Simple skincare routine for active men

Simple skincare routine for active men

Navigating the world of skincare can be daunting, especially with all the noise about what products you really need. But don’t worry – keeping your skin healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. At Buff, we’ve simplified things to create an easy yet effective skincare routine that’s perfect for active men who want to keep their skin clean, smooth, and youthful. By following a consistent morning and evening routine, you can ensure your skin looks its best with minimal fuss.

Here’s what you need to get started: a simple yet essential regimen split between morning and evening. Follow these steps to cover all the bases and maintain healthy skin every day.

Morning Routine

Kick-start your day with a morning routine that not only cleanses but also protects your skin against daily stressors. Here are the four steps to get your skin looking and feeling its best.

1. Cleanse – Refresh Your Skin for the Day

Start by cleansing your face to remove any dirt, oil, and impurities that may have built up overnight. Our Deep Clean Foaming Facial Cleanser for Men is the perfect way to wake up your skin. It’s designed to tackle dirt, excess oil, and impurities with a powerful foaming action that lifts them away from deep within your pores, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalised.

Use it in the morning by applying a small amount to damp skin and massaging gently in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. This simple step ensures that your skin is clean and energised, ready for the rest of your routine.

2. Vitamin C Serum – Brighten and Hydrate

After cleansing, apply a few drops of our Men's Vitamin C Serum. This powerful serum is packed with antioxidants and hydrating hyaluronic acid to give your skin a boost of brightness while fighting off the signs of ageing. Vitamin C helps to even out your skin tone, diminish dark spots, and protect against environmental damage, keeping your complexion looking fresh and youthful.

To use, apply the serum to clean, dry skin, massaging gently in upward motions until fully absorbed. It’s quick and easy, but the benefits last all day.

3. Moisturise – Lock in Hydration

Hydration is key to maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Our Men's Daily Facial Moisturiser is formulated with multi-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid to deliver deep and lasting hydration, along with Bisabolol to soothe and calm the skin. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula ensures your skin feels soft and smooth without any greasy residue.

Apply the moisturiser to your face, gently massaging in upward motions. It’s suitable for normal to dry skin types, making it an essential step to keep your skin looking plump and dewy all day.

4. SPF – Protect Against Harmful UV Rays

The final step in your morning routine is applying our Men's SPF 30 Face and Body Cream. Even if you’re not spending the whole day outside, UV rays can still penetrate through windows and cause damage. Our SPF 30 cream offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, while also hydrating your skin to keep it soft and healthy.

Apply generously to your face and any other exposed skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours if you’re spending time outdoors. With this lightweight, non-greasy formula, you can protect your skin without the hassle.

Evening Routine

Your evening skincare routine is all about recovery and repair. This is the time to tackle any issues that have arisen during the day, whether it’s excess oil, breakouts, or signs of fatigue. Follow these steps to ensure your skin gets the care it needs overnight.

1. Cleanse – Wash Away the Day

Just as in the morning, start your evening routine by cleansing your face with our Deep Clean Foaming Facial Cleanser. It’s important to remove the day’s dirt, sweat, and impurities to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. The invigorating formula ensures your skin feels clean and refreshed, setting the stage for your night-time skincare routine.

2. LED Mask – Alternate Red and Blue Light

Give your skin an extra boost with LED light therapy four times a week. Red light will help you have a more youthful, brighter complexion whilst blue light will help with blemish control. This step is perfect for reducing inflammation and improving skin tone, giving you firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

3. Calming Eye Serum – Soothe and Hydrate the Eye Area

The skin around your eyes is delicate and often the first to show signs of fatigue. Our Calming Eye Serum, infused with 1% Cannabidiol, is designed to soothe and refresh the eye area. It helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles, ensuring your eyes look bright and well-rested.

Apply a small amount around your eyes and gently pat it in, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. This step is key for a refreshed look come morning.

4. Acne Spot Cream – Tackle Blemishes

If you’re prone to breakouts, our Men's Acne Spot Cream is a must-have for your evening routine. It’s formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid and 3% Tea Tree Oil to reduce redness and calm irritated skin. Apply it directly to any blemishes after cleansing, and let the anti-bacterial ingredients work overnight to promote clear, healthy-looking skin.

5. Moisturise – Replenish and Nourish

Finish your evening routine with our Men's Daily Facial Moisturiser. Night-time is when your skin repairs itself, so it’s essential to provide it with the hydration it needs to recover. The moisturiser’s deep hydrating formula locks in moisture, while the calming ingredients work to soothe your skin as you sleep, ensuring you wake up to a plump and rejuvenated complexion.
