We get it. You’re on the go, believe less is more and want to simplify your life. It seems every skincare routine out there requires you to buy hundreds of products, each claiming to do something amazing. These products add up - both in time and money. We’re here to tell you that skincare doesn’t need to be strenuous. In fact, we think it should be pretty simple and straightforward. For men who want to feel good about their skin, but don’t want to spend a fortune, we have a simple routine for you. The truth is you can be a minimalist with your grooming products and have a manageable skincare regimen with three simple steps.

1. Start by cleansing your skin daily 

Whether you work in a corporate office, at home or have a more hands-on job, you’d be surprised to see the amount of dirt, oil and grime that builds up on your face. It’s inevitable no matter the environment you call work or home. That’s why it’s super important to cleanse your skin every day. Cleansing is the bookend to every day - do it once in the morning and once before going to bed. The right cleanser will prevent breakouts, add shine to your skin and unclog pores. This sets the foundation to build on. So, before you use any other products on your skin - cleanse first! We recommend The Daily’s 'Clean Face' Deep Cleansing Gel - the all-natural way to shake off that 9-to-5 grind. Great for all skin types, this deep cleansing gel gives you a boost of antioxidants, removes dirt, oil and pollutants from your skin after a long day.

2. Invest in a quality eye cream 

The average guy spends one-third of their day in front of a screen. That’s a lot of strain on your eyes! With less sleep and more screen time, dark undereye circles and puffiness is a growing problem. One of the simplest ways to look less tired and more youthful? Eye cream. As you age, so does your skin. And, it shows. Prevent wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles with a rejuvenating eye cream. It’s small enough to throw in your gym bag and easy enough to apply every morning and night. Our go-to is The Daily’s 'Fresh Eyes' Intensive Eye Cream . Ideal for all skin types, it actively lifts and firms skin around the eyes and reduces wrinkles.

3. The finale: moisturise every morning and night 

Once you’ve deep cleansed your skin, time to hydrate and protect your face. Moisturisers act as a shield from dirt, oil and toxins. It’s easy to skip this step, especially if you feel like you live in a warm climate. However, whether you’re in a warm, cold, dry or windy climate, your skin is exposed to pollutants and the sun every day. The right moisturiser will act as a barrier to these elements - protecting you and recouping your skin. We recommend The Daily’s 'Skin Repair' or otherwise known as Every Man’s Moisturiser - a natural, lightweight option for all skin types. The moisturiser provides the vitamins and nutrients you need to repair dry face, itchy skin and rough razor burn. Apply a small amount in the morning and before bed to maximise benefits. Simple, Natural and Nourishing.

And, it’s that simple. So, forget the serums, face masks and toners. You don’t need 50 products to preserve your skin and look youthful. Just follow these three simple steps every day and you’ll be on your way to looking and feeling great. One final question that you may have: In a sea of skincare products, which do you choose? Easy: the natural products. Good-for-you ingredients are packed with the nutrients and vitamins your skin is thirsty for. What we love about The Daily is that they keep it clean and natural. All products are paraben-free, cruelty-free, 100% vegan and made in Australia.
