Men’s Skincare 101: A Simple Routine That Actually Works
Let’s be honest—most guys want great skin, but not a 10-step routine. The good news? You don’t need one. Whether you're dealing with breakouts, razor bumps, or just want to look a little more refreshed, a few consistent steps can make a noticeable difference. At Skinfatuation, I work with men who are brand-new to skincare as well as those looking to level up their routine—and this is the no-fuss plan I recommend.
Step 1: Cleanse
You don’t need anything fancy, but cleansing is non-negotiable. It clears away oil, sweat, and pollution that build up during the day. For men who really want to keep it simple, skip the cleanse step in the AM—but never skip it in the PM.
🪼 Try: Skinbetter Refining Foam Cleanser
A gentle exfoliating cleanser that deep cleans without stripping your skin. It feels like washing your face with a cloud—seriously.
Step 2: Mist or Tone
Optional, but a good mist helps calm inflammation and sets your skin up for better product absorption.
💨 Try: Hydrinity Hyacyn Active Mist
It’s antimicrobial, great post-shave, and helps calm redness or irritation. Bonus: it’s acne-safe, barrier-friendly, and can double as a gentle cleanse in the AM if you’re skipping the traditional cleanser step.
Step 3: Hydrate
Moisturizer isn’t just for dry skin—it keeps your barrier healthy and helps prevent oil overproduction.
💧 Try:
Skinbetter Hydration Boosting Cream – Light, non-greasy hydration
Skinbetter Trio Rebalancing Moisturizer – For dry, tight, or irritated skin
Luminsque Defend HA Serum – Lightweight, refreshing hydration
Clearstem Hydraberry Moisturizer – Acne-safe and nourishing
Glymed Oxygen Cream – Boosts oxygenation and moisture
Glymed Vitamin C Cream – Brightens and supports overall skin health
Step 4: Protect
If you only do one thing—wear SPF. Every. Day. It’s the best anti-aging product, full stop.
☀️ Pro Tip: Choose a lightweight mineral SPF that won’t feel sticky or clog pores. Not sure which? Ask me—I’ve got acne-safe favorites that are easy to wear daily.
Bonus: Targeted Treatments
Got acne? Fine lines? Uneven texture? A few well-chosen multitaskers can make a huge impact with very little effort.
✨ Try:
Skinbetter Alpharet Clearing Serum – Gentle retinoid for breakouts, uneven tone, and fine lines
Glymed Fulvic Elixir – Calms inflammation and redness
Clearstem Goldenhour Facial Oil – Lightweight, non-greasy hydration (great post-shave or post-exfoliation)
Skinbetter Solo Hydrating Defense Men- Created with men’s skin in mind. Ideal for daily use post-shave, post-gym, or post-life. Just one product for healthier, more balanced skin.
The Bottom Line
You don’t need a complicated routine to get great results—just a few solid products and a little consistency. Skincare is self-care, and it’s one of the easiest ways to look (and feel) more confident.
