Whilst many choose to suffer in silence, enduring painful in-grown hairs, razor rash and irritated skin, many of our bearded loved ones have made the switch to men’s organic skincare and been pleasantly surprised by the change in their skin. We are often asked for recommendations on natural male grooming products and we find that men in particular are more interested in washing their faces in the morning.

Although what we’re about to say may sound controversial, it applies to everyone – if you only do one thing for your skin, swap this around. Focus on an intensive night-time cleanse. That’s when you need to wash off the pollution, oil and dirt from your day. You can even ditch the morning natural face wash and instead give your skin a gentle rinse upon waking.

For those of you who do opt for diving into bed without scrubbing your face or rinsing your beard, we’ve rounded up our favourite products to break the habit one step at a time.

Step-By-Step Organic Skincare For Men

Begin by cleaning the skin with an organic cleanser. For those who can be put off by ‘beauty’ product packaging, we have a selection of men’s organic skincare to sit more neutrally by your bathroom sink.
Whilst you may think the rules for face washing don’t apply to facial hair, think again. Unlike the hair on your head, beards are subject to food, cigarette smoke, a dash of whiskey or craft beer, burger crumbs, as well as general pollution and dirt. Give it at least an end-of-day rinse. If looking for a more eco friendly shaving kit, check out all our shaving & beards products. To maintain shine and softness, add a drop or two of beard oil.
Finish the regime with a swipe of natural face lotion. Organic skincare for men doesn’t have to be fussy but if you’re feeling particularly enthused, a little organic eye cream goes a long way to hide the night before!
