Hey slick! Has the sizzling heat and sticky humidity left your face looking like a grease pit? If so, you may have to tweak your summer skincare routine. It’s common for your face to get a bit oilier, as the weather heats up. The key to a great complexion is managing that excess sebum without stripping necessary moisture from your skin. We reached out to Josh Meyer of Brickell Men’s Products. He along with his co-founder, Matt Bolduc developed a line of high performing men’s grooming products that are chock full of nourishing ingredients. Miami based, Meyer offers this summer skincare routine to help you beat the heat.

Step 1. Wash your face: It should be a no brainer, but during the summer, your pores are bombarded with pore clogging oils, dead skin, and bacteria from the endless hours underneath the sun. Brickell’s Clarifying Gel Face Wash was built to clear out pores on even the most oily skin. Coconut cleansers wash away grime and oil, while geranium, a powerful natural anti-septic, dissolves bacteria from causing unsightly acne. Use the product in the morning, before bed, and after any sweat inducing activity  under the sun.

Step 2. Use face scrub: Exfoliating isn’t just for the ladies. As you sweat and get sunburned, dead skin accumulates on the skin, dulling your complexion and causing build up in your pores. Brickell’s Renewing Face Scrub uses pumice to remove dead skin and give you a more polished look. Use it right after you wash your face.

Dead skin also isn’t just an issue for your complexion – it can ruin your shave. Dead skin and build up clog your razor and create more friction for your blade. Using an application of the Renewing Face Scrub pre shave makes your razor’s path much smoother – reducing post shave irritation and ingrown hairs.

Step 3. Hydrate your skin: Heat and the sun’s rays can severely dry out your skin. Dry skin not only makes you look tired and worn out, it ages your face. Use Brickell’s Daily Essential Face Moisturizer after washing and exfoliating to put the hydration back into your skin. The product’s very lightweight, so it absorbs right in. Aloe provides a surge of moisture, while Green Tea Extract helps prevent free radicals from causing wrinkles.

Step 4. Protect those lips: Your lips are made of some of the most delicate skin on your face. Use Brickell’s No Shine Lip Balm to keep them chap free. Vitamin E and Beeswax seal in moisture while SPF15 helps prevent damage from the sun’s UVA/UVB rays.

Travel can be considered a form of self-care. Research from 2021 showed that travel could boost happiness, and a small study from 2020 had similar findings. Mental health is important, but what about skin health? Jet lag, days out in the sun, changing climates, and early morning wake-up calls can do a number on your skin. Think puffy eyes, sunburn, dark circles, and dryness.

Of course, you’ll probably be snapping photos of yourself in front of all the landmarks or beaches you visit. These days, iPhone cameras are essentially as good as the real deal, picking up on all of last night’s big sins. There’s no shame in wanting to look as good as you feel. A solid skincare routine is critical.

A dermatologist explains the best winter skincare routine
How to keep skin moisturized during cold weather

As winter approaches, scarves, hats, warm coats, and gloves get pulled out of storage, and winter boots start lining the front door instead of flip-flops and running shoes. Knowing how to keep skin moisturized is important in any season, but especially during the winter months. Getting out the door in the morning clad to face the elements becomes a laborious process of bundling up and protecting every inch of exposed skin from chilling winter winds and frigid air.
However, sometimes, no matter how meticulous you are at covering your skin from the cold, dry, winter air, you can still find your skin feeling itchy, dry, and chapped in the winter. As much as your clothing has to change with the seasons, your skincare routine may need an overhaul in the winter to keep it as supple, soft, smooth, and hydrated as it is in milder seasons.
Many men deal with excessively dry skin in the wintertime, but this doesn’t have to be a given. With a good moisturizing routine and the right skincare products, you can get through even the chilliest and driest winter months with healthy, nourished, soft skin. To help make this the winter your skin doesn’t flake and has an enviable, hydrated glow, we spoke with Dr. Rebecca Bialas, MD, MPH, the Co-Founder of CLARA Dermatology. She filled us in on all the best winter skin care tips for men to help keep your skin moisturized during cold weather.

Why does skin get dry in the winter?
Dry skin in the winter doesn’t just refer to the skin on your face, body, and hands. Dr. Bialas says that many men also deal with chapped and dry lips and flaky scalp (seborrheic dermatitis) in the winter. “In winter, the colder air and indoor heating both reduce the amount of moisture in the air, so our skin tends to dry out more quickly,” she explains.

You’ve likely heard terms like “beauty sleep” and “sleeping beauty.” Putting aside the Disney character for a moment, people usually use these terms to describe the idea that going to bed earlier enhances your appearance. It turns out that this concept may not be an old wives’ tale. You’ve likely heard about the importance of sleep for reducing risks of poor heart health, obesity, and depression. However, more zzz’s may have you loving your look when you look at that mirror on the wall. A small 2017 study of adults ages 18 to 65 found that just two nights of sleep restriction could reduce attractiveness. 

In addition to the basic act of hitting the hay at a reasonable hour, there are other ways to get more handsome in your sleep. Here’s how to optimize your nighttime routine so that you, too, can become a true sleeping beauty.
