Hello all, I know last week I promised a skin care routine but I realized before that I needed to clarify skin types. What is my skin type and why does it matter? For most men it's oily but not always. It matters because there are many different types of men's skin care products that cater to different needs and skin types and if you don't use the right one you may do your skin harm.
Normal skin: not too oily and not too dry; hardly ever gets breakouts; even skin tone
**You are lucky and can use any grooming product you like.
Oily skin: thicker and less sensitive skin; large pores; get lots of acne; dull skin tone
**This is most men, use an alcohol-free facial cleanser and an oil-free facial-moisturizer. Also, use a shave gel instead of a shaving cream because it's made especially for oily skin. Most importantly, use a high quality prescription strength acne treatment for those breakouts.
Dry skin: tight skin; small pores; never get acne; more visible fine line (especially around eye area)
**You should use very gentle products and always use a SPF facial moisturizer when going outside. Hydrate yourself and moisturize often!
Combination skin: T-zone is oily but rest of face is dry
**Use oily skin care products on t-zone and only moisturize your dry areas.
Sensitive skin: red flaky skin; bad reactions to many products; itchy, burning face
**Use alcohol-free products, SPF moisturizer, and shaving gel. Do not use soap.

Shea Butter is extremely beneficial to our skin, hair, fingernails, and many other things. While a lot of people are familiar with the healing benefits of unrefined Shea Butter, a lot of people mistakenly think that it’s something that is just for women. That is most definitely not true. It doesn’t discriminate. It loves men too!
Shea Butter is especially great for shaving. On sensitive facial skin, using it for shaving is a wonder lotion. It allows the razor to glide smoothly across the facial skin and still allows for a close shave. It also helps prevent razor burn and those little red bumps that shaving can often leave behind. While it is helping men shave, it is also benefiting their skin through some amazing healing properties. Start by using your normal warm water to open your pores and soften the hairs on your face. Then, smooth a generous amount of it on your face. Shave the way you usually shave, and rinse. Use a towel to wipe away the excess Shea Butter. You will notice smoother, softer skin, and easier shaving.
See, guys. Shea Butter isn’t just a girly product. It has serious benefits that even the most manly man can appreciate!
