Men's Grooming Tips And Top Products From Team FTF
As a group of beauty industry lovers with access to some of the best men's skincare products on the market, it's no wonder that the male members of our Face the Future team have the most incredible skin. With that in mind, we grabbed them for today's post and asked them to share some of their top men's grooming tips along with their must-have products that help to keep their skin in shape.
Menâs skin is around 20-25% thicker than womenâs skin. And with the tendency to produce extra sebum, male skin is often oilier and shinier, making it more prone to acne and other impurities that can cause a buildup and lead to issues like congestion and textural problems. So, to achieve and maintain healthy skin, it's important to keep up a good men's self-care and skincare routine.Â
Use Hyaluronic Acid DailyÂ
Of course, we have to start with our fabulous Face the Future Director, Paul! "As Iâm now into my mid-forties, Iâm noticing the signs of ageing more and more each day! So Iâm definitely paying even more attention to my grooming and skincare routine." Paul says. "Obviously working at Face the Future gives me access to hundreds of brands, products and formulas that help me minimise the signs of ageing. I apply a hyaluronic acid serum every day, I'm currently using the SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier. Hyaluronic acid is really beneficial as it helps to restore moisture in the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, so itâs a staple part of my routine that helps me to minimise the signs of ageing.â
Use A Sea Salt Spray For Beard StylingÂ
Sea salt sprays have risen in popularity over the last couple of years, and, thanks to their super effective formulas and how quick and easy they are to use, there's no wonder why.
Our, eCommerce & Operations Director, Mark, says âI apply a sea salt spray to my beard followed by a beard balm or butter. Sea salt sprays arenât specifically for beards, but I find it helps keep my beard under control! Iâve been trying out the Murdock London Sea Salt Spray that we recently launched and I think it's great!â
Use A Beard Balm
When it comes to beard care, Jerome, our eCommerce & Digital Marketing executive agrees that Murdock London makes an excellent choice. "One of the tips that I would offer to people with facial hair is to use a high-quality beard balm as it makes such a huge difference!" Jerome says. "I use the Murdock London Beard Balm every morning - it helps my moustache and beard look full and healthy.â

Don't Forget SPFÂ
Wearing a high-quality SPF daily is super-important to help to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent the premature signs of ageing. "I make sure to cleanse my skin both morning and night using a hydrating cleanser to keep my skin feeling comfortable and looking more plumped." Says Ben, our eCommerce Manager. "But my number one rule is that I never leave the house in the morning without applying my La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50.
Cleanse Your Skin Thoroughly
Another super-important part of your skincare routine and a must for healthy skin is proper cleansing. If your skin isn't cleansed properly, then it's easy for your pores to become clogged and bacteria to accumulate, leading to congestion and unwanted breakouts and blemishes. Our Junior Graphic Designer, Jack, loves the Nip + Fab Charcoal Fix And Mandelic Acid Cleansingg Wash. He says âI always make sure to cleanse my face both morning and evening. This charcoal and mandelic acid wash helps to remove toxins and impurities but is still gentle, so itâs perfect for everyday use. Itâs also really hydrating and feels cooling on my skin.â
Be Consistent With Your Skincare Routine
Our eCommerce & Operations Director, Mark, adds "my top grooming tip is to be consistent with your skincare regime. You only get one face, so you need to look after it! Many men donât have a skincare regime, but even a basic routine using as little as a cleanser and moisturising SPF would be more beneficial than using nothing! Our free online skin tests are useful to point you in the right direction of a new skincare regime!"
