3-step recommendations for a boyfriend/dad who’s new to skincare

For someone who says, “I don’t know what to apply,” it’s better to build one habit first than to add more products. Even just using one all-in-one product and remembering sunscreen can make a big difference.

Beginner Routine for Men

Morning

  1. Foam cleanser (before shaving)
  2. All-in-one lotion
  3. Sunscreen (one that isn’t too sticky)

Evening

  1. Foam cleanser
  2. All-in-one lotion

      For a beginner routine, keeping it this simple makes it less of a hassle.

      1. Cleansing: It’s fine to just rinse with water in the morning; in the evening, wash with a gentle cleanser. Especially on days you wear sunscreen, don’t skip your evening cleanse.
      2. Moisturizing: Apply a thin layer of all-in-one lotion or cream after cleansing. At first, a straightforward moisturizer is a better choice than a product with a strong fragrance or lots of exfoliating ingredients. It’s easy to choose one that contains glycerin or ceramides.
      3. Sunscreen: As the last step in the morning, use SPF 30 or higher, and if possible, SPF 50+ PA++++. Many people give up because of white cast or stickiness, so it’s practical to try applying small amounts to your face in sections and choose a texture you like.

      Adding one new product at a time also makes it easier to figure out what caused a reaction. An all-in-one product is a convenience item, not a must-have, so if your skin still feels tight, you can switch to a separate moisturizer.

      Editor's tip: For someone who dislikes sunscreen, try recommending a “tone-up-free sun lotion” or a “sun stick” first. Something that goes on in one step like a lotion is the easiest way to build a habit.
