Let's not beat around the bush. We care about how we look. While other's skin is looking so much better than ours, we are staring at acnes, wrinkles, blackheads and our shiny faces. However, sadly, most guys just have no single clue about where to begin. Skin care is the most efficient way to make yourself more attractive, make a good impression and get women's attention. At Clinelle, we want to help you master the basics of skin care, below are three fundamental skin care tips that you should know.

 

1. Every skin is different

Why are there tons of skin care products on the market? Isn't it all the same? In fact, they are not all the same, different products are produced to address different specific kind of skin issues. If you have oily skin, products that designed for dry skin would not work, or make your face even greasier. Most guys just do not understand their skin types, and turns out using the wrong products, and causing damage to their skin, worsen the skin condition. Hence, to get a well-groomed face, the first thing you need to do is identify your skin type.

Clean your face twice a day, once you wake up and before bed. Just because you do not see any dirt your skin does not mean it is not there. The cleansing face on morning removes excess sebum that built over a night while cleaning before jumping into bed help to get rid of impurities that stick on your face throughout a day. Remember to avoid washing your face using cleanser more than twice a day as it could dry out your face.
