Many men believe they do not need to wash their face daily or see a skin care specialist. However, without a proper skin care routine recommended by a trained specialist, men increase their risks of contracting skin cancer, fighting pimples, and dealing with premature wrinkles. Here is a better look at why men should take an interest in their daily skin care regimen:
Prevent Sun Damage
Sun damage can be a noticeable, and sometimes dangerous, consequence of not maintaining a skin care regimen. When men do not regularly apply sunscreen or a moisturizer with sunscreen, they risk developing sunburns, dark spots, and actinic keratosis. Actinic keratosis is a small, rough or scaly bump that can develop on sun-damaged skin. This bump, or a collection of bumps, can be an early sign of skin cancer. Applying facial sunscreen is important for men to reduce their risk of skin cancer later in life.
Reduce Wrinkles
Men may be just as concerned about signs of old age as their female counterparts. Wrinkles and fine lines are a result of lost collagen, which can occur for a number of reasons, such as increasing age and sun exposure. By taking care of the face, with appropriate cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen, men can reduce their current wrinkles and prevent future wrinkles from appearing. Reducing the appearance of wrinkles through proper skin care can prevent men from looking older than they are.
Limit Blemishes
Blemishes—such as pimples, blackheads, and acne scars—can affect everyone. Pimples and blackheads are caused by excessive oil and bacteria in the pores, and scars are caused by attempts to remove these painful bumps. Men should be using a skin-type-appropriate cleanser and moisturizer to prevent and limit the number of blemishes that occur on the face and body.
