The right skin care for men
The small but subtle difference: the skin of men and women differs in its texture and therefore also in its daily care requirements. Due to the hormone testosterone, men's skin contains more and more active sebaceous glands. Especially at a young age, men suffer more frequently from skin impurities or acne. In addition, the proportion of collagen is higher and the skin is 20% thicker than that of women. Shaving in particular puts a strain on men's facial skin. The skin there is particularly sensitive and prone to small pimples and irritation.


Cleansing
It is therefore important to thoroughly cleanse the skin in the morning and evening to prevent skin impurities. A weekly exfoliation removes dead skin cells and frees the pores from dirt and sweat.
When bathing, make sure that the water is not too hot, as excessively high temperatures dry out the skin. The bath should not last longer than 15 minutes in order to achieve optimum skin care. Our bath salts contain an intensive care complex with plant oils to provide special protection against dehydration.
For dry skin, men should make sure to use a shower gel that prevents the skin from drying out further. Dresdner Essenz shower gels contain a moisturising complex and give your skin the moisture it needs. The water should also not be too hot when showering.
Body lotions that moisturise the skin after washing ensure a well-groomed complexion. Dresdner Essenz body lotions have a light texture that is quickly absorbed. Valuable essential oils and plant-based moisturisers ensure that the skin feels beautiful and has a long-lasting fresh fragrance. Areas of skin such as elbows, feet, knees and hands tend to be rough and need regular care.
Show off your feet
Beautiful feet are part of a well-groomed appearance. Beautiful feet need attention and care. If you often wear safety shoes or wellington boots, your feet are particularly susceptible to callus formation. In summer, you may also sweat a lot due to insufficient ventilation in your shoes. You can tackle calluses at home with pumice stones or callus sponges.
Important! Treat yourself to a refreshing and cleansing foot bath before your pedicure. A foot bath from Dresdner Essenz is soothing and helps tired and stressed feet. Especially after long hikes or outdoor activities, a foot bath is really good! Now nothing stands in the way of subsequent foot care


Hand care is not just for women
What do women look for in men? Many surveys have shown that the hands are the most frequently inspected in order to assess the other person. Brittle and dirty fingernails and cracked hands certainly don't make the best impression.
Make sure you trim your nails regularly. The best way to do this is with a nail file. Cutting the nails with scissors usually causes the nails to become brittle and splinter. Regularly moisturising your hands and nails prevents rough patches and torn cuticles.
Especially after manual work, such as repair work on the car or bicycle or after gardening, the hands are heavily stressed and need an extra portion of care.
The rich Dresdner Essenz hand creams nourish the hands with valuable plant-based moisturisers such as almond oil or shea butter. They regenerate the skin, leave it feeling smooth and relaxed and have a subtle fragrance.
