As women, we love tending to our skin and making sure to keep it in its healthiest and most glowing form. But have you ever wondered how to get glowing skin for men, and that too naturally? Well, we have the answer right here.
When it comes to natural glow, one always prefers a homemade or an organic remedy that uses household ingredients or herbal products that use natural herbs rather than chemicals. Here, we share with you a few tips for attaining clear, glowing skin for men, who are also interested in giving a healthy and natural glow to their skin.
Face Glow Tips For Men
Several facial glow tips have been shared by generations. It will be wise here to point out that men’s skin is a little different than women’s; men’s skin pores are larger and their skin tends to be more oilier and 25% thicker than women. So, a good skincare regimen should be one that addresses skin concerns specific to men’s skin conditions.
While traditionally men have neglected skincare, however, over the years more and more men have become interested in self care and grooming products. So skin care has been a growing area of interest for men. The good news is that achieving a glowing skin for men isn’t as difficult or time-consuming as one might think. There are certain steps you need to follow, and when you use natural, herbal products, nothing can go wrong.
-
Cleansing: Cleansing your face after waking up in the morning and before going to bed is a must. Besides that, you should also wash your face frequently as your sebum glands continuously produce oil that attracts dirt and grime. Using natural oils to clean your face has rapidly become a popular and effective method to deep clean your face as it helps take away built up dirt from the pores. Olive and castor oils are great for oil cleansing.
-
Shave: How frequently you must shave depends on how quickly your facial hair grows. You can shave once or twice a week. Make sure you use a sharp blade to prevent in-grown hair and skin irritation. Soak a cloth in lukewarm water and place it over your face before you shave as this helps soften the facial hair.
-
Exfoliate: This step removes dead skin cells from the uppermost layer of your skin. You can use sugar & honey scrub or coffee & honey scrub to exfoliate your skin. Mix the ingredients in equal ratio or as desired to prepare the scrub. Besan or gram flour is another great option to scrub off the dead skin cells. Mix some milk or curd in it and apply it to your face. Leave it to dry, and then scrub gently with wet fingers. Rinse well and pat dry your face. Do this once or twice a week for that fresh look every time.
-
Tone Your Face: As men have larger skin pores than women, they should use a good toner to close the enlarged pores. Take some rose petals and boil them in some water, and store it in a bottle after straining. You can also add the petals to hot water and leave them for an hour. Prepare this every week and use it as a toner.
-
Moisturize: This is another important step one can’t skip. As soon as you tone your face, while it’s still damp, apply a natural, and herbal moisturizer according to your skin type. We recommend you use our Fair’e Mulethi-Khus Skin Brightening Gel if you have oily skin and Af’fair Fumitory-Liquorice Skin Brightening Cream for dry or normal skin.
-
Sunscreen: At least 15 minutes before stepping out of home, apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF. This will prevent tanning and early signs of ageing like fine lines, pigmentation, freckles, etc.

-
Night Routine: Your night time routine is as important as the daytime one, actually maybe more as the skin repairs daily damage while we sleep. Make sure to follow a good CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing) regimen before bed. Cleanse your face, apply a toner, followed by moisturising. However, night skincare products are different. We recommend you choose glow boosting night-routine products based on Oily/Combination Skin and Normal/Dry Skin.
-
Face Pack: Once or twice a week, you should give your skin the nourishment it needs to stay healthy and glowing. If your skin appears to have tanned in the past few days, use an anti-tan pack such as Petalsoft Anti-tan Rose Face Pack to get rid of the tanning effects.
If you are not sure of the products to choose from, you can get a trial kit like Ayurvedic Glow Boosting Trial Kit, and then opt for a full pack of Ayurvedic Glow Boosting Bundle.
