A simple 4-step men’s skincare routine

When it comes to skincare, less really can be more.

Your skin doesn’t need a complicated line-up to look healthy, feel clean + stay protected. What it does need is a little more care than a quick splash of water or a scrub with body wash.

Your face is exposed to the elements every day ~ sun, sweat, dirt, shaving, sport ~ so it deserves products that are made for the job. The good news? A few simple steps are all it takes to keep skin clear, smooth, + resilient.

With Adashiko, you’ll find a men’s skincare routine that keeps things simple, effective, + versatile. Formulated with ingredients that suit every skin type, our products are loved by both men + women.

Here’s how to get started on a men’s skincare routine it in 4 simple steps:

Step 1: Cleanse ~ the foundation of healthy skin

A good cleanse sets the tone for everything else. Skipping it can leave dirt, sweat + bacteria sitting on your skin, which often leads to clogged pores + breakouts.

Long-time Adashiko lover Cameron Jones swears by our Collagen Cleanse:

“The Collagen Cleanser is a winner because I do a lot of contact sports - so it’s good to keep the face clean. I also find the collagen cleanse bar far less abrasive than standard face washes for men. I’ve really seen a consistent improvement with my face skin quality.”

Our Collagen Cleanse bar is enriched with pure peptide marine collagen + skin-supporting actives like Hyaluronic Acid, CoQ10 + Licorice Extract. It lathers into a lightweight foam that clears sweat, oil + build-up without stripping your skin. 

Step 2: Hydrate + protect

Your skin needs daily hydration to function at its best. Our Collagen + Noni Gel is lightweight, fast-absorbing + packed with antioxidants to calm, soothe + lock in moisture. Perfect post-shave or after a workout, it leaves skin feeling fresh + smooth without a greasy finish.

Step 3: Exfoliate 1–3 times a week

Exfoliation helps to prevent clogged pores, reduce rough patches + keep your skin clear. If you’re using our Collagen Cleanse, you can combine it with our Polishing Exfoliant:

• Dispense an almond-sized amount of powder for light to medium exfoliation.
  
• For a deeper exfoliation, simply add more powder as desired.

Its ultra-fine bamboo granules gently buff away dead skin cells, giving you smoother skin without irritation.

Regular exfoliation also improves the absorption of your other skincare. Learn more about why bamboo is the gentlest yet most effective choice in our blog on the 4 benefits of a natural face exfoliator.

Step 4: Don’t skip the SPF

UV damage is the leading cause of premature ageing in men’s skin. Daily SPF protects against fine lines, pigmentation + collagen breakdown.

When choosing a sunscreen, look for one that:

✔ Meets the new SPF testing + labelling standards for proven protection
✔ Is broad-spectrum (UVA + UVB protection)
✔ Feels lightweight + comfortable enough for everyday use

Apply SPF every morning as the final step in your skincare routine, after moisturising.

Reapply throughout the day as directed by your chosen brand’s instructions ~ especially if you’re outdoors, sweating, or playing sport ~ to keep your skin protected.
