GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO SKIN CARE
5 SKIN CARE BASICS
5 SKIN CARE BASICSThink skin care is women? You are not alone. Truth is you are already using plenty of skin care - face wash, bar soaps, moisturizers, etc. Just not the right kind. Your face is one of your most important assets in social encounters, yet you might be investing the least in taking good care of face. As a professional, you probably take pride in the way you look. But skin care may be lagging. The reality first...
- Skin degrades in men at 25
- Different skin requires different care
- Skin care requirements change with age
Now this guide gives you a way to achieve face that looks 5-10 years younger.
MEN'S SKIN IS DIFFERENT
Men have 25% thicker skin than women. Men generally have oilier skin than women. Men can have bad skin because of slow cell-turn over, oil control problem, loss of water, degradation of elastin or collagen or a combination of these reasons.
GETTING GREAT SKIN
To give you great skin, we have designed a skin care regimen around what you may already be doing everyday, with a extra step or two to correct any problems for a short duration.
Remember, identifying skin imperfections is half the solution. The other half is selecting the right product and the right regimen. B.LAB makes it all easy in the Gentleman's Guide to Skin Care.
We will show you exactly how. Read on...
SLOW CELL TURN OVER
What is it: The surface skin takes longer than 21 days to be replaced
Common problems: dullness, greasy skin and clogged pores
What causes it: Genetics, age
Goal: Exfoliate and declog pores
Care Guidelines:
- Wash face with exfoliating skin wash twice daily - 1) morning and 2) before bed time. Men with active lifestyle should use it in between (gym, sports).
- Use skin wash with Salicylic Acid so your skin doesn't dry out
- For oily skin, use Oil Control Skin Wash
- For normal/dry skin, use Clarifying Skin Wash

OIL IMBALANCE
What is it: Sebaceous glands (oil glands) become overactive
Common Problems: Greasy skin, infections, acne and irritation
What causes it: Stress, hormonal, genetic and environmental ageing, bad skin care

Care Guidelines:

WATER LOSS
What is it: Water in between skin layers is lost
Common Problems: Dryness, sensitivity, thinning skin
What causes it: Stress, diet, UV damage, ageing, cheap products
Goal: Restore water levels in skin
IMPORTANT:
Skin has low-permeability, meaning it keeps bad s**t out. Water loss indicates increased permeability to external particles. In other words, dry sensitive skin may increase risk of infections and UV damage. Cheap skin care increases skin permeability by altering the pH balance. Think twice before using that "natural face wash" which costs just Rs. 150.
Care Guidelines:
- Use high quality moisturizer at bed time. Using B.LAB night time moisturizers will help you increase and retain water levels in your skin.
- Protect yourself from UV at day time so your skin is not damaged further.
Recommended Product
Cleanse, Protect and Repair: Maintaining good skin is fairly simple. Use high quality products to do the following. Cleansing and exfoliation, sun screen and moisturization. B.LAB products are designed to make this regimen easy to follow.
COLOR IMBALANCE:
What is it: Increase in melanin production
Common Problems: Tanning, uneven skin tone
What causes it: UV exposure, hormones and ageing
Care Guidelines:
- Use sun screen at day time.
For dry skin, apply Brightening UV Defence Cream in day time.
For oily skin, apply Oil Control Complexion Gel in day time - Reduce UV exposure by applying the Brightening UV Defence Cream.
- At night, apply the Brightening Night Cream before bed time.
- Twice a week, Apply the Radiance Booster Masque for 15 minutes for a deeper removal of melanin.
