I often call men as beautiful instead of handsome when they are really, really handsome. A handsome man is one thing, but when I say a man is beautiful, it means he is an art piece. Down below is my example of a beautiful man. Lee Donghae from Super Junior, HEHE. (img source : pinterest)

First thing first, you have to know about your skin type. Is it dry, normal, oily, or combination (some parts are dry and some parts are oily)? There is several ways to test this out, but to make it simple, I would suggest for you to take a simple quiz here.

Now gentlemen, there is no such thing as a body soap that can be used as face cleanser. If you do, please stop. Body soaps are so drying, and even if you have an oily skin, it will contribute to even more oil production on your face. This is because when you use body soaps, the foam created will take away all the oil on your skin surface. You may feel clean for a little while, but dehydrated too. When this happens, your brain will notice this dehydration and send signals to tell your body to secrete more oil to moisturize your skin, hence, overproduction of oil. So, let's get to the basic steps for your beauty starter pack. And for your own good, I'll suggest only drugstore products.

1) Cleanser

The beauty industry have grown a lot that men now have more options to choose their skincare. That's good! But don't just choose what's cheap or what's trending on twitter. Try to really understand what the product offers, and for what skin type. If you have normal or dry skin, choose gentler cleanser like gel cleanser. Because, like I said, foaming cleansers may dry out your skin even more. For combination to oily skin, you guys can use foaming cleansers. Don't worry, face cleansers are not drying as much as body soaps. A lot of foaming face cleansers nowadays have moisturizing ingredients. Especially if you're an everyday motorcycle rider, foaming cleansers will help to clean dust and dirt much better. Use cleanser twice a day ; in the morning and at night.

2) Moisturizer

Finding the right moisturizer can be a little tricky, and may take a few trials and errors, especially if you're like me, a person with sensitive skin. For a start, choose a moisturizer that is simple. What I mean by simple is that it doesn't contain alcohol, fragrance or colorants that could be irritating for your skin. And if you can, find one that says SPF which means it will protect you from the sun. But if you can't, move on to the next step. Use moisturizer after cleanser, morning and night.


3) Sunscreen

This is not optional, you gotta have sunscreen. Boys, you guys play sports, ride motorbikes everyday without some SPF on? You'll damage your skin in the long run. Sunscreen is not used only to avoid skin tan and sunburn. The Sun is very damaging. Let me list some of the damages that it can do to your skin below.
