LESS IS MORE

When it comes to skincare, men have always kept it simple or nothing for their skin. This is mostly because traditionally men don’t feel the need of pursuing healthier skin or evaluate any skincare routine for younger-looking skin. But times have changed, and the thought process of gender is changing. They have embraced the idea of self-care and want to appear healthy and good.

It is important to note that everyone, including men, needs to identify a simple and effective skincare routine to keep healthy skin. Fortunately, there is an easy solution for men with dry skin to tackle the early signs of aging. GO LESS curates a simple, yet effective men’s skincare routine in 2 easy steps.

Read below and discover the easiest and ultimate skin routine for men.

Step 1: Use a Gentle Cleanser

When it comes to cleansing men feel that the cleansers or face wash needs to be foamy with scrub ingredients to get that dirt-free cleansed feeling. This is however untrue. Some cleansers in the market, especially those formulated for oily and acne-prone skin strip away the natural lipids from the skin’s natural moisture barrier leaving the skin tight, uncomfortable, and dry. It is critical to choose a cleanser that is SLS and paraben free so that the natural oil of the skin is retained.

We recommend Go less cleansing powder which is a natural face wash formulated with Rhossuol clay gives your skin a gentle, lightly-forming formula to help dissolve dirt, sweat, and other debris without overdrying the skin and further maintain the pH balance for skin hydration.

To use it, dampen your skin and dispense a sufficient amount of the powder. Add water to activate the powder and turn it into mild foam, then massage over your face, rinse thoroughly, and then pat your skin with a clean washcloth or towel.

Go less tip: Instead of hot water which increases dryness – use lukewarm or cold water to rinse your face.

Step 2: Use a Vitamin C Toner

After cleansing, it is important to hydrate the skin with ingredients that reduce skin aging and gives moisturization without any stickiness throughout the day. A vitamin C toner formula helps balance and refresh skin while reducing the signs of fatigue. A toner spray is a perfect application after cleansing or shaving to leave skin feeling soothed, hydrated and comfortable.

For men, we recommend Go less super facial toner, which contains grapefruit hydrosol and vitamin c. This mild toner not only removes the cleanser residue but also helps prepare your skin to remain oil-free the entire day.

To use it, just spray it 2-3 times over your face and then pat it so that the solution gets absorbed in the skin after cleansing or shaving.

The uniquely hydrating 2-step routine helps replenish and strengthen men’s skin in the most natural way without taking away the natural skin’s moisture to help the skin increase its stability and prevent excess oil generation or over-drying. It helps improve the appearance of dry skin, making men’s skin look smoother, healthier, and younger.

 

Three unknown reasons that are silently aging your skin.

Lack of use of organic or plant based skincare: In literal sense, we all know ‘you are what you eat’. The same applies to your choice of skincare consumption too. When organic and plant-based skincare is consumed by your body, the rich and original properties of plants and herbs organically frame your skin with a nutrition rich layer which are primarily great for the longevity of the skin. The ingredients of vegan skincare products are rich with natural vitamins and antioxidants that make them effective in treating skin issues.

Most of the premium, conventional and medicinal skincare are mainly filled with chemicals, or made out of genetically modified materials, animal by-products or by harming the environment. Skincare made this way usually leave a synthetic residue of chemicals over the skin. Even though they give results overnight, but has the condition to recur after sometime, causing increased sensitivity, reactions, irritation or acne on the skin.  This is not in the case of plant-based products, though the results are slow and gradual, they are long-lasting, hence perfect to battle the skin aging.

It is always best to change your skincare products from chemicals to plant-based, only when you know it is better way of life.

Too much use of active products: Most of the skincare products in the markets includes heavy use of active ingredients (ingredients that promises to resolve the particular skincare issues) which are mostly pharmaceutical drug or pesticides that are biologically active. They are mostly present in medicinal and premium skincare, promising the fast and effective solutions to your skin woes. The problem arises when too much of highly concentrated ingredients or using too many products at the same time causes irritation, dryness, redness and potential chemical burn. All these further contribute to damaging the natural elasticity of the skin, thus making skin age rapidly.

Too many products means too many active ingredients through product-layer steps, leading to excess of active ingredients on the skin. Hence, ‘it’s not a matter how you are resolving the skin issue, it matters what you are using to resolve.

Buying products on advice of non-experts: Instead of taking time out and paying attention to your skin and its problems, many unconsciously follow the popularity vote and opt for products that is advised by industry leaders, beauty influencers and sometimes also innocently advised by family and friends. But this is not always the best route, because every person’s skin is different and there is no one-size-fits all skincare solution. What had worked for your sister or best friend may not work for you. Both ingredients and moisturizing agents of anti-aging lotions, creams differs for particular skin type. While glycerin, aloe Vera or ceramides may worked for your friend but doesn’t guarantees the same for you. An individualized approach with help of an expert of the field is crucial to find skin products as per your age, lifestyle and need of long care of the skin.

Cutting on the guess work and following a skincare that is skin specific is the correct way to retain the youthfulness of the skin.
