Our 8 Best Anti Aging Products for Men

It’s a common adage that men tend to ‘look better with age’. While that can be true, there’s no harm in taking preventative measures to keep your skin looking fresh.

Especially if you've started to notice signs of aging—like creases between your eyebrows, wrinkles on your forehead and around your eyes, or brown spots from sun exposure—creeping in.

From the age of 20, our body starts making less collagen and antioxidants, leaving skin drier, rougher, and prone to aging.

These concerns can be easily targeted and minimised with a simple anti-aging routine to leave your skin feeling and looking smoother.

From skincare beginners to the more experienced and advanced, find out how to take care of men's face skin with a skincare routine for men.

So, let’s dive into our best anti-aging products for men!

Beginner Anti-Aging for Men

If you’re new to skincare, we’ve made it easy for you and broken it down into 3 simple steps.

1. Cleanse

If your version of cleansing is just some soap or a splash of water on your face, we hate to break it to you but that's just not going to cut it. Wondering why you should cleanse? Your face can accumulate dirt, pollution, and oils that water alone can’t remove. Over time, these pollutants can build up and damage your face by creating more wrinkles or acne.

2. Moisturise

If you’re regularly shaving your face, it’s time to show it a bit of love with a moisturiser for men. Shaving can strip the skin, leaving it dry and sensitive, so it’s time to add some hydration back. Check out this moisturiser from American Crew.

3. Sunscreen

Even if you’re stuck in the office all day, you need to apply a daily sunscreen. The extreme UV Index in Australia means UV rays are the No. 1 factor in skin damage and aging. Excessive sun exposure results in sun spots, wrinkles, and skin cancer in extreme cases. Be sure to apply your sunscreen at least 20 minutes before heading out the door so the product has time to absorb into the skin. Remember: if you’re spending time outdoors, swimming, or sweating, your sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hours to maintain maximum protection.

Intermediate Anti-Aging for Men

So you understand the importance of cleansing, moisturising and SPF but you're ready take your skincare to the next level? Here is a few extra steps you can start to incorporate into your anti-aging skincare routine.

1. Exfoliator

In terms of the difference between mens and womens skincare, they’re pretty close. But men usually have facial hair to deal with, which means exfoliation should be a key step in any mens skin routine. Start by exfoliating your skin every other night after cleansing.

2. Serum

Heard of a serum but have no idea what it actually is? Serums are clear, and they’re normally applied before moisturisers to help lock nutrients into the skin. They deliver high concentrations of active ingredients and deliver various benefits, such as anti-aging, combating redness, reducing acne, hydrating, or brightening the skin. Essentially, serums get you the specific results you want.

Advanced Anti-Aging for Men

You know what you're doing here but maybe you're looking for a few more 'ka-pow' products to really level up on your skincare game. Here's our recommended steps to tackle anti-aging head on.

1. Retinol

Meet the superhero of anti-aging: Retinol. Retinol is derived from Vitamin A. This ingredient increases cell turnover and stimulates collagen production. Consistent use of products containing Retinol can decrease the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles (winning!).

• Because Retinol is a strong ingredient, it needs to phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. Plus, ensure that you use a daily SPF (but you should already be using it, right?). That’s because Retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity, especially to the sun.

2. Eye cream

Do you look in the mirror in the morning and see dark circles under your eyes? Unfortunately, a shot of espresso won’t help, but an eye cream can.

3. Mask

Face masks are a great tool to target a specific skin concern, like acne breakouts, a mottled complexion, or aging. Masks are concentrated, focused treatments, so you’re likely to see results fast.
