gent’s skin
At Novum Skin & Wellness, we believe that skincare is not gender-specific. Men’s skin is unique, and while it may not always receive the attention it deserves, it’s just as important to look after. Men's skin tends to be thicker, oilier, and more prone to certain conditions like shaving irritation, acne, and the effects of environmental stress. With the right skincare routine and professional treatments, men can achieve healthier, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Common Skin concerns for Men
Common Skin Concerns for Men
Shaving Irritation
Constant shaving can lead to razor burn, bumps, ingrown hairs, and inflammation. Using the right shaving techniques and post-shave skincare products is essential to prevent these issues and maintain smooth, clear skin.Oily Skin and Acne
Oily skin is common in men, especially in their teens and early twenties. Excess oil production can clog pores and lead to breakouts, acne, and blackheads. Men are also more likely to experience adult acne due to hormonal changes, stress, or lifestyle factors.Dehydration
Despite the oiliness, many men suffer from dehydrated skin. Dehydration can cause skin to look dull, dry, and rough. Hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin and preventing premature ageing.Ageing and Fine Lines
As men age, fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the forehead, eyes, and mouth, become more noticeable. Collagen and elastin production slow down, leading to the skin losing its firmness and elasticity.Sun Damage
Men are often less likely to use sunscreen regularly, leading to an increased risk of sunburn, dark spots, and premature ageing. Sun damage also increases the risk of skin cancer, making sun protection crucial.

Skincare Tips for Men
Cleanse Daily: Choose a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Men’s skin tends to be oilier, so look for a product that removes excess oil without stripping the skin.
Exfoliate Regularly: Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, clear pores, and prevent ingrown hairs. A gentle exfoliating scrub or enzyme-based exfoliator can keep your skin smooth and refreshed.
Moisturise: Even oily skin needs moisture. Opt for an oil-free, lightweight moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and healthy without feeling greasy.
Shave Properly: Always shave after showering, when the hair is softened, and use a high-quality shaving cream. Follow with an alcohol-free aftershave to soothe and calm the skin.
Wear Sunscreen: Sunscreen is essential, even if you work indoors or during the winter. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent sun damage.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dehydration, which can cause dryness and premature ageing.
