For far too long, skincare has been viewed as something primarily for women. Walk into any store, and you'll find shelves upon shelves of products targeted at women, with only a small section for men. This imbalance isn’t just a matter of supply and demand; it’s rooted in outdated notions that skincare is somehow "unmanly." But the truth is, men need skincare just as much as women do—perhaps even more so, considering the environmental and lifestyle challenges we face daily.

In India, where the sun, humidity, and pollution are relentless, the skin takes a daily beating. These factors, combined with stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep, lead to a host of skin issues, from dullness and dark circles to breakouts and premature aging. And here’s a fact that might surprise you: By the time you hit 25, your skin starts losing elasticity, and fine lines and wrinkles begin to make their appearance. Yet, many men remain unaware of these changes, continuing to use the same generic soaps and products they’ve relied on for years.

MENSCO is here to change the narrative and make skincare accessible, effective, and simple for men. With just four essential products, you can build a skincare routine that’s not only easy to follow but also incredibly effective. This isn’t about vanity—it’s about taking care of yourself, boosting your confidence, and putting your best face forward every day.

Step 1: Cleanse with Charcoal Face Wash – The Foundation of Healthy Skin

Think about all the things your skin goes through in a day. From the moment you step outside, your face is exposed to dust, pollution, and sweat. By the end of the day, your skin is covered in grime that can clog your pores and make your skin look dull and tired. 

MENSCO’s Charcoal Face Wash is designed to do more than just clean your skin—it detoxifies it. Activated charcoal is known for its ability to draw out impurities, acting like a magnet to pull dirt and oil from deep within your pores. But unlike harsh soaps that leave your skin feeling tight and dry, our charcoal face wash cleanses without stripping away your skin’s natural oils.

How to Use: Start your day with a clean slate. Wet your face with lukewarm water, apply a small amount of face wash to your fingertips, and gently massage it into your skin in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat your face dry with a clean towel. Repeat this process at night before bed to ensure your skin is free of the day’s buildup.

Step 2: Hydrate with Moisturizing Lotion with SPF (AM) – Shield Your Skin from Daily Damage

Once your skin is clean, the next step is to hydrate and protect it. You might think that moisturising is optional, especially if your skin isn’t particularly dry. But here’s the thing: even oily skin needs moisture. In fact, when your skin is well-hydrated, it can better defend itself against environmental stressors.

MENSCO’s Moisturising Lotion with SPF does double duty. It not only provides the hydration your skin craves but also offers crucial protection from the sun. UV rays are one of the biggest culprits behind premature aging, and regular exposure can lead to dark spots, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. By using a moisturizer with SPF, you’re shielding your skin from these harmful rays while keeping it soft and smooth.

How to Use: After cleansing your face in the morning, squeeze a small amount of lotion into your hands and apply it evenly to your face and neck. Make sure you cover all exposed areas, and don’t forget to apply it to the back of your neck and ears if you’re going to be outside. This step ensures your skin stays hydrated and protected all day long.

Step 3: Protect with Retinol Night Cream (PM) – Repair While You Rest

At night, while you sleep, your skin shifts into repair mode. This is when it recovers from the day’s damage and regenerates new cells. It’s also the perfect time to introduce a powerful ingredient like retinol into your routine. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is renowned for its anti-aging benefits. It helps increase cell turnover, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and smooths out your skin’s texture.

MENSCO’s Retinol Night Cream is specifically formulated to work while you rest, providing your skin with the nourishment it needs to repair and rejuvenate overnight. By using it regularly, you’ll start to notice your skin becoming firmer, smoother, and more youthful.

How to Use: After your evening cleanse, take a small amount of the night cream and apply it to your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. Use upward strokes to massage it into your skin gently. Allow the cream to absorb fully before hitting the pillow. Over time, this routine will help you wake up with skin that looks refreshed and revitalized.

Step 4: Repair with Under Eye Serum for Dark Circle Defense – Brighten and Rejuvenate Tired Eyes

The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on your face, making it more prone to showing signs of fatigue and aging. Dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines are common issues that can make you look older and more tired than you feel. Addressing these concerns doesn’t just make you look better—it can also help you feel more alert and confident.

MENSCO’s Under Eye Serum is designed to target these problem areas. With ingredients that help reduce puffiness, lighten dark circles, and smooth out fine lines, this serum is a game-changer for tired eyes. Whether you’ve had a long night or are just dealing with the stress of daily life, a little bit of this serum can make a big difference in how you look and feel.

How to Use: Gently apply a small amount of the serum to the skin under your eyes using your ring finger (it’s the weakest finger, so it applies the least pressure). Pat the serum into your skin, being careful not to rub or pull. Use it twice daily—once in the morning and once at night—for best results.
