• #1 – Clean your face! It’s a simple yet woefully neglected aspect of personal hygiene: washing your face. Ideally, men should wash their face twice every day using a gentle facial cleanser. Facial cleansers do contain different ingredients than body wash or hand wash, so guys, don’t make the mistake of washing your face with hand soap twice each day. You’ll dry out your skin and end up with more problems than you had before. Choose a generic facial cleanser; if you struggle with acne, find a cleanser with salicylic acid as an active ingredient. Be sure to test the cleanser out on a small portion of your skin to make sure it doesn’t dry out your skin too much.
• #2 – Moisturize! Another simple but essential step. What most guys don’t realize is that while regularly washing your face removes pore clogging dirt, it also strips your face of some of its essential oils, which can cause excessive dryness if washing isn’t followed by moisturizing.
