When it comes to using makeup, not just men, even women are subjected to judgments and bias. But more than makeup, skincare is something a lot of us hoard on because- healthy skin for the win!
However, it’s not just female skin that needs some TLC. Men also need to protect and repair their skin from the damage done by the harmful sun rays, dust, pollution, oil, and all that gunk.
But this isn’t something that we see a lot of men confess to doing, at least in public.
However, recently a lot of men opened up about it and shared their skincare routine. They shared what they do to take care of their skin after a Pune-based woman asked them to share their basic skincare routine.
How manny of you (men) follow basic skin care routine??

I do. I have extremely fair side skin which is actually very weak when in sun. Proper cleaning with pH level balance and sunscreen. The most important part of skin care, sunscreen. It has saved my skin. I take skin care seriously.

There were also some who completely mocked the idea of skincare.
Men and skincare isn’t oxymoronic ? Nahane ke baad agae koi aadmi sarso ya nariyal tel laga rha hai then he is taking care of his skin.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with taking care of one’s own skin and body and it’s definitely not something anyone should be ashamed of. Look at some Indian male ‘beauty influencers’ like Ankush Bahuguna, Siddharth Batra, Jason Arland among others who have been breaking stereotypes by making some BOMB makeup videos.
Here’s some of them:
Kudos to all who’ve decided to do what they love despite societal constraints.
