Gentlemen Facial Lotion

The Gentlemen Facial Lotion is a lightweight daily face moisturizer for men that absorbs quickly with a non-greasy finish, so skin feels smooth, comfortable and hydrated all day without shine. It is made with Aloe Vera and Rose Hydrosols, Almond, Avocado, Borage Seed, Chia Seed, Carrot Seed, Foraha, Jojoba and Red Raspberry Seed Oils, Cocoa Butter and plant-derived Squalane, with Vetiver, Chamomile and Orange Peel Oils. It is free from mineral oil, silicone, parabens, artificial colors and artificial fragrances.

A good face moisturizer for men is light, absorbs fast and does not leave shine, so it is easy to use every day, like the Gentlemen Facial Lotion. Look for one that suits your skin type and skips mineral oil, silicones, parabens and artificial fragrances. Ours uses plant-derived Squalane with Almond, Avocado and Borage Seed Oils to keep skin soft and comfortable. Apply it after washing and shaving, and wear sunscreen in the daytime. If your skin is very dry, use a little more or apply it twice a day.

Squalane is a light, odorless oil that is very similar to the natural oils your skin makes, so it absorbs easily and moisturizes without feeling greasy, and the Gentlemen Facial Lotion uses a plant-derived squalane from olives. It comes from squalene, a substance found naturally in skin and in some plants; squalane is the stable form used in skin care, so it keeps well in a lotion. It suits most skin types, including oily and combination skin, which is why it is popular in lightweight moisturizers.

Use the Gentlemen Facial Lotion daily, as often as your skin needs it. Cleanse your face with water and towel dry, then massage a small amount, about the size of a pea or a little more, into your face and neck until absorbed, avoiding the eyes. In the morning, follow with sunscreen. It works on its own or under sunscreen, and it absorbs quickly, so you can get dressed and go. If you shave, apply it right after shaving.

Yes. Shaving removes a thin layer of skin cells along with the hair, which can leave skin dry, tight or uncomfortable, and a light lotion like the Gentlemen Facial Lotion puts moisture back. Rinse your face with cool water after shaving, pat dry gently and massage in a small amount. If your skin is sensitive, skip harsh, alcohol-heavy aftershaves. If you get red bumps after shaving, shave in the direction your hair grows, use a sharp blade and do not press too hard.

Yes. The Gentlemen Facial Lotion is lightweight and absorbs quickly with a non-greasy finish, so it suits oily and combination skin as well as normal and dry skin. Plant-derived Squalane and Jojoba Oil are similar to the skin's own oils, so they moisturize without a heavy feel. On combination skin, apply a little less on the forehead, nose and chin, where skin is oilier, and a little more on the cheeks. If your skin is very oily, once a day may be enough.

Yes. The Gentlemen Facial Lotion absorbs quickly and leaves a comfortable, non-greasy finish, so it works well under sunscreen. It does not contain SPF, so in the daytime apply your sunscreen after it, once the lotion has absorbed. Daily sunscreen is one of the best habits for keeping skin looking healthy, especially if you spend time outdoors. At night, you can use the lotion on its own. If you also shave, apply the lotion after shaving and before sunscreen.

Keep it simple, with three steps morning and night, and the Gentlemen Facial Lotion covers the moisturizing step. First, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water. Second, if you like, use a toner such as our Gentlemen Facial Toner to remove what is left and refresh the skin. Third, massage in a light moisturizer. In the morning, finish with sunscreen. Stick with it every day, add one product at a time and give your skin a few weeks to adjust.

Yes. Cold wind outdoors and dry indoor heat pull moisture from the skin, so men's faces often feel tight, rough or flaky in winter, and the Gentlemen Facial Lotion helps keep skin soft and comfortable. Its Cocoa Butter and Almond, Avocado and Borage Seed Oils add moisture without heaviness. In winter, apply it after every wash and shave, or twice a day, use lukewarm instead of hot water and run a humidifier at home. Keep wearing sunscreen too, since winter sun and snow glare still reach your skin.
