Hello, hi.
How are you?
I'm Robin.
Welcome back, or welcome to my YouTube channel.
This little world right here is Man For Himself.
If you like hair product reviews, grooming, skincare,
fragrance, and videos like this very one, then
chances are you're going to love it around here.
Please do press Subscribe right now.
I am all about little tweaks, little things that we can do
to make big changes and big differences in our haircare,
in our skincare, in our general day-to-day grooming.
And throughout the years of really more experimenting on
YouTube, which has been almost eight years now, I have found
things, tiny little things which have made such a big difference
to how I feel with my skin.
It feeling more comfortable, it looking brighter, it
been clearer from spots.
And I want to share some of those tips in this.
These are five things that everyone can do.
Also, this products down here, they are not going to cost
the Earth, so you can scale it up and go more premium, or
you can have stuff, which is really, really budget friendly.
Now, before we get into these top tips, this video
has been sponsored by Wild.
Now, Wild is a brand new deodorant.
Now this is a natural deodorant, which is Aluminium,
and it's paraben-free, and it actually works.
It's a deodorant.
It's not an antiperspirant, so it's not going
to clog your pores.
Now there's so much, that's great about Wild.
One is that it's sustainable.
I think at a time where we need to be thinking about the choices
that we make, things like this really do make a difference.
This is an Aluminium case, which means you hold onto this.
You keep it.
And when you finish with your deodorant cartridge,
you just buy another one or you get on subscription and
you pop it into this case.
This is designed to last a lifetime.
So you're not going to use it and then chuck it.
And the cartridges that you get, they come in different scents.
The one that I got in here is citrus.
But there's also a cotton one, there's a sea salt one.
And there's also one which has coconut.
There are a few different ones, but it will all
be linked down below.
But these cartridges are made from bamboo pulp and
they are 100% biodegradable.
So it means when you finish this, you can just put
it off into your compost bin and it is done.
And also sometimes with the sort of sustainability
messaging, a lot of products, it means you kind of got to
sacrifice on style, but you do get to pick different colors.
So if that's something that you want, you can do that.
And also, as I said, there are different scents.
So there is something to suit everyone.
I do have a discount code.
I've got discount code of MFH.
It is on screen now.
It's also linked down below in the description,
and that is going to get you 20% off your order.
And you can have a one-off order, which you just buy and
it arrives in one of these boxes, or you can subscribe.
And when you subscribe, you're going to get those refills
sent to you in the post.
And you're also going to get some subscriber perks.
Right.
Onto the top tips.
The first one that I've got is the most simple, and
this is around cleansers.
Now a cleanser is what you use to wash your face.
We should all be using a cleanser in the morning
and we should be using a cleanser at night.
Now, not all cleansers are created equally.
And the one key thing that I'm going to say, which might be a
bit controversial, is that a lot of these sort of men's brands,
the ones that say, "For men!
Wash your face!
For men!
Cleanest face, for men!"
Are sometimes quite stripping of the skin.
I think as men, hello, if you're a woman, you are very
welcome here, we kind of want to feel like our faces are
clean, but when something is squeaky clean, when something is
tight and when your skin feels stripped, it is not good for it.
Reprogram your brain to know that when your face feels
tight, this is not good.
You want a light cleanser, a cleanser that is going
to clean and not strip.
So if you're thinking, yeah, that's me, do you know, what I
actually, the thing that I use, is stripping, it's tightening.
Stop using that and get something else.
I will link products down below.
Also all products are on manforhimself.com.
Some of my favorites are there.
And, but some brands like Bulldog Skincare,
I talk about a lot.
You can get one for sensitive skin.
You can get ones for oily skin.
Also a brand Simple, Simple again is not going to strip
anything out of your skin.
It's just going to keep it simple.
There you go.
But just think about how your skin is feeling.
Cleanse, yes, but don't strip.
The second one, and this again goes in that cleansing.
This is an extra product to add in at night.
And this is a cleansing oil.
Now, I have been double cleansing for five years.
Let's say five years.
This is when you firstly, use a little bit of a cleansing oil.
I've got one here by Le Labo, but I've also used one by DHC,
which is really very cheap.
There's another one by Elizabeth Arden that I really like.
Just a couple of pumps on this onto your hands
and get into a dry skin.
It's dry.
You're going to start to massage it in and that's going to break
down the dirt on the skin, also to kind of break down the SPF.
You should be wearing an SPF.
We'll talk about that in a minute.
It's going to break it down and then you can then
move on to your cleanser.
Just wash it slightly, damp your face.
Get that cleanser in and get it all off.
This is the thing for me that has probably changed my skin the
most, is that double cleanse.
You only need to do at night.
You don't need to do it in the morning.
Oil on, then cleanse as usual.
The next one, I think that will make a big difference
to your skin, is the SPF.
Now an SPF, it should be the final thing that
you put onto your skin.
SPFs aren't just for summer holiday times when you're out
and about, and you're having a great time and you're lying
out and you're sunbathing.
Um, no.
SPFs are a day-to-day thing that you should
be using all the time.
It's going to protect against UVA and UVB.
UVA is really the aging.
It's what the sun does, and it kind of changes the cells
in the skin, which in extreme cases or cancer causing.
There's also UVB, which is really the stuff
that does the burning.
So you, you are looking for a broad spectrum SPF,
broad spectrum, UVA and UVB.
This doesn't have to be anything, and it shouldn't
be anything heavy.
It shouldn't cause a white cast on the skin.
It shouldn't feel like it's suffocating your skin,
your skin should still feel like it's able to breathe.
Your skin shouldn't feel greasy.
It shouldn't feel oily.
Again I will link some of my favorite products there,
but SPFs, invest in it.
This is really your investing in the future of your skin.
This is the best thing, to kind of be anti aging.
Because anti aging, really not a thing, is
it, but it should help.
Like these ones here are super expensive.
Would I recommend this.
I love this.
I was gifted this.
This, this is Dr Barbara Sturm.
A couple of drops of this intermedium moisturizer,
but there are other brands where you just get a bit
of that, bit of an SPF.
And I would just say, mix it in with your moisturizer.
Just one or two drops.
Mix it in onto the face, down onto the neck, up, up, up.
Onto the ears and you are done.
That is three.
The fourth one is again another very simple addition.
And this is to add a serum into your morning routine.
Now, a serum is, let me show you what a serum is like a shot.
It's a shot of something which is going to either
target a skin concern, or help out with something.
This one is by Disciple.
This is vitamin C gel, triple C gel.
Vitamin C is great for brightening your skin.
Brightening it, making it look, like it's just a lot healthier.
There's also other sorts of serums and like this one, Obagi.
I worked with them on the blog, and this one is good
for fine lines and wrinkles.
So you can kind of pick a targeted serum.
This is going to go after you cleanse.
So you've washed your face.
You then will probably use your serum and then you
will use your moisturizer.
Yes, there are other steps you can doing like toning,
but if you are just going to do the cleansing, the
serum and the moisturizer.
This goes into the center there.
I will link to my favorite serums, but this is really
where you can start to tweak and tailor your skincare routine
for your own personal skin.
Another one.
Under eye cream.
A lot of guys, especially when you start to get a
little bit older, you do feel like the bags are really
kind of hanging around here.
You also might have some discolorization under the eyes.
It might look a bit purple, sometimes a little bit black,
and you really want to get as much hydration in under there.
And one of the best ways of doing this, I mean, sleep.
That's one way.
Water, just so you can flush that all out, but if
you've tried that and you still kind of struggle.
A little bit of under-eye cream is perfect.
This one is by The Inkey List.
It's got caffeine in it.
Just a couple of bits of this, tap it in with
the ring finger here.
That's the softest one for the pressure, around the
orbital area, being really careful around the eyes
and that, shoot, just give you a really great boost.
I will link some of my favorite ones.
Under eye creams.
Like these are the ones we can get them for like
£5, $5 and all the way up.
So again, get the best that you possibly can for
your budget right there.
But as I say, these are five tips that everyone can change
and everyone can add into.
Just see kind of what suits you and just get, also experiment.
You might get to a point that things aren't quite right
and just tweak little things and see what works for you.

tips will be linked down below in the description.
