I hate to admit this, but I have never been good at taking care of my skin, so naturally I was excited to partner with Neutrogena Men. Growing up, I was one of the lucky few who avoided getting pimples while going through puberty. And because of this, I never really learned how to properly take care of my skin, until years later when I began to develop smile lines and my facial complexion started looking dull.

As I got older these new changes in my face started weighing on my confidence. I decided it was time to start searching for tips on how to rejuvenate my skin. The two most common pieces of advice I found when researching men’s skincare was exfoliation and hydration. These two tips have single-handedly helped me gain my confidence back.

Exfoliating for Men

Exfoliating your skin is key to looking your best. Think of it as scrubbing away the dull, dead skin to reveal the glowing, fresh skin below.

Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Face Scrub makes skin less sensitive to shaving and prevents razor irritation, while also conditioning and softening facial hair to guarantee you a close, clean shave. Even though its made for daily use, I recommend using this at least two to three times a week. This works best if used in tandem with a daily face wash.

Hydrating Your Face

Scrubbing off your dead skin and giving your face a deep clean isn’t enough, you need to hydrate. In between using your face scrub, Neutrogena Men Invigorating Face Wash is a refreshing cooling lather that cleans your dirty pores without over-drying. It removes excess oil and dirt to give your skin a healthy glow. After my face is clean and refreshed, I like to put on Neutrogena Men Triple Protect Face Lotion before heading out for the day. Neutrogena’s formula includes SPF 20 sunscreen to help battle signs of aging and further protecting your skin. It also works to soothe razor irritation and heal any dry skin you might have.

After using these products for a little over a week I started to notice my skin looking a lot more healthy and refreshed. It’s amazing what a little tender loving care can do.
