17 Men Who Really, Really Care About Their Skincare Routines

Skincare! It’s a thing we love, invest in, and like to talk (and argue) about—of course I want to know what you slather on your face every night that makes you glow like Beyoncé the next day. And while most of the people we hear from when it comes to beauty are women, dudes have a lot to say too.

We asked a bunch of guys about their routines. At first responses came in whispers, then in waves. Suddenly, men were divulging face mask schedules, extensive multi-step nighttime routines, exciting product discoveries, and elaborate beard care. It’s as if they had been waiting all along to discuss their lovingly curated rituals at length.

I started getting into skincare at a young age because I had acne. I’m not afraid to admit that I had bad skin. It taught me a lot about myself and helped me recognize other qualities I had, but it also introduced me to a new skin care routine that I stick to today.

I tried anything and everything to fix my skin when I was younger. One day, I decided that all of the chemicals and medications weren’t doing me any good. I went cold turkey on acne medication and face washes. I honestly just started washing my face with warm water and added a very simple face lotion. Maybe I was growing out of my acne from a hormonal standpoint, but I also felt like I wasn’t treating my skin like it was a dirty car that needed to be waxed and polished daily. That really helped.

As my 20’s roared on, I started shaving every other day for exfoliation, and still maintained my simple routine of applying face lotion (I use Men’s Vaseline Extra Strength) post-shave or a warm water wash every morning. As my 30s approached, I introduced eye cream (Naturopathica Vitamin K Brightening Eye Serum) which I use for the dark circles and wrinkles (my wife tells me they’re called crow’s feet).
