Build your own tailored skincare set for men with our expertly crafted face and body care products.

At Clarins, most of the attention we get is for our luxurious line of women’s skincare products. But we’ve put the same 70 years of care, research, and hard work into men’s products, too. We’ll walk you through each one and show you how they can fit into an easy, repeatable routine you can work into your day to keep your skin looking young and healthy.

Here’s a step-by-step skincare routine for men that’s simple, effective, and easy to stick to.

Step 1: Cleanse

Start fresh. Use a gentle face wash to remove dirt, sweat, and oil buildup. ClarinsMen Active Face Wash is a great place to start.

If you’re pressed for time, you can find a multipurpose product that combines steps 1 and 2. ClarinsMen offers our Exfoliating Face Cleanser, a 2-in-1 cream specifically formulated to remove the dirt, dead skin, and excess oil that keeps your skin looking dull.

Step 2: Toner

A toner balances the skin and preps it for moisture. If your skin feels oily or you’re prone to irritation after shaving, a toner with soothing botanicals, like our After Shave Soothing Toner from ClarinsMen, can be a game-changer.

Step 3. Eye

If you’re dealing with tired-looking eyes or signs of aging, dab on an eye cream to refresh the area. This will help visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles.

Step 4. Serum

Next, gently apply a few drops of serum over your skin to deliver targeted benefits like hydration and visible brightness. Remember to do this step before moisturizing, and keep in mind that just a few drops go a long way.

Step 5: Moisturizer

Apply a lightweight moisturizer (or a richer one if you have dry skin). This step locks in moisture, soothes any irritation, and keeps skin looking fresh and healthy.

Step 6: UV Protection (Morning Only)

Sunscreen is a must—even when it’s cloudy. Use an SPF 30+ to shield your skin from UV damage and premature signs of aging.

BONUS: Shaving care (if applicable)

For those who shave, try a moisturizing shave foam or gel to minimize irritation. Shave in the direction of hair growth to avoid razor burn, then rinse with cool water to soothe the skin.

Do men need different skincare?

Men’s skin is just as vulnerable to harmful UV rays, pollutants, harsh weather conditions, and the passage of time as women’s — but because his skin is approximately 20% thicker and tends to be oilier, rougher, and more prone to clogged pores, it needs targeted skincare formulas tailored to his specific needs.

What is a good skincare routine for men?

When it comes to the best skincare for men, most men want a routine that's simple, fast, and effective. Like exercise, men's skincare routines improve their health and well-being while promoting confidence.

A basic skincare routine consists of cleansing twice daily, followed by a skin moisturizer for men, exfoliating 1-2x a week, and shaving when needed. As for all people, men should always apply SPF before leaving the house in the morning and reapply regularly throughout the day – especially when outdoors.

Can men use women's skincare?

Technically, yes. Skin is skin, but it’s not recommended. Men’s skin tends to be thicker and oilier, which means it has different needs than women’s skin.

Whether you use men’s or women’s products, the key is choosing formulas that suit your skin type and concerns—whether that’s hydration, oil control, or anti-aging. That said, men’s products are often designed for their specific needs, like post-shave care and lightweight textures.

What skincare products should men use?

A solid routine includes a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen—the essentials for healthy skin. Adding an exfoliator (a few times a week) keeps skin smooth and prevents ingrown hairs. If you shave, a soothing aftershave or hydrating toner can help reduce irritation. For extra benefits, serums and eye creams target concerns like dryness or tired-looking skin.

Can men do skincare?

Absolutely! Skincare isn’t just for women—everyone’s skin benefits from proper care. Cleansing, hydrating, and protecting your skin is about keeping it healthy, not just looking good. A simple routine can improve texture, prevent dryness or oiliness, and even reduce irritation from shaving. Think of it as self-care with visible results.

How to do skincare for men

Keep it simple: Cleanse to remove dirt and oil, moisturize to hydrate, and apply sunscreen in the morning to protect. Exfoliate a few times a week to prevent dullness and ingrown hairs. If you shave, use a soothing aftershave or toner. Want to level up? Add a serum or eye cream for extra benefits. Done!
