The routine
A simple routine for men: a face wash suited to your skin type, moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF 30+ in the morning; face wash, one active if you need it, and moisturiser at night. When shaving, use a sharp razor, shave with the grain and moisturise afterwards.

Skin type matters more than gender. Oily skin wants a gel formula and dry skin a cream, whoever is using it.
If you have a beard
If you have a beard, wash the skin underneath and not just the hair, moisturise the skin to reduce flaking and itch, use beard oil or balm sparingly if it feels dry, and keep the neckline and cheek line tidy so the shape stays sharp.

Get a routine for your own skin
Saundarya AI is an AI skin analysis and grooming app that reads a single selfie and returns a personalised report: face shape, skin type, detected skin concerns with the visual evidence behind them, a morning and night skincare routine, product picks at three budgets, and an 8-week improvement plan.
Generic advice is a starting point. A scan reads your skin type, concerns and beard or grooming needs on your own face, shows the visual evidence and a confidence score, and builds a morning and night routine around it. The first full analysis is free.
This is general cosmetic guidance, not medical advice. See a dermatologist for skin that is painful, spreading, scarring or not improving after 8-12 weeks.
