Do Men Need A Skincare Routine?

In the words of Dr. Norman Rowe, “If it weren’t for the sun, a lot of doctors would be out of business.” That says a lot about how the overall majority treat their skin – male, female, non-binary. People with darker skin tones may not be aware they need SPF – that’s because the field of dermatology has not given darker skin the same attention it has with lighter skin. A lot of funding for research on the effects of UV rays do not include those with dark complexions, which means skin cancer tends to be diagnosed much later for them.

“There’s enough UV light coming through to harm you from a small amount of walking every day, even in the winter” stresses Dr. Rowe – he’s the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon behind The Club House, NYC’s first men’s-only cosmetic surgery spa. So if you're planning to start somewhere, start with a good SPF, like Kiehl's Super Fluid Daily UV Defense SPF 50+.
