For Men - How to Get Healthy Glowing Skin
For Men - How to Get Healthy, Glowing Skin
Steps
1 — Use Sun Protection. You've probably heard it plenty of times before, but prevention is easier than the cure. Wear sunscreen, a hat, sensible clothes now, to avoid poor skin when you're older.
2 — Wash your Face and Body every day. Wash your face once when you wake up and once at night before you go to bed. Use a gentle soap that's different from the bar soap you use in the shower (they're too harsh for your face). Wash your body at least once a day.
