How to Solve the Four Most Common Skincare Problems

time:2025-02-06 05:53:07 Source: author:

In elementary school, we all learned that the skin is your body’s biggest organ. That's a cute fact—but the reality is that your skin often ends up giving you more grief than the rest of your organs (except your brain, obviously). Skincare problems need to be solved—especially when they involve your beautiful mug. The good news: Whatever specific skincare problems you're dealing with, our picks for the best skincare products can help you out. And some of these products—specifically, the four we're highlighting here—are really, really good. So good, in fact, that they're each winners of a 2017 GQ Grooming Award. So we're breaking down some of the most common ailments, and digging into the best ways to solve them. It doesn't matter if your skin routine is basically non-existent (spoiler alert: it should be, y'know, existent) or if your medicine cabinet already looks like the moisturizer section at Barneys—we've got something for you.

If You Hate Washing Your Face

Skincare is about the long game. Avoidance is no longer an option—your 60-year-old self will thank you. To start, pick up some micellar water—it attracts and removes dirt, and you don't have to rinse afterward. Better yet, scrub down with a daily exfoliant. Really getting serious? Add a spray toner. In the long run, a routine like this will be way less work than getting your face refurbished by professionals.

Haunted by pimples? Us, too. The first step is to ease off on harsher grooming products. Try a cleansing balm, which doesn't strip your skin, and then a super-lightweight moisturizer that won't bombard your skin with extra gunk. When you Spidey-sense an imminent breakout, zap the area with a light treatment. It kills the bad stuff without turning your whole face angry-toddler red.

What red-blooded male hasn't at one point sweated so profusely in a meeting he considered something drastic—undershirts, extra shirts, Botox of the armpit? Short of that—which we don't recommend—the key is to keep your pores clear. Use a scrub, then renew with the stuff that won't make you break into another sweat, like a toner and a light gel moisturizer.

The fanciest tier of grooming products—the elite goops for the elite goopers—are all about ingredients. (Boutique-lab-to-medicine-cabinet is the new farm-to-table.) If you're one of these people, or just want to be, start with a premium moisturizer and eye cream to deflate those bags. Then find a nighttime-only serum to make the big changes while you sleep. A pro-level groomsman strikes first.
