Skinn for Men

As summer draws to a close, the months of exposure to sun, surf and sand will begin to take its toll on your skin.

Whilst most Australian men are in the routine of "slipping, slopping and slapping" to protect their skin from the sun's harmful UV rays, many men do not realise the additional effects that salt, sand and suncream has on the skin.

However, Dr Nina Wines, Dermatologist and Director of SKINN, suggests that the onset of Autumn is the perfect time for men to adopt a new skincare routine to ensure their skin gets the nourishment it needs to repair the damage of summer.

"Our research has shown that the health and condition of men's skin just does not compare to women's, and it's often during summer that these differences are most apparent. For many men, the most moisturising their skin receives is from the sun-cream and after-sun they apply for a day at the beach." Said Dr Wines. "While women tend to opt for daily moisturisers with UV protection, many men do not even use moisturisers." She added.

The Merz and Wines SKINN product range, contains the necessary ingredients to introduce a quick three-step routine that will give a boost to the most sun-weathered skin.

STEP 1. FACE SCRUB (soap-free) - contains micro-dermabrasion beads that gently resurface the skin by removing dead skin sells and built impurities. A five-minute scrub will leave skin feeling soft, smooth and rejuvenated.

STEP 2. TOTAL SHAVE (soap-free) - a combined shave cream and cleanser in one. Total Shave cleans, soothes and protects the face for a rapid, and comfortable, shave. Contains aloe barbadensis to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin, whilst glycerine and other ingredients nourish the skin to optimise razor glide.

STEP 3. DAILY MOISTURE - a non-greasy, daily moisturiser that intensively hydrates and relieves post-shave irritation to give skin a healthy, fresh look. Containing UV filters, jojoba oil and grape seed extract, Daily Moisture is filled with powerful anti-oxidants to help protect against sun damage and ageing!
