DIY Face Masks For Men

You probably assume that “DIY Face Masks For Men” especially using kitchen ingredients are a little too, well, “girly.”

That’s what I used to believe—not that being “girly” is wrong.

Well, my dear gents, now is the time to rethink…

Face masks are no longer reserved for ladies well-earned ‘me time’ but now it is an essential component of a man skincare regime. Our skin, regardless of gender, requires appropriate care and attention, particularly in the current era where a poor diet, long, exhausting days, and rising temperatures all have a negative impact on both internal and external health. Even the masculine skin that’s described as ‘Rough and tough’, needs care as men are equally exposed to hot summer rays, pollution and dirt that can make skin dull, dark and acne-prone.

It’s also true that frequent shaving causes the men skin to become harder. Therefore, if you think that you don’t need to take care of your skin, you should reconsider. Bad news is that men skin has no immunity to damages caused by free radicals, sun exposure, acne, and other skin conditions. Even it is more vulnerable then the women’s skin as it is more ‘Rough and tough’. So, still feel like a caveman when it comes to skin care?

Therefore, whether you are searching the internet for face masks made specifically for men or trying to convince your boy to give them a try without putting any pressure on your wallet? We’ve rounded up four DIY face masks for men that you can make from the items on your kitchen counter. All you need are kitchen ingredients and some me-time.
