Daily Skin Care Routine for Men

Consistency is key. With just a few daily steps, you can protect your skin from damage, improve hydration, and slow visible signs of aging. Here’s what every man’s skincare routine should include:

1. Wash Your Face Daily (and After Exercise)

Skip the bar soap. Many popular soaps contain harsh ingredients that dry out your skin. Instead, use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.

Avoid → Dial and Lever 2000
Try → CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser or SkinCeuticals Simply Clean

2. Moisturize Every Day

Dry air (hello, Colorado climate) and aging both cause moisture loss, leading to dull, flaky skin and more noticeable wrinkles. Apply moisturizer within 5 minutes of washing your face, showering, or shaving to lock in hydration.

Try → CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizer and EltaMD PM Restore

3. Use Sunscreen—Every Morning

Denver is one of the sunniest cities in the U.S., and daily sun exposure adds up. Prevent sun damage, fine lines, and skin cancer by using a daily SPF of 30 or higher. Many lightweight options feel more like a regular moisturizer than sunscreen.

Try → CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 or EltaMD UV Clear

4. Add Anti-Aging Power at Night

Retinol or prescription Tretinoin helps reduce wrinkles and boosts skin cell turnover. Start slow and use at night for best results.

Try → Alastin Renewal Retinol 0.5%
