EXTRA TIPS ABOUT SHAVING

Ingrown hairs, skin irritations, and more: When shaving, there are a few pitfalls that you should consciously avoid for the sake of your skin. With the following tips, you can do this skillfully.

• Prepare your skin optimally for shaving by moistening it with lukewarm water.
• Cleanse your skin before shaving with TONE MEN. By preparing your skin with our cleansing toner, you protect your skin from unwanted inflammation caused by bacteria.
• Instead of shaving foam, use our cleansing gel for men's skin, CLEAN MEN: It contains allantoin, vitamin B5, and panthenol, three active ingredients with particularly soothing and moisture-retaining properties that prevent dryness and irritation during shaving.
• Shave carefully with a sharp blade. Change it before each shave or disinfect it with an antiseptic.
• Your skin needs special care after shaving! Use an appropriate and soothing care product specifically developed for men's skin and start your day with relaxed skin: The Doctor Mi!Day Care DAY MEN contains, in addition to collagen-promoting ingredients Retinol and Niacinamide, the miracle ingredient Ectoin and lactate buffer: Ectoin has anti-inflammatory effects and provides active cell protection, while lactate buffer keeps your pH balanced even after shaving.

By the way: TONE MEN contains, in addition to strengthening amino acids and pH-balancing lactate buffers, also AHA fruit acids and salicylic acid. AHA stimulates cell renewal after shaving, while salicylic acid acts as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and repair agent. TONE MEN is therefore an excellent alternative to aftershave!

FAQ: FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MORNING ROUTINE FOR MEN'S SKIN

Do you still have questions about the morning routine for men's skin? Below you will find concrete answers to the most frequently asked questions on the topic of morning routine for men's skin.

• What should I consider in the morning care of shiny, coarse-pored, or oily men's skin?
  Oily skin is contradictory and results from an overproduction of sebum. If you do not care for your skin according to its needs, it tries to balance itself. This leads to an excessive increase in sebum production to sufficiently moisturize the skin and prevent it from drying out. It is advisable to establish a care routine in the morning that optimally nourishes your skin:

  • With CLEAN MEN, you gently remove excess sebum, dirt, and sweat. The contained panthenol, allantoin, and vitamin B5 have a very nourishing and soothing effect.
  • TONE MEN removes dead skin cells on the skin caused by AHA fruit acids, which are responsible for impurities, while the included lactate buffer preserves your skin's natural moisture. Additionally, selected amino acids strengthen the skin barrier, salicylic acid removes impurities and smooths your skin texture.
  • By subsequently using the day care DAY MEN, you ensure a finer skin texture, as the vitamin B5 contained in it regulates sebum production and helps your skin find balance.

• Which products can I use to avoid skin irritations after the morning shave?
  We recommend products for the morning shave that balance the skin's natural pH value, have anti-inflammatory effects, and effectively retain your skin's natural moisture. Using CLEAN MEN already creates the optimal conditions before shaving to prevent irritation: The natural active ingredient complex SyriCalm contained in it strengthens your skin's natural self-defense mechanisms and effectively reduces existing inflammation. In addition, Panthenol stimulates wound healing even before shaving. Use TONE MEN before and after shaving to keep your pH value balanced and properly cleanse your skin. By caring for your skin after shaving with DAY MEN, you provide it ideally and enable the perfect finish for your shave.

• Does using retinol in the morning help improve existing deep wrinkles?
  Retinol is a unique active ingredient, well known for its exceptional functions: It is scientifically proven that retinol promotes collagen regeneration, supports cell renewal, and thus contributes to a lasting reduction of wrinkles. When consistently incorporated into the daily morning routine, retinol acts as a skin renewer – and it is the only scientifically proven active ingredient to do so. It is important that the retinol in the product used is optimally formulated. The Doctor Mi! day care DAY MEN combines particularly effective TECMi!® retinol with intelligent active ingredients such as vitamin B3 and vitamin B5, providing not only a comprehensive anti-aging effect but also deeply strengthened skin.

• Can I also do the morning routine for men's skin in the evening?
  The needs of male skin also change from day to night. Therefore, we recommend that you follow our Evening Routine for Men's Skin. In the evening, there are specific additional options to actively promote the regeneration of your skin, prevent skin aging, and wake up feeling even fresher in the morning.

• Is there a secret tip besides the morning routine to prevent skin aging?
  The most obvious insider tip regarding skincare: consistent use of sunscreen. Ideally, it should be part of your daily care routine. The skin is exposed to harmful UVA and UVB rays all year round, even if they are not always visible. This also applies indoors, in snow, rain, and cloudy skies. Therefore, we recommend applying SPF 50+ daily in both summer and winter. If you also want to reduce existing wrinkles, we recommend using our Skin Booster RED in combination with the DERMAROLLER during Microneedling!
