Level Up Your Man's Skincare Game Today
Taking care of one’s beauty is just as important as other aspects of our general well-being. Beauty care for men is important and should be practised to combat common issues like dry skin, acne, wrinkles, even sun damage. Doing so can help your man maintain a youthful appearance and prevent premature ageing while boosting self-esteem and confidence.
Here are 5 effective tips to help your man feel more comfortable and confident in using beauty products.
1. Keep it simple
Men typically do not know as much about beauty. There is so much available that getting into it can be quite daunting. So start with the basics by introducing simple and essential products, such as cleansers, moisturizer, or sunscreens. These 3 products form a basic skincare routine that is absolutely non-negotiable for anyone as regularly cleansing, moisturizing and using protection against harmful UV rays can go a long way in promoting a healthy complexion.
Simplify the process by introducing them to easy-to-use or multifunctional products. All-in-one products such as Ph. Hubby suncream (PA++++, SPF 50) are more easily adopted by men. Ph. Hubby suncream is a sunscreen that can protect and moisturise. Made with 65% skin care ingredients to hydrate, firm, and brighten your skin, this light sunscreen suitable for those with oily skin, which is perfect for men, and leaves the skin feeling velvety smooth. It is a great multifunctional product that not only protects the skin against the sun, but also brightens the skin and has anti-aging properties.
2. Focus on the practical benefits
Men are often drawn to practicality and functionality, so emphasize the practical benefits of beauty products. For example, explain how a good skincare routine can help prevent skin issues like dryness, acne, or signs of ageing.
Most men are rational creatures, so highlight problems he might have such as flaky skin, enlarged pores, acne, deep wrinkles. Share why these are problems so that he is more aware of them and provide simple solutions to fix them. Feel free to also explain the science behind the solution you recommend by pointing out main ingredients in the products and how they solve the issue. Doing so will help him become more aware of the issues he may have and motivate him to continue working on them once he notices improvements.
3. Communicate Openly with him
He might avoid beauty products as he is skeptical about their benefits. Knowledge and understanding can help alleviate these uncertainties. Initiate an open conversation about why you believe beauty products can be beneficial for him. Address reservations he may have and listen to his thoughts to create a non-judgmental space for discussion. Share your own positive experiences and emphasize the practical benefits, such as healthier skin, improved grooming, and increased confidence.
Most men do not know as much about beauty products, so it is important to be patient and take time to explain about how the products help and work. You can also
provide educational resources such as informative articles, videos or tutorials that explain the purpose and benefits of various beauty products. Men may feel more confident and motivated to use beauty products when they have a clear understanding of how and why they should incorporate them into their routines.
4. Tailor products to his preferences
If he has cracking lips and does not apply lip balm because it is sticky and uncomfortable, try Whamisa Organic Fruits Multi-Balm that has mint in it for a refreshing cooling effect. Tailoring products to his preferences can help him feel more comfortable to try using beauty products. Understand his preferences and find solutions that better cater to them. For example, many men dislike applying moisturizers on their faces because they dislike how it feels on their face. In this case, an edible beauty product like the SSUNSU Beauty+ Red Ginseng Jelly that contains hyaluronic acid and collagen to deeply hydrate the skin might be a more suitable alternative instead. With recent trends in the use of edible beauty products, more alternatives are available for men who dislike applying products on their faces.
Encourage your partner to try different products to find what works best for him and offer suggestions based on his concerns or preferences. Support his exploration and acknowledge that it may take time to find the right products and routines.
5. Share products together
Make it a shared experience to help ease him into the habit of making beauty care a part of his routine. You can do this by incorporating beauty routines into your quality time together as a bonding activity. Use a multi-functional face mask like the Dr.Gloderm Lift-up Facial Mask together, try new products with each other or have a "spa night" where you both focus on self-care. You could even purchase off the shelf beauty kits like the SSUNSU Skin Brightening Kit and use it together as a fun activity. This can create a positive and enjoyable association with using beauty products, making it more likely for him to incorporate them into his routine willingly. As time goes and he becomes more comfortable with using beauty products regularly, you may even consider sharing products as well.
Conclusion
In summary, encouraging your man to use beauty products requires patience, open communication, and understanding. By keeping it simple, highlighting practical benefits, having honest conversations, offering tailored products and engaging in a shared experience, we can create an environment where men feel more motivated to embrace self-care and beauty routines. Everyone's journey is unique, and the key is to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment that allows him to explore and find what works best for him as the process of adopting beauty products may differ for each individual. The goal is to foster an environment that encourages self-care and empowers him to make choices that contribute to his overall well-being.
