Cosmetics tutorial for guys [modo gamer: ON]

Noob, amateur or expert, we all have a level when it comes to skin care. Whatever your level, in this post we will tell you in an easy way, the step by step to go from level to top. Grab the joystick and press start that we start in 3, 2, 1…

1. NOOB LEVEL: GIVE WAX, POLISH WAX

Your skin collects dirt, pollution and dust (which is not cool) until your face is like a Tetris of everyday crap.

So to pass the first level of the skincare game, remember what Mr. Miyagi said: give wax, polish wax. Translation for non-geeks: wash your face in the morning and at night . Thus, in addition to leaving your skin like gold jets, you keep oil, shine and even the worst of pimples at bay.

Of course, skip the white label soap, the basic shower gel or the Fairy (which dries out your skin in a reptilian way) and get the cleanser that your face deserves: one that removes dirt, hydrates you and refreshes you more than a foam party in Ibiza.

Just like our Splash Foam Party , look where you are.

2. NORMAL LEVEL: WATER FOR YOUR SKIN

Don't go putting your head under the tap just yet, but the challenge that awaits you at the next level of men's cosmetics is...

Daily hydration.

To hydrate, simply put, is to add water to your skin (like when you water the plant that your mother gave you, but without damaging it) and it makes your face look smooth, flexible, without wrinkles... Come on, you hydrate yourself, and only good things bloom from your pores.

Why do you think that water type Pokemon are the most based?

Ready to play the cosmetics game in normal mode? Get a good moisturizing cream (one that you can use for everyday battles, with a light texture, that doesn't leave shine on you... that is, one like this one ) and use it daily.

3. ADVANCED LEVEL: READY PLAYER 2, 3, 4, 5…

This is where things get complicated and become a choose-your-own-adventure game. Because there are no recipes that are suitable for all skin types and it depends more on what each person likes, scratches or feels like.

Shall we give a quick review of the most common cosmetic needs? Well, buckle up, there are more curves coming than in Mario Kart:

○ Exfoliation. It helps to “descale” dead cells that have remained from eternal after-effects in the superficial layer of your skin, accelerate cell regeneration and combat various scratches (pimples, pores, spots, wrinkles…) to leave you with an “I eat your face” effect. . An exfoliant that has all that and is more addictive than Candy Crush? Marching one of Coffee Crush .

○ Bags, dark circles, crow's feet... If looks could talk, some would say “Game Over”. The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face and that is why there are specific creams designed to “pamper” that area. Now, if what you want is a look that will overwhelm everything in front of you like a GTA patrol car, take a look at our Banzeye !

○ Wrinkles and age lines. It is an inevitable part of the adventure of leveling up every year, so forget about “anti” age tricks with the Benjamin Button effect. Better get a cream with ingredients that (really) minimize the signs of aging and that are for your skin like the little yellow star is for Mario. And if you want to enjoy wearing it while you continue adding points of experience, then sign up for our Wow Young.

○ And when do you need to put life on pause? Well, you get a mask like our Hero's Recharging Mask and recharge your batteries after a hard day or a killer hangover . In 20 minutes they leave you as if an extra life had just fallen from the sky.

○ Finally, if what you are looking for is a cream with more combos than in Street Fighter, give our Handsomefyer a try, the all-in-1 to rule them all: removes shine, hides pores, softens wrinkles, hydrates, evens out skin tone and with sunscreen… A final fantasy.

4. PRO LEVEL: THE FINAL BOSS OF COSMETICS

We don't know anyone who has had it 100% (not even the one writing this).

And the final boss of this level wakes up every day prepared for the final fight... sun protection.

Yes, the sun makes you tan hot, it provides vitamins, it gives you a taste... but it also makes very bad things for your skin if you don't protect yourself properly. And don't worry, getting tan and taking care of your skin is NOT a possible mission.

To avoid its harmful rays, you have to apply sunscreen EVERY day of the year, without cheating.

Although with an all-in-1 cream like our Handsomefyer Sun that, in addition to tuning up your face “in summer mode”, has 50% sun protection so that you attract more eyes than redness… well, you don't even feel like cheating, you know?

SECRET LEVEL: ENJOYING ON YOUR SKIN

If you have to take away something from this post, let it be this: when taking care of yourself, not everything can be routines, rules or obligations.

At Siwon we believe that cosmetics SHOULD be enjoyable, no matter what form: a relaxing bath with foam here and there, a facial treatment that leaves you in 20 minutes as if you had returned to childhood, a little self-love (you know)…

We have come here to take care of ourselves, yes, but while… we play, we explore and, above all, we indulge ourselves. If not, why?

THE SUMMARY:

Noob level: Wash your face in the morning and at night.
Normal level: moisturize daily.
Advanced level:listen to what your little face is asking you.
Pro level: sunscreen daily.
Secret level: that is delicious and you want to treat yourself.

PS: And if you still don't know where to start, you're still looking for your Legendary Pokemon from cosmetics or you're collecting demos of any cream you crosses your path in “get it all” mode, maybe what you need is a little extra help…

This test matches you in less than 1 minute with the creams that best suit you to easily pass the cosmetics game.

Ready, set, go… A reventar el game!

We do cool right!
