Men's moisturizer: Hydration, anti-aging, and natural care

Men's moisturizers are an essential part of any male skincare routine. Nowadays, men's skincare offers effective and natural solutions for men's facial care, helping to prevent skin aging, hydrate the skin, and protect it from external aggressions.

How necessary is it for us to use a men's moisturizer formulated for men ?

In the market we find an endless number of conventional cosmetic products as well as natural skincare and certified organic skincare.

The vast majority of brands promote their products as unisex, meaning their face creams and other facial care products can also be used by men. And they're not lying...

Men can also use these products, which we consider "misnamed" unisex.

But are these products really formulated for men's skin ?

We have already explained the differences between men's and women's skin in other articles, so we will not go into detail here.

However, there are 5 basic characteristics that differentiate Homo Naturals from any other "unisex" brand.

What sets Homo Naturals apart from other natural skincare brands?

1. The textures

This is the most important feature, since a texture formulated for women's skin may be too oily for men's skin, even if it has been formulated for combination skin.

It should be noted that a man's combination skin will always be oilier than a woman's.

We sometimes receive comments from men who tell us that until now they could not use creams, that their skin was showing them off until they discovered Homo Naturals.

This comment is very common, because although many brands promote their products as unisex, their moisturizers are formulated for their public, which is not exactly men.

2. The formulation

Men need specific formulas that adapt to the specific thickness needs of their skin, as well as to the sebum production needs.

At Homo Naturals, we always say that knowing how to formulate well is like knowing how to play the piano well. It takes many years of experience to develop advanced formulas that adapt to the needs of each skin type.

3. Ingredients

We have a section dedicated to explaining the differences between the ingredients used in natural skincare and the differences with conventional skincare.

Men's moisturizers should always be formulated without petroleum-derived ingredients. Use face creams that contain vegetable oils, instead of paraffin, silicone oils, etc.

However, not all vegetable oils are created equal. Many refined vegetable oils contain traces of chemicals and have lost their properties because they have been heated for extraction. At Homo Naturals, we use only cold-pressed vegetable oils, which retain all their nourishing properties for our skin.

It is also very important that creams formulated for men contain sebum-regulating active ingredients to balance excess oil secretion.

4. Fragrances

Of course, there are all sorts of tastes, and this topic is a very delicate one, because, deep down, nature doesn't distinguish between masculine fragrances and those that aren't.

But it's clear that there are a number of perfumes that men generally like more, and that's why perfume manufacturers focus on the male audience.

We don't often get men writing to us saying how amazing our products smell. And that's simply because they contain essential oils, which are generally more sensorially appealing.

5. The presentation

This is the least important point of all. Fortunately, times have changed, and the color of bottles and boxes shouldn't be exclusive to men or women.

While more subdued colors have traditionally been used in men's skincare, this doesn't have to be the case. We use black, not because we're a men's cosmetics brand, but because our black packaging ensures that sunlight won't affect the contents. Our packaging also adds a distinguished, premium touch to any bathroom or room.

Types of facial creams for men according to your needs

Daily hydration

Daily hydration is essential and a must-have step in a men's facial care routine. If you have combination or oily skin, we recommend hydrating your skin with a facial moisturizer.

However, if you have normal or dry skin, it is best to moisturize your skin with a facial cream that is formulated for men's skin.

Anti-aging and anti-wrinkle action

Add an anti-aging serum to your facial care routine to treat and prevent wrinkles. And of course, you can't forget a good anti-aging cream formulated for men's skin.

Our Anti-Stress formula, both in gel and cream, is the best anti-aging option for men, as it contains Bakuchiol (natural retinol) + hyaluronic acid + antioxidant and regenerating botanical extracts, as well as vitamins C and E.

Eye contour

The eye contour is the area where signs of facial aging are most noticeable, especially in men. Use an eye contour cream with a light texture like our Eyes-On-Me. Its roll-on format makes it very easy to use, and its formula comprehensively combats wrinkles, puffy eyes, and dark circles.

Basic skincare routine for men with facial creams

The essential steps you can't miss in your men's skincare routine are:

• Cleansing
• Hydration with anti-aging cream
• Sunscreen

However, depending on your skin's needs, we recommend adding the following steps to your routine:

• Weekly scrubbing
• Revitalizing + sebum-regulating toner
• Anti-aging serum with specific treatments (blemishes, acne, etc.)
• Facial concealer

Conclusion

Incorporating a good facial cream into your daily routine isn't just a matter of aesthetics, but also of skin health. At Homo Naturals, we offer you the best in natural men's skincare, developed specifically for the needs of men's skin.
