some warmer weather to enjoy after the blistering cold!
Yet, in the warmer months of spring, men are more likely to sweat and use sunscreen. Without the proper care, these can negatively affect and cause long-term issues for your skin’s health.
It’s our duty to help you keep your skin looking great. That’s why we’re providing you with 5 spring skincare tips for men in today’s blog.
Why Is Cleansing Important For Your Face?
In the winter, your pores get a bit of a break. You don’t sweat as much when outdoors, and there’s less need to apply daily sunscreen to protect your skin.
However, in the spring, it’s a different story. A big spring skincare issue is sweat and its ability to clog your pores and cause breakouts.
That’s why cleansing is more important than ever when it comes to your spring skincare routine. A good cleanser will help rid your pores of sweat and ensure that they stay clean and fresh.
No one wants to go into spring with a face full of spots - so make sure you follow these spring skincare tips for men!
What Type Of Man's Moisturizer Is Best For Sweaty Skin?
In the winter, it’s easy to use a thick moisturizer without feeling the weight of it on your face. You sweat less, and the heat isn’t as intense - so a heavy moisturizer can absorb into the skin without discomfort.
However, when spring rolls around, your skin experiences more than a simple frost. As mentioned above, spring brings its own problems (like sweat and sun), so adding a thick moisturizer isn’t advised.
Using a light moisturizer can stop discomfort and ensure you don’t overload your skin. It’s important to find a moisturizer that absorbs fast and isn’t too intrusive on the skin - we would recommend our natural face moisturizer; a fast absorbing, natural moisturizer great for the spring/summer months.
Top Skincare Tip For Men: Combine the SPF of sunscreen with your moisturizer and invest in an SPF day cream.
Is It Good To Use A Man's Moisturizer With SPF?
SPF stands for ‘sun protection factor’ - it is an indicator of how protective a product is against sun damage.
Springtime isn’t as hot as summer. Chances are you won’t be feeling the burn of those mid-summer days. Yet, when the sun is shining, it’s still important to wear an SPF product to protect your skin.
In the spring, there are fewer clouds to filter the sun’s ultraviolet rays. That means you need to wear an SPF, even if it’s cold outside!
Overloading with products can be a big spring skincare issue, so invest in a light SPF moisturizer. That way, your skin gets the protection it needs without risking congestion and breakouts.
Is It Good For Men To Exfoliate?
Chances are, despite your best efforts, the winter chill has left your skin feeling dry. It’s understandable - cold weather puts a lot of pressure on your skin.
We’ve all heard of spring cleaning! It’s no different with your skin.
Use an exfoliator (like our natural face scrub) every 3-4 days to freshen up your face for spring!
WARNING: Do not over-exfoliate!
Although clearing dry skin is good practice, using an exfoliator daily can do more harm than good. Keep these spring skincare tips for men in mind, but also follow the instructions on your product to know how often you should use your exfoliator.
Are Antiperspirants Safe For Men?
It would be best if you were using anti-sweat products all year round. However, the strength of that product may change depending on the time of year.
Be careful - using unnatural antiperspirants can lead to clogged pores and skin issues. Choose a natural but strong deodorant for the spring that helps healthily fight sweat.
Chemicals can build up in the pores of your skin and cause some pretty nasty side effects from using off-the-shelf antiperspirants.
That’s why we advise you to do the research. Find products that prevent sweat without harming your body - like our aluminum free deodorant.
