Men's facial care: the natural anti-aging routine to adopt from the age of 30

Goal: Clear, comfortable, and protected skin—without a complicated routine.

Natural Men's Facial Routine — Atelier Hanloé

Diagnose your skin type

Normal to combination skin

Slightly shiny T-zone, normal cheeks. Aim for a light moisturizing gel + SPF.

Dry / sensitive skin

Tightness, redness. Choose a rich barrier cream + soothing active ingredient.

Oily skin / imperfections

Shine, visible pores. Choose a gentle cleanser + non-greasy moisturizer.

Morning Routine (3 steps)

  1. Gently cleanse — no harshness, physiological pH.
  2. Hydrate — hyaluronic acid gel/serum for comfort without a greasy film.
  3. Protect — Daily SPF, even in the city.
Light hydration + SPF = a winning combo for everyday use.

Evening routine (2–3 steps)

  1. Clean thoroughly (after sport/city).
  2. Repair — barrier cream or soothing serum (depending on sensitivity).
  3. Option 1–2×/week: Gentle AHA peel to smooth and brighten.

Shaving & soothing

  • Shave after showering (softened hair) and in the direction of hair growth.
  • Rinse with warm then cold water to soothe.
  • Apply a soothing treatment (ceramides, aloe, green tea) — alcohol-free.
Reactive skin — Replace aggressive foam with a gentle gel, and avoid excessively worn blades.

Key assets to prioritize

Hyaluronic acid & betaine

Moisturizes without greasing — immediate comfort after shaving.

Niacinamide

Regulates sebum production, refines the grain, strengthens the barrier.

Green tea / black tea

Antioxidants, soothe micro-inflammations and the feeling of overheating.

Ceramides & Omegas

Repairs the skin barrier, reduces redness and tightness.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Stripping cleaners that worsen shine.
  • Dry or against-the-grain shaving on sensitized skin.
  • Forget the SPF (even on a short beard: cheeks/nose/forehead remain exposed).
