To remove dead cells and smoothen the surface of face, gentle scrub is necessary. Rough scrubs may cause tear and damage to the skin.

After cleaning and shaving, moisturizer with minimal chemical contents should be used on face and neck.

For intensive moisture treatment, use of pure vitamin E or aloe-vera oil is advisable. Skin below the eyes should also be taken care of.

Toning: Free radicals adversely effect skin's health – particularly of men who spend more time out of home. Here toning comes in handy and makes great contribution in keeping the skin clear and firm. Toning is a great skin care tip.

With time, maintenance of elasticity by the skin itself becomes harder. Astringents and toners with glycolic or alpha hydroxy acids (barring photosensitive ones) are advisable.

Treating the skin: All the three types of skin – oily, dry and combination – can be during different seasons with appropriate skin-aid products. It is very important to take a skin care tip only from a professional as the results of the treatments vary.

Removal of dead skin cells – known as exfoliation – is essential and should be done regularly.

Post shave, moisturizing is necessary. Moisturizers with heavy fragrance may cause irritation to the skin, thus should be avoided.

Excessive shine will make the skin appear greasy. Excessive oil should be removed using blotting papers/gentle powder for natural look.

A balm with SPF of at least 15 or peppermint oil keeps the skin looking moisty.

Protection of skin: To keep the skin at its best for a longer period the following will come handy:

Over-exposure to the Sun can cause brown spots i.e. hyper pigmentation, which may thereafter lead to serious skin disease. This also thickens fine lines and makes them apparent. Use of an SPF 15 or higher on all exposed skin, especially on face, is advisable.

Exercise is essential for youthful skin as it decreases premature aging by increasing oxygen to the tissues. Including this, one should have a healthy diet with ample quantity of vitamins C and E, which aid to health of skin.

Excessive alcohol, smoking, fatigue and stress – which lead to premature aging and decrease facial circulation - must be avoided.
