The Routine

The 10-minute skincare routine for men in their 30s

Four minutes in the morning, five at night — the routine that compounds through your 30s.

Morning — four minutes. Rinse or gentle cleanse. Niacinamide moisturiser while skin is damp. SPF 30+ every day you will see daylight — this single step does more for how you age than everything else combined.

Evening — five minutes. Proper cleanse to remove the day. Treatment moisturiser. Twice a week, swap in targeted treatment for your concern — congestion, dullness, or the eye area.

The discipline. Eight weeks before judging results. No new products during that window. Photograph in the same light weekly if you want evidence instead of impressions.
