AM and PM skincare products: What skincare routines really mean
For men who want to figure out this whole AM vs PM skincare products debate, let us share something with you: there’s no reason why you need to segregate based on time of day.
A solid skincare routine is not something that has to be super complicated and have a bunch of steps, so today we’re going to demystify the steps of how to take care of your skin in the morning vs night time.
Cleanse your skin first thing in the morning
Using our skinso cleanser is a great way to clear your face of all the dead skin cells and bacteria that built up over your face while you were sleeping. Doing this before the rest of your routine is key because as other skincare products get deep into your pores and shaving has the opportunity to give you cuts, you don’t want this bacteria being pushed further into your skin.
Shave or Beard Oil
Depending on how you tie your look together, you’ll either shave or maintain your beard. If you’re shaving go this route:
Open up the pores in your face
Splashing your face with some warm water or dabbing your face with a warm towel will make the hair stand up taller and make it easier to get a closer shaver.
Lather up the shaving cream
There are some electric razors out there promising you don’t need to put on shaving cream to shave, we wouldn’t suggest this because you’d be missing out on the benefits shaving cream can give you like extra protection and moisturization. Having shaving cream on makes it easier to be able to glide across the skin and prevents cuts from happening, you wouldn’t want any additional scarring, would you?
Not shaving?
Apply beard oil
Want to keep the burly lumberjack vibes going? Skip the shave and dab a few drops of beard oil and run it through your beard to soften the hair and make your beard hair not feel so brittle and dry.
After shaving or beard oil: Moisturize
Whether you shaved or opted for the beard oil, the next step is to hydrate your face with skinso smooth moisturizer. Adding this protective layer after a shave or beard oil will help lock in the moisture in your face, keeps your facial skin tone even (helps with dark spots) and there is some vitamin C in our formula that also helps with fine lines and signs of aging.
PM Skincare routine
Keep in mind that this isn’t the end all be all, as our product line can be used any time of day without any issues, we’re just outlining a routine that’s easy to follow!
Before bed have another go at the skinso clean cleanser
A cleanser is always the go to move prior to getting anything else started with your skincare routine, so after a day out on the town or at work, use your cleanser to remove any dead skin cells or bacteria that built up. Having a clean slate with your skin preps your face for the rest of the routine!
Young Eye Gel
Having trouble with dark circles under your eyes making you look tired 24/7? Fear not! Get your hands on our young eye gel to help get rid of bags under your eyes. When struggling with puffy eyes, our formula helps fight the gradual sag the skin under your eyes are dealing with.
Apply a light pea size amount of the gel under each eye and rub it in until it dissolves. Now you’re ready to move on to your next step.
Moisturizer
Just as the skinso cleanser is the beginning of your ritual, the moisturizer is the way to end any skincare routine. Lather up and rub your face down with the skinso moisturizer to get your skin nice and hydrated before bed time.
Get some good rest, you did good today!
To conclude this simple skincare routine is short, sweet, and easy to follow. You can always go all out on the routine and purchase one of our skincare bundles if you’re ready to take it to the next level. But you don’t need to worry about using the eye gel only at night for instance, our whole product line is completely fine to use any time of day so don’t feel like you need to reinvent the wheel making a solid skincare routine.
