Everything a Man Needs: The Optimal Skincare Routine for Men
Men's skin differs biologically measurably from women's skin. It is significantly thicker, contains more collagen, and produces about twice as much sebum. This tends to make it oilier and more porous, but also more resilient. At the same time, men's skin is exposed to constant mechanical stress due to daily shaving. Micro-irritations, redness, and feelings of tightness are common consequences of this.
As men age, collagen production decreases more slowly than in women – in whom a significant drop occurs particularly around the time of menopause. However, men's skin also shows visible signs of ageing over time.
Therefore, the rule is: to look radiant and fresh for as long as possible, men's skin needs care – the right kind of care.
The three most common mistakes in men's grooming
Many reach for a cream after showering that is actually intended for the whole body, or skip facial care altogether. This can have negative effects in the long run. Fundamentally, three steps are crucial to ensure men's skin is well cared for permanently:
This is exactly where our lavera Men sensitive line comes in.
Your optimal men's care routine
Shower with the Men sensitive 3in1 shower gel
Men's skin quickly loses moisture when showering – especially with hot water and harsh cleansers. The lavera Men sensitive 3in1 shower gel cleanses body, face, and hair in one step: thoroughly yet gently. The formula is specially tailored to the needs of sensitive men's skin – with natural ingredients like organic aloe vera and organic bamboo, which support the skin barrier instead of weakening it.
Tip: Shower lukewarm instead of hot – this noticeably protects the skin barrier.
Deodorant – reliable and skin-friendly
Men often sweat more than women. This is physiologically caused, among other things, by a higher testosterone level. The lavera Men sensitive Deo Roll-on offers reliable protection against unpleasant odours without stressing the skin. Free from aluminum salts and synthetic fragrances. Also ideal for sensitive or shaved skin under the arms.
Moisturizing care – the crucial finishing touch
This is where the most common mistake is made: Many men skip applying a face cream. However, it is so important to hydrate and soothe stressed men's skin. The lavera Men sensitive Moisturizing Cream provides targeted moisture, soothes after shaving, and strengthens the natural protective barrier. The light texture absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy feeling, and fits perfectly into any morning routine. With regular use, feelings of tightness and itching can also be reduced.
Tip: The Men sensitive Moisturizing Cream can also be used after shaving for an extra freshness and moisture boost.
