For some men, their skincare regimen is simple: wash their face with soap and water, pat dry and maybe apply a face moisturizer. Easy enough and if it works well, adding an extra step to an already simplified regimen, may be an unnecessary step if you ask them. So imagine how difficult it can be trying to school your man or brother on the benefits of switching to all-natural products when they believe in the old adage “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” While that saying can be true in some instances, there are many studies and articles detailing the benefits of adopting clean beauty products into your regimen.
The best way to get them to jump on board to switch to an all-natural skin care regimen is to look for products that specifically cater to them or unisex products that have neutral scents. If you need help with swapping out the chemical-filled soap and moisturizer for a more natural alternative, here’s a simple list often-friendly brands to help you get started.
