BEST MEN SKIN CARE ROUTINE: CONSIDERATIONS
There are a few key factors to consider when it comes to men's skincare to achieve and preserve healthy, radiant skin. Medical grade ingredients are much better in addressing specific skin care issues. Our team of experts at Sparrow MD will help help you understand your skin type before selecting skincare products.
1. Our doctors always recommend cleansers and moisturizers that do not strip your skin of its natural moisture.
2. If your skin is prone to acne, we recommend non-comedogenic formulations.
3. If you have sensitive skin, we always recommend "fragrance-free" products and would recommend being careful with active acids and retinoids.
4. Our doctors always recommend wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen. A sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be applied daily to delay the aging process.
5. Our team always makes sure that simple, consistent regimens can be followed by our male clients.
BEST MEN SKIN CARE TIPS
The best skincare tips for men are simple yet effective. They focus on promoting healthy, well-moisturized, and protected skin. These include:
- Every day and after working out, wash your face. This helps prevent blemishes and acne.
- The secret to good skin, particularly in the winter, is a good moisturizer.
- A broad-spectrum sunscreen should always be worn before going out for the day.
- Don’t forget to soften up your beard before shaving. This helps to avoid redness, razor bumps and ingrown hair.
- Don’t use aftershaves containing alcohols. They can cause irritation to the skin.
- Use eye cream containing retinol or glycolic acid to treat fine lines around eyes.

MEN SKIN CARE VANCOUVER: ADDRESSING SKIN CONCERNS
Specific skin care issues are prevalent in many of our male clients at our clinic in Vancouver. We make a concerted effort to address your skin care goals based on your needs.
PREVENTION OF AGING
Anti-aging skin care is important for the aging skin of men. We always recommend wearing sunscreens daily to prevent sun damage. We may recommend specific products such as retinoids and growth factors to help address fine lines and winkles. In-office procedures like M22 IPL, microneedling, and exosomes can also help stimulate collagen production, help with pigmentation, and improve skin texture and tone.
REDNESS
Redness may occur on the skin as result of sun damage, rosacea, or other skin conditions. The redness can be reduced using mild exfoliators. LED therapy, photofacials and medical grade skin care can all work together to reduce redness in the skin.
BLEMISHES
Blemishes can be improved depending on the specific causes. Our doctors may be able to provide medical prescriptions for your acne and blemishes. Customized medical products, laser treatments, microneedling and chemical peels can also be tremendously helpful. The best results are usually achieved with a combination of treatments based on your skin type.
ACNE AND ACNE SCARRING
Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, medical grade microneedling, and prescribed topical and oral medications can all help treat acne and acne scarring. Medications like accutane can also be used individually. Clearing your acne effectively is the most important step to prevent acne scarring. We always recommend you to come in and speak with one of our doctors to decide on the best course of action.
