The Best Skincare Routine For Men
A Man’s Ritual for Renewal. It’s the best skin care routine for men:
- Keeps his skin healthy, clean and problem free.
- Has simple, reliable systematic steps that work for all skin types.
- Has a long history of proven results. It’s time tested and reliable for a lifetime.
For most men, it used to be just soap to wash, shaving cream or foam to shave and maybe an aftershave. And skin care fads, miracle products and exotic, break through ingredients continue to come and go over the ages.
If skin care products, their formulation, ingredients worked as promised, why do they get replaced with something new so often?
Is there a reliable skin care routine for men with a long history of proven results?
Yes, it exists. The best skin care routine for men has 6 key characteristics:
- Double Cleansing with cleansing plus gentle, daily exfoliation.
- Nourishment that hydrates and protects your skin by delivering nutrients to aid in its recovery, renewal and function.
-
A System. The products in men’s skin care sets should be a well-designed, proven system. Just because the products are in a set, it doesn’t mean they are proven to work together. All skin care steps should follow a well-designed, specific sequence & skin care layering process – a system through optimum dosage frequency – that helps the skin to efficiently receive ample hydration, nourishment and protection. There is one skin care system that’s been proven to work since 1932. It’s the Metrin Skincare System for Him.
“system: a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized framework or method.”
~Oxford Dictionary - Harmony and Synergy. All products used in the skin care routine steps are designed to work with each other and the skin harmoniously, which creates a powerful synergy that helps the skin function at its best.
- Consistency. Twice daily, morning and at night. No skin care routine can be effective without consistency. It’s the most important aspect of a good skin care routine, to help your skin stay healthy and radiant.
- Great for Shaving and facial hair care. Works extremely well with shaving – because the skin care products and steps are also great for shaving. And for the care of any moustache or beard too. No other skin care products or steps are needed. It works superbly for men’s skin.
Features of a Man's Skin
It’s a touch thicker and oilier than a woman’s skin, with more facial hair that also tends to be coarse. Cleansing and caring for a man’s skin needs to work with the unique characteristics of his skin.
Men’s Oil, Skin and Facial Hair
Sebum, a man’s skin produces more of the natural oil secreted by the skin, helps remove toxins from the body, protect the surface layer of the skin, and together with sweat, helps regulate the body’s temperature. A man’s skin is naturally a bit oilier.
The skin renews itself by shedding dead skin cells. It’s the skin’s way of renewal – to ensure that its barrier function works well, to maintain the skin’s protective acid mantle or skin biome in a healthy condition to ward off against infection and to help the skin heal from injuries and stresses. Dead skin cells, when mixed with excess sebum, can create issues for a man’s skin.
Facial hair also helps protects the skin and helps regulate the skin’s temperature, and a man’s facial hair tends to be not only more abundant but coarser.
But what happens when there is a skin imbalance?
When excess sebum accumulates on the skin, mixed with dead skin cells and possibly shaven bits of facial hair – they become excess nourishment for bacteria that make up the skin’s natural biome. Excess bacteria growth creates an imbalance that can affect the skin’s acid mantle – the pH of the skin surface – and lead to break outs and other unwanted symptoms.
Excess oil and dead skin cells can also accumulate in the pores – causing the pores to look larger with black heads or white heads, and inflammation in the form of pimples, acne and breakouts can result.
Double Cleansing
Smart Men Double Cleanse.
5 Benefits of The Proven Double Cleansing Method:
- Cleanses without irritation
- Reduces skin surface bacteria without harming the skin’s protective acid mantle
- Removes trapped oil and dirt in pores, reducing break outs and the appearance of enlarged pores
- Softens dead skin for ease of removal without irritation.
- Softens facial hair for a smoother shave.
By first using an oil and water-based cleanser like the #1 Alpha Omega Cleanser, the accumulated oil, dirt, dead skin cells, even make-up is softened for ease of removal with splashes of water and gentle wiping with a clean face cloth. Using oil and water-based cleansers also helps to soften any trapped sebum in the pores, making it easier to remove through cleansing. This then helps reduce the appearance of large pores and breakouts, including bumpy skin.
Using an oil and water-based cleanser first (this makes so much practical sense, makes the skin bare enough to be cleansed). The #1 Alpha Omega Cleanser contains certified organic, cold pressed, high oleic sunflower oil– known to be powerful enough to prevent skin infection of premature infants – and certified organic aloe vera extract, known for its nourishment (Vitamin A, C, and E, and amino acids) and skin healing powers.
Followed by using a non-soap-based cleanser like the #2 Lathering Cleanser, creating and applying a small lather (by rubbing your palms together with water) to the skin will help lift and improve removal of dead skin cells. When the lather is thoroughly rinsed with splashes of water & gently wiped with a clean face cloth, it results in the gentle exfoliation and disinfection of the skin through the removal of excess bacteria.
Shaving for Men and Double Cleansing for the smoothest and trouble-free shave.
Shaving can be rough on the skin. A dull razor can be rough on the skin but also pulls on the hair and the skin it’s attached to and injures the skin. Shaving can also strip the skin of excess skin cells, irritating the skin. Though there is a lot of information on how to shave, the best skin care routine for men includes a proven way to shave while saving the skin. No additional skin care products needed.
Oil and water-based cleansers like the #1 Alpha Omega Cleanser– soften hair and skin, including dead skin cells. Using an oil and water-based cleanser reduces shaving blade drag on skin which helps reduce skin irritation and injury. After the first cleansing, using the oil and water-based cleanser for shaving with a razor will not only make the razor glide smoothly, but it also helps minimize skin irritation and injury.
After the oil-based cleanse, using a lathering cleanser like the #2 Lathering Cleanser for Him that generates small bubbles (lots of smaller bubbles increase surface area to pick up dirt) helps remove shaving debris and dead skin cells thoroughly. For those who use a wet/dry shaver, adding the #2 Lathering Cleanser and water to the shaver head creates a smooth lather that helps the shaver head glide smoothly against the skin, ensuring the closest shaver ever, while helping to keep the skin and shaver head clean. Don’t forget to rinse your shaver head well and your skin thoroughly with splashes of water and wipe gently with clean face cloth.
Nourishing that Protects Synergistically
Once the skin is double cleansed and bare, it can then receive nourishment and protection efficiently without interference. It doesn’t make sense to provide precious skin nourishment and protection to uncleansed skin with dead skin cells, dirt and oil. That’s a waste of time and money.
A perfect blend of water and natural oil-based lotion infused with antioxidants, vitamins and healing ingredients delivers hydration and nourishment that benefits the skin. The cold pressed, certified organic, high oleic sunflower seed oil used in the #3 Vita Conditioner for Him and Metrin Skincare System products is naturally rich in Vitamin E, has Vitamin K and precursors of Vitamin D. It is an excellent carrier oil that is proven to deliver this nourishment to the skin and helps the skin protect itself against infections. It is even proven effective in protecting premature infants with weakened immune systems against skin infections. It is just that good. All natural, sustainable, and powerful.
The #3 Vita Conditioner with its natural nourishing oil, is also great for the maintenance of facial hair, keeping it nourished, hydrated and easier to manage.
The antioxidants and natural Vitamins C, A and E, and 20 of 22 amino acids needed by humans are found in the natural, certified organic aloe vera used in the #4 Protective Lotion for Him and Metrin Skincare System products. Together with added vitamins and ingredients like allantoin helps the skin heal and recover.
The best way to protect the skin is by improving its resilience.

What is the Accelerated Performance System?

it 1-3 times per week in conjunction with the Metrin Skincare System. It contains two steps – #1 Revitalizing Glycolic Complex & #2 Reactivating Serum.
The #1 is an overnight exfoliant (with Glycolic Acid); it stimulates cell turnover for a brighter complexion.
The #2 is applied after the removal of the #1 the next morning, for extra hydration. Due to the intensive exfoliating properties in the #2, it’s important to add extra hydration so your skin does not dry out. In addition, the #2 Reactivating Serum can be used as an eye serum. This moisture rich product is ideal for combating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles – glycerin penetrates deep into the skin, helping plump it up.

Do Metrin products contain sulphates?
The Metrin Skincare System (for Her &
for Him) and Accelerated Performance System do not contain
sulfates.
Does Metrin contain parabens?
Yes, Metrin products do contain a small number of parabens. Parabens have been used in cosmetics since the 1930s and are used as a preservative. They are naturally found in many foods – including apples, blueberries, carrots, onions, and vanilla. We understand people have been talking about how parabens are bad for you, but parabens are actually necessary in cosmetic products otherwise they tend to develop bacteria and fungus and contaminate the product.
Both the Canadian and American Cancer Society have confirmed the safe use of parabens.
In 2008, the International Journal of Toxicology published The Cosmetic Ingredient Review. They consolidated over 65 submitted safety studies and more than 200 published studies, including an extensive discussion
on parabens. The report confirmed that the use of parabens in cosmetics is
safe, and noted that any parabens absorbed from use would be metabolized, easily eliminated from the body, and would not accumulate.
Does Metrin contain coconut oil?
None of our Metrin products contain coconut oil.
Does Metrin contail oil?
Some Metrin products contain organic, cold pressed, high-oleic sunflower seed oil.
How do I know if i'm using to much product?
One of the benefits of Metrin’s Skincare System is that you can tailor your usage based on your skin’s needs. For example, if you have drier skin, you may need to use more of the moisturizers.
For most people, the Metrin Skincare System (Full Size) lasts 4-6 months, the Women’s Carry Size lasts 6-8 weeks.
What ages can use Metrin?
You can use it at any age whether you’re an adult or teenager – it’s even safe for babies. Using the METRIN Skincare System from an early age is an ideal way to develop healthy, lifelong skincare routines and
