1. Acne

Acne is no longer a teenage problem since it cuts across people of all ages. For most men, however, acne is caused by the drastic increase in hormonal levels, especially testosterone, which makes the oil glands produce excess oil. 

For mild acne, it is recommended that you do proper cleaning of the affected areas at least twice a day. However, if the problem persists, it is wise to seek further assistance from an approved dermatologist to give expert guidance.  

1. Dry Skin

Dry skin is caused by drastic changes in weather, stress, sun exposure, and heat. Usually, dry skin issues are not as severe as those of oily skin. However, the best solution for oily skin would be ensuring you stay hydrated throughout the day and sticking to a moisturizing routine.

1. Athlete’s Foot

Athlete’s foot is a common condition that mainly affects men. It is caused by a type of fungus that thrives in humid conditions, especially in your footwear, causes ringworms and itchiness between the toes. Unfortunately, you can also contact this fungus if you get into direct contact with it. It happens in unimaginable places such as the swimming pool or touching areas that the fungus has already contaminated. However, there are simple steps through which you can curb athlete’s foot:

• Use topical antifungal creams to treat the condition if you already have it
• Avoid wearing damp shoes or wet socks- Keep your feet as clean and dry at all times

1. Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a female concern primarily due to its relations to oral contraceptives, but it is slowly becoming a beauty concern for men. It is brought about by skin producing more melanin, thus making some areas look darker than others. It is mainly brought about by excessive sun exposure, injuries, hormonal changes, and genetics. Luckily, there are remedies to help deal with this, which include:

• Applying sunscreen whenever you know that you’ll be exposed to the sun for over 30 minutes. 
• Using laser treatment methods to deal with scars after injuries. However, always keep in mind that you can only reduce these spots, but you can’t deal with them entirely.

Every person has unique beauty concerns and needs. Therefore, always be cautious enough not to follow another person’s beauty routine blindly. However, you should not avoid using the general preventive measures to cure the conditions listed above. If the condition worsens, be open to getting advice from a licensed beauty specialist.
