Men's skin is much different from women's. In thickness alone, men's skin is thicker of about 25 percent. Their skin also has a higher amount of collagen. It is also rougher and tougher due to its thick stratum corneum, and have thicker and more hair, as enumerated by HL Labs.
Due to its huge difference, it is understandable why skincare for men should be made differently. Their skin has its own needs and composition, which can only be satisfied by the one that is made specifically just for them.
Unfortunately, the number of products to choose that are made available for men is not as much as the ones produced for women. Oftentimes, it could be really difficult to find the perfect one. But don't fret. If you can't find the specific product for you, why not create one instead?
If you are one of those men looking for homemade skincare remedies perfect for your skin, then read on. Here are some of the tips you should consider that is sure could help you keep your skin healthy and nourished.
AVOCADO OIL, HONEY, ALMONDS (OR ROLLED OATS), AND GLYCERINE WHIP AS LOTION
Your hardworking hands need an equally effective lotion to bring back its moisture. To create a top-notch natural lotion, you will have to mix about 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, 2 teaspoons glycerine, and 1 tablespoon honey. Once fully incorporated, add 150g of finely ground almond or rolled oats (depending on your preference or availability). Mix these ingredients until you're already satisfied with the consistency.
To apply the mixture, make sure your hands are well-cleaned first. Put a generous amount of lotion on it. After applying, cover your hands with rubber or cotton gloves and keep it that way until the next morning. Rinse.
EGG YOLK, MILK, ALOE VERA, AND HONEY FACE MASK
Facials are very important in fighting the signs of aging and acne, as revealed by Dermla. But you don't need to go to a salon for one. You only have to create your natural moisturizing mask at home using one egg yolk, powdered milk (amount depends on your desired consistency), and one teaspoon of aloe gel and honey.
To prepare the mask, start by beating the yolk with aloe and honey with a spoon. After mixing the ingredients, gradually add the milk until you've reached your desired texture.
To apply, wash your face first. Then, using your fingers, spread the mixture unto your face from hairline to your chin. Just like what you do with your mask, make sure not to put it on the area around the eyes. Leave it on for a maximum of 30 minutes. Rinse off with water.
