So the last few weeks I have been increasing my knowledge of
you guys and what type of stuff you read, so yes I throw my hands up and admit,
I have read articles from Men’s Health as well as some other ‘manly’ articles
and journals. As mentioned at the end of
the last blog for you guys, this blog is all about different skin types and
what moisturisers would be best – being a woman I haven’t ‘tried & tested’
these products personally, however after asking certain friends and family I
have gained a better taste for them, so
here goes.
The first thing you are probably thinking is why do I need
to moisturise? Not only can they help to prevent dry skin they also help to
reduce premature ageing through hydrating and keeping the skin supple. And now
you’re probably thinking, how do they do that? Moisturisers work in two ways
hydrating and locking in moisture; however the effects only seem to usually
last for 6-8 hours which is why it is important to moisturise twice a day as
mentioned in my previous blog. (If you haven’t caught my post on men’s skincare you can catch up here)
Acne/Oily
- usually has a ‘shine’ to the surface of the skin, large open pores, blemishes and outbreaks.
Clarins – Ultra-matte Rebalancing Lotion- usually has a ‘shine’ to the surface of the skin, large open pores, blemishes and outbreaks.
- A lightweight moisturiser with purifying and rebalancing properties, tightening pores and reducing sebum production. This moisturiser not only helps reduce the oil production but has a mattifying finish too!
Lab Series – Treat Daily Moisture Defense Lotion
- A very lightweight, quick absorbing moisturiser with a high content of antioxidants to reduce bacteria levels within the skin’s surface.
Combination
- tends to have an oily T-zone (chin, nose, and forehead) and dry/normal skin on the cheeks and neck.
Bulldog – Original Moisturiser
- This is a natural moisturiser containing 8 essential oils – three of which help to detoxifying, purify and tighten the pores whilst the others have high hydrating and nourishing properties.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar – H Soothing Compensation Moisturiser- This is a natural moisturiser containing 8 essential oils – three of which help to detoxifying, purify and tighten the pores whilst the others have high hydrating and nourishing properties.
- Helps to rebalance the skin and soothe any irritation that may have been caused to blemish creams or strong astringent properties in other products – this cream is a great pick me up to the skin.
Dry/Sensitive
- usually has a ‘flaky’ or rough surface to the skin, tight pores and small pimples under the surface.
Polaar – Moisturising Face Cream- usually has a ‘flaky’ or rough surface to the skin, tight pores and small pimples under the surface.
- This ultra-rich, long lasting cream helps to repair damaged skin, soothing any irritations and providing rapid relief.
Clinique – SPF21 Moisturiser
- This has recently been awarded “Best Moisturiser for Men’s Health Grooming Awards” not only does it have the added benefit of a high spf protecting your skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays, it has a high moisturising content too.
If you’re still unsure to what skin type you may be there
are many salons, and department stores that will have a consultant more than
happy to help you. It is more than normal for your skin type to change
throughout the year depending on the seasons, environment and even products
that you are using and that’s why it’s important to use a specific product that
has been formulated for a skin type.- This has recently been awarded “Best Moisturiser for Men’s Health Grooming Awards” not only does it have the added benefit of a high spf protecting your skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays, it has a high moisturising content too.
If you have any questions regarding any of the products
mentioned or want any information on a product, I am more than happy to help or
to point you in the right direction J
How did you find this
blog? What could I improve? Is there anything in particular you would like to
know about or have any questions on?
Great post - I will definitely be looking into a few of your suggestions! I recently discovered a great moisturizer for oily/combo skin, and what's funny is that it is sold in a line of products for men, but it feels so good on my skin, and it help keep oil at bay while really hydrating - I don't even care if it's targeted to men vs. women. It's the Baxter of California oil free moisturizer, and I highly recommend it!
