Skincare is just for women. Or is it?

It’s time to change the way we think about skincare! Today, we’re seeing a growing awareness of skincare among men, and it’s great to see that many people find our philosophy of a simple and effective skincare routine appealing. As a skincare entrepreneur, I’m proud to offer products that are just as good for men as they are for women. Here, we’re sharing some helpful tips and recommendations for men looking to take care of their skin.

Your skin

Men generally have higher levels of testosterone, which affects the skin in several ways. Testosterone contributes to increased hair growth, coarser skin, and higher sebum production, which results in larger pores. In addition, men's skin is often thicker than women's. This can lead to problems like acne and comedones, especially during adolescence, but also later in life.

What products do we recommend for men?

Men have just as much need for skincare products as women, but it is important to take into account the specific characteristics of men's skin. With thicker skin and increased sebum production, we recommend light face creams that are absorbed quickly. Our favorites are Dr. Ankerstjerne SUPERFOOD and ANTI-POLLUTION daycream. These products can be easily used alone or together for maximum effect.

One or two products are all it takes

We've made advanced skincare simple. With just one product, you can achieve visible results.

Dr. Ankerstjerne ANTI-POLLUTION daycream is a moisturizing anti-aging cream with a light consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin. It is perfect for combination and oily skin, which many men have. Just one application can increase the skin's moisture content by as much as 24%. The cream protects the skin from damage from air pollution and contains potent antioxidants and essential fatty acids to strengthen the skin's barrier, which is especially important in cold months.

Anti-aging for men

Our bestseller, SUPERFOOD , is a hydrating anti-aging gel that many men use as their only skincare product. It absorbs quickly and gives immediate firmness and glow to the skin. The content of active ingredients has documented effects on both the skin surface and moisture content, as well as suppressing sebum production and irritation.

Clinical studies show that when SUPERFOOD is used as the only skincare product over 8 weeks, 10 out of 10 users experience reduced wrinkle length, increased skin firmness, reduced wrinkle depth and increased elasticity.

Facial cleanser in the shower

Good cleansing is the first step towards healthy skin. WASH the day off is a light foaming gel face wash that cleanses thoroughly without drying out the skin. It prepares the skin before shaving and creates an optimal base for subsequent products. Feel free to use a facial brush a couple of times a week for gentle exfoliation, which will help prevent clogged pores and ingrown hairs.

Tips for a bump-free shave

Shaving can be harsh on the skin and can lead to dehydration and irritation. Here are some tips to prevent bumps and irritation:

1. Wash your skin before shaving to remove dirt and impurities.
2. Only go over each area once to reduce wear.
3. Make sure the razor is sharp and apply light pressure against the skin.
4. Choose a moisturizing shaving gel rather than traditional shaving foam.
5. Rinse with cold water after shaving to close the pores.
6. Finish with a moisturizer, such as ANTI-POLLUTION daycream or SUPERFOOD, for optimal care.

Skincare is no longer just for women. It's time for men to take the step towards better skin health too. With simple, effective products, everyone can achieve healthier, more radiant skin. Take care of your skin – you deserve it!
