Things that ruin your skin

2. Things that Ruin Your Skin • Skin is the protective barrier of your body, so you must take care of it. • Many factors like sun damage, pollution, smoking, laundry detergent, and not using the right skincare products affect your skin. • Your skin not just get affected by external factors – internal factors also play a role. Thus, you need to ensure optimum skin protection and stick to a good routine. • Check out the upcoming slides to know what things ruin your skin!

3. Overdoing Everything • Many men feel that they need to remove each drop of natural oil from their skin. So they wash and scrub their skin with harsh facial cleansers and exfoliators. • A common mistake they make is they over wash their face and scrub too hard. • When you overdo in your skincare, the skin gets dry, infectious, flaky, get wrinkles, show signs of ageing and more.

4. Using a Soap on the Face • One of the biggest errors men make while washing their faces is using body soap instead of face wash. • Soaps are alkaline, having harsh chemical ingredients that can be too strong for your facial skin. • You must use a mild face wash for men that is natural and non-irritating. • For men with sensitive skin, our oil-free volcanic face wash is a perfect choice. Our face wash gently cleanses the skin, removes excess oil & dead skin cells, fights acne and more. 

5. Smoking • We all know smoking is harmful to the body and can lead to severe diseases like lung cancer, stroke, heart disease etc. • However, smoking does not just harm your body; it damages your skin too. • Smoking reduces blood flow and leads to wrinkles, especially around the nose and mouth. • Except that smoking stimulates premature ageing, slows the wound healing process and raises the chance of psoriasis. Avoid smoking to ensure your entire well-being. 

6. Skipping the Sunscreen • Stepping out without applying sunscreen is quite a common mistake that men make. Not wearing sunscreen is simply non-negotiable since that leads to exposure to UV rays. • The damage caused by UV rays reflect signs of ageing, wrinkles, sunburn, inflammation, risk of cancer etc. • You must include sunscreen in your skincare routine to avoid all these skin problems. • You can also use a moisturizer that protects from sun damage - like our - face cream for men. 

7. Stressing Out Too Much • Stress can ruin your skin because it makes your skin more vulnerable and responsive to external factors. • Stress can cause more break out and elevate existing skin conditions if there are any. • When you feel stressed, make sure you take a little extra care of your skin and engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, sleeping, healthy eating, painting, exercise and more.  

8. Using Skin-irritating Products • Not every skin product suits your skin type. • You will have to find out the skincare products that ensure healthy skin. • When you try a new product, it can lead to reactions and breakouts, which is actually stripping out natural oils from the skin and causing allergies. • Stop using skin products that cause irritation and switch to natural and safe skincare products. • The Men's Lab grooming products are made using natural ingredients and are paraben & SLS free, so most gentle for your skin. 

9. Popping Pimples • Even though it's tough to resist popping a pimple, please don't do it. • Picking, popping and pressing acne can worsen it and lead to scarring. • If you have acne-prone skin, ensure applying our clay face mask once a week to fight acne, unclog pores, oxygenate cells and detoxify the skin. • You can also consider taking over-the-counter medicines for acne, as suggested by your dermatologist.
