This is obviously not Josh Lim

Guess what it is? We both use Biotherm Homme!

Okay seriously. That was a bit of a tenous connection, but now that I have your attention…

One thing that I’ve discovered about getting older - I actually have to take the effort to take care of my skin.

Unlike when I was younger, last time I could basically take it for granted that I’ll have nice skin la.

It doesn’t help that I’ve been sleeping later, clubbing and smoking more.

After getting past 23 years old, I’ve found that my skincare regimen can’t really consist of just splashing water on my face anymore.

Biotherm Homme was kind enough to sponsor me some products to try out, and I must say that they do feel quite nice on my skin in addition to working - my skin seems softer, and its been helping to smooth some of the skin imperfections I have.

Here’s my skincare regime:

First, I use the spa concentrate as a pre-skincare regimen. What it does is its supposed to prep your skin before scrubbing (to reduce redness).

Then you basically go through the 3 basic steps.

Cleanse, tone & moisturise. I cleanse using Biotherm cleanser, it has a nice slight scent to it. Cleanser basically does what it says la - clean. Then toner, which is to close up pores and remove leftover dirt. After that, the moisturizer. The purpose of moisturizer is essentially to tell your skin - “Hey skin! I’ve got you all nice and moist, so please don’t secrete too much sebum/oil so I look handsome okay? KTHXBAI.”

Wasn’t that educational?

If you have bad skin, you’ll be surprised how well a simple cleanse/tone/moisturize regime can work. A friend of mine, currently dating a girl that I introduced him to, used to have pretty bad skin. You could say it looked like pizza. She (quite image concious) made him do basic skincare, and its cleared up drastically. She is pleased about the improvement. (And they are still together as of now).

So guys, do take care of your skin. Because looking like a pizza face is out, and the media has more or less dropped the term “metrosexual”. If anything, if not for yourself, take care of your skin for better chances with the opposite sex…
