Some gentle nudging may be needed to introduce this routine, but we have a feeling once they start with it it’s something they’ll adopt for all-year round.
Dove Men + Care technical expert, Katherine Frizoni reveals the science behind using a fuss-free summer skincare range to moisturise the skin during the hot season.
Top tips on your skincare routine for summer:
Wash – remove dirt and grease from the skin to keep pores unblocked so skin can breathe. Do this by washing your face daily, and to save time, keep your face wash in the shower and use as part of your regular morning routine.
Exfoliate – once a week use a deep scrub to exfoliate dead skin cells. Make sure to splash skin with cool water to help close pores afterwards.
Moisturise – once skin is dry apply a moisturiser to keep skin hydrated lock in moisture for the rest of the day.
Top tips on your shaving routine
Clean – Wash your face with warm water before shaving for best results as this opens the pores and softens skin and hairs without drying out.
Shave cream – Apply a shave cream to help further soften hairs and help prevent irritation for a close comfortable shave. Make sure you use a cream rather than a gel or foam, as creams contain more moisturising agents and provide a superior shave experience, reducing irritation to the skin as much as possible.
Rinse – After shaving, rinse off with cool water – this will close the skin pores.
Post shave balm – use a post-shave balm to round-off a good shave. Shaving every day or every other day exerts additional stress on the face, but if you use the rash aftershave care to smooth, soothe and protect, this can be counterbalanced.
