Yes yes, we know that you are a man, and that you have been stereotyped to look rough. But you do not have to give in to that thinking if you don’t want to. It is absolutely ok to take care of yourself. After all, skin care is self-care is self-love. If you want a low maintenance routine, scratch that, if you don’t want a routine at all, but you want to show your skin and hair some love, we’ve got you.
1. Start with a Sunscreen
If you do absolutely nothing else for your skin, do this. Instead of putting bizigo on your face, put sunscreen, particularly if you are going to be spending a day in the sun.
Here is what sunscreen does for you: it helps to prevent skin cancer, it prevents premature aging of your skin, it helps to prevent discolouration aided by the sun (look at your tummy and then look at your face. Different colours, right?). We’ve got a number of options for sunscreen but let’s focus on these: The PROTECT AND REFINE MOISTURIZER, THE PROTECT AND RENEW MOISTURIZER, The MD SENSITIVE SKIN MINERAL SUNSCREEN.
The Protect and Refine moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 will protect your skin, help to heal and soothe it and works well for all skin types.
The Protect and Renew moisturizer with Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50 will protect your skin, has antioxidant properties and help with hyperpigmentation.
Both are fragrance free and oil free.
The MD Sensitive Skin Mineral sunscreen
We hear you. You don’t want to renew or refine, you just want sunscreen. This is the one for you, particularly if you have sensitive skin. A little goes a long way so you do not need to use much of this mineral sunscreen. Be sure to rub it in well to avoid that pale look that occurs in some people when they use mineral sunscreens.

3. Your hair
Baldness is more common in men than in women so if you are particularly attached to your coils, there is a way to hold on to them.
The Roots Hair Growth Serum
The anti-hair loss serum stimulates hair growth AND slows down hair loss. It reduces dandruff and helps you to achieve thicker fuller hair. In addition, it will prevent damage to your hair and help to thicken it!
The Roots Hair Growth Shampoo
If you are looking to grow your hair, maintain its length and health, keep your scalp moisturized and remain dandruff free then it’s time to pick up this shampoo. Massage it and leave it in the hair for at least 2 minutes before rinsing. Keep using for 4 months to see results.
4. Cracked Heels
Now men, those dry, crackling, ashy soles are not something that you should be walking around with. Don’t be that guy who always has closed shoes on. The one who keeps his socks on at all costs. Moisturize and soften your cracked heels with the MD cracked skin softening cream.
It works on scaly feet, elbows, knees, and hands too.
