Anti-aging all natural skincare for men (and women)

I love that today men are asking more questions about what products they should be using, and are much more receptive to exfoliating, moisturizing and using an eye cream.

When it comes to skincare both my husband and I feel very strongly that what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in them.  That said we always seek out powerful, naturally derived ingredients that deliver real results. We found that in Oars & Alps , no harmful additives, no harsh chemicals. Plus the price points can be beat and more importantly, they are effective.

I wanted to share the skincare line both my husband and I have been loving, Oars & Alps , as well as  some advice from skincare experts when it comes to the most common mistakes men make with skincare.

So now onto the basics of what men need in their routine and how to keep it simple, uncomplicated and effective….

Cleansing

Men often think that they don’t need to wash their face. But cleansing is the most important part of any skincare routine. Especially for active men it’s important to remove all of the dirt, oil and toxins, so all the skincare products applied after can perform their job. The natural charcoal in this solid cleansing stick is amazing because it’s so easy to use, just swipe on. It’s also just $20 (and most of the line is in this price point too)!

Add a serum

Antioxidants are key to radiant skin so while your pores are open you can add a serum before you moisturize to really amp up the anti-aging antioxidant effects. The Wake Up Face Serum is a powerful proprietary combination of 15% encapsulated Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E. This anti-aging serum is the key to healthier looking skin. 

Do you need an eye cream?

My husband loved that he can use this moisturizer for both eyes and face. Plus it’s ultra hydrating and not greasy.  Then there’s the Oars & Alps Wake Up Eye Stick, my husband feels and loves the immediate cooling effects and that it’s an easy to apply rollerball- no need to get your hands messy and it can be used any time of day.  Plus it’s firming, smoothing and brightening. I probably steal this one most!

How about exfoliation?

Men have thicker, oilier skin and though shaving exfoliates it is still nice to get an even deeper exfoliation. Most people don’t know that exfoliating is a big part of keeping the skin looking smoother and younger. A gentle chemical exfoliant like these daily peel pads are great but gentle enough that they can be used every day. Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid are gentle exfoliants that remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. The easiest way to improved skin texture and tone is to introduce an exfoliant. I just love their name too- the Anti-Everything Pads!

Moisturize

Many men aren’t moisturizing or aren’t moisturizing twice a day.   This moisturizer is great because it can be used for both eyes and face, it’s ultra hydrating and not greasy making it easy to apply morning and night.

Great ingredients = great skin care.

Alpine Caribou Moss™ is the star in Oars & Alps, it’s a small but mighty plant that toughs it out in the harsh tundra of northern Finland. Other workhorse ingredients strengthen and protect your skin, fighting the effects of sun, sweat, wind, pollution and the dirt and grime of everyday life.

Here’s an idea daily skincare regimen and bonus- it takes 30 seconds (what man wants to spend more than that!)

Solid Face Wash – Easy, powerful and portable, dissolves deep down dirt.

Anti-Everything Pads – An essential step to clear away dead skin and improve uneven tone and texture.

Shine Free Lip Balm– Protect your lips from the elements and keep them healthy and hydrated.

Wake Up Face Serum –Instantly refresh with antioxidants. 3 key ingredients reduce redness, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, fine lines/wrinkles, and dry skin.

Face and Eye Cream – Feel fresher in an instant by hydrating dry and tired skin.

Wake Up Eye Stick – Roll on a cooling kick of caffeine to feel more alert and depuff.

There’s also a great daily beard oil for the men in your life with facial hair.

Don’t know where to start? Why not start with an easy Anti-aging kit– a simple 2-step routine for the men who want simple and effective.

Skincare doesn’t have to be complex but great skin does take some effort! But at 50 my husband looks great and I feel good knowing he is using the best clean skincare products. The Oars & Alps line of skincare products is also suitable for both men and women, which I love. It’s nice not having extra products and knowing we can share. It’s also perfect for traveling lightly!
