MEN'S BUTTONS: A ROUTINE TO LIMIT THEIR APPEARANCE

 Have you noticed one, two, or lots of small buttons when looking at yourself in the mirror? In humans, several factors can explain the appearance of comedones. A daily face routine helps fight against this type of imperfection.



WHAT CAUSES PIMPLES IN MEN?

Sebaceous glands are more numerous and more active in men than in women! Their skin is generally thicker and oilier. In adolescence, an imbalance of hormones, such as testosterone, is most often the cause of acne in boys. These hormones cause an overproduction of sebum, which promotes the appearance of pimples. Once this period is over, the skin tends to normalize.

Hormones are not the only cause of skin blemishes in men. A rich diet, lack of sleep, and stress are all potential reasons that can affect the epidermis. Perspiration and external aggressions linked to pollution or the weather also influence the appearance of blackheads. When the skin feels threatened, it produces more sebum to protect itself. Over time, dead skin cells end up clogging the pores.


SHAVING CAN ALSO CAUSE PIMPLES IN A MAN

Shaving is a familiar, frequent, and even daily occurrence for some. It is not uncommon for pimples to bloom after shaving. Most of the time, these imperfections are due to the alteration of the skin's protective film, to micro-cuts, or to bacteria infecting the hair follicles. Sensitive skin is more prone to these problems. The type of beard also has an influence. Fine or curly hair can "ingrow" more easily. A poorly maintained razor or a dull blade is also triggered.



WHAT ROUTINE TO ADOPT TO HELP FIGHT BLEMISHES?

To help fight those little blemishes on a daily basis, adopt the right routine. The good news is that it only takes a few minutes to take care of your skin.


USE A MALE FACIAL CLEANSER EVERY DAY

To help fight blemishes, it's important to clean your skin every day. Choose a gentle facial cleanser that's tailored to your skin type and specially designed for men's skin. An energizing and cleansing gel for men removes impurities and excess oil for clean, revitalized skin. Do you have a beard? NIVEA Barber Pro Face and Beard Cleansing Gel effectively cleanses the skin and softens beard hair.


MOISTURIZE WITH THE RIGHT PRODUCT

Once the skin is clean, even blemished skin needs to be moisturized. However, it is important to choose a suitable product that does not make the skin greasy. NIVEA MEN Deep Mattifying Facial Care, formulated with black charcoal, helps prevent blemishes in combination with oily skin. Its light texture moisturizes and reduces the amount of sebum on the skin's surface, leaving skin fresh and oil-free.


EXFOLIATE REGULARLY TO ACT IN A MORE TARGETED WAY

Your skin needs more intense care, once or twice a week, to get rid of dead skin and unclog blackheads and comedones. You can use a gentle facial scrub once or twice a week.


CAN A PIMPLE DISAPPEAR QUICKLY?

Rule number 1: don't pop your pimples! You risk making things worse and leaving ugly scars. Unfortunately, there is no miracle cure for pimples. Beware of unapproved home remedies that can sometimes irritate the skin. Apply a product specifically formulated for pimples. Ask your dermatologist for advice if you have severe acne. You can also apply an ice cube to the affected area to reduce the pimple quickly before an appointment, for example (this method will only give a temporary effect).
