Skincare Secrets He Needs to Know… But Will Not Ask For

By Yunik Treasure

Let us face it, the man in your life might know his way around a toolbox or the latest gadget, but when it comes to skincare, he is more lost than a penguin in the Sahara. While he may not admit it, his skin could use some attention, and who better to guide him than you?

The Great Moisturizer Mystery

Many men believe that skincare begins and end with a bar of soap. According to a study by Mintel, only 58% of men use any kind of facial skincare product. It is time to enlighten him about the wonders of moisturizer. Explain that hydrating the skin is not about vanity; it is about preventing dryness, irritation and premature ageing.

The Sunscreen Saga

If he spends time outdoors, sunscreen is non-negotiable. The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that twice as likely as women to develop and die from skin cancer (Skin Cancer Foundation 2020). Encourage him to use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen daily. Remind him that sun damage is not a badge of honour.

Cleanse Without Stripping Away His Dignity

Introduce him to a gentle facial cleanser that suits his skin type. Harsh soaps can strip the skin of natural oils, leading to overcompensation in oil production and breakouts. A cleanser with natural ingredients will cleanse without causing World War II on his face.

Eye Creams Are Not A Conspiracy

Those fine lines and dark circle are not going to fix themselves. An eye cream can reduce puffiness and make him look less like he has just pulled an all-nighter, even if he has.

Exfoliation: Not Just for Kitchen Floors

Dead skin cells can clog pores and lead to dull complexion. Suggest a gentle exfoliator to use once or twice a week. It will leave his skin feeling smother and can even improve his shaving experience by preventing ingrown hairs.

Keep it Simple

Men appreciate straightforward routines. Start him off with a basic regimen: cleanse, moisture, and apply sunscreen. As he becomes more comfortable, he might be open to adding additional steps.

Make it a Team Effort

Suggest doing skincare routine together. It can be a fun way to bond and shows that skincare is not just a “girl thing”. Plus, sharing products is economical.

Helping the man in your life embrace skincare does not have to be a mission impossible. With a little encouragement and the right approach, he will be on his way to healthier skin and he might just thank you for it (even if he will not admit it).

Appeal to His Interest

Frame skincare in a way that resonates with him. If he is into fitness, explain that skin health is part of overall wellness. If he is competitive, mention that looking after his skin gives him an edge.

Raising Women Magazine Issue 045 – June 2026

There is a difference between living and merely functioning.
Somewhere between the notifications, deadlines, responsibilities, ambitions, and endless demands of modern life, many of us have become exceptionally good at keeping going. We show up. We deliver. We carry. We cope. Yet beneath the appearance of productivity, an important question remains: are we truly well?
In this issue of Raising Women Magazine, we explore wellness not as a trend, but as a deeper conversation about humanity, health, purpose, and presence.
Our cover feature introduces Dr. Heidi Beilis, a pioneering physician helping to shape the future of healthcare through artificial intelligence. Her work reminds us that innovation is at its best when it serves people, particularly women whose lives may be transformed by earlier diagnoses and better outcomes.
Elsewhere, we explore grief, ambition, beauty, leadership, healthspan, rest, and the invisible burdens many women carry. We ask difficult questions about what it means to thrive, not simply survive.
As I wrote in this issue’s Find Her Light column, sometimes the rest we need is not sleep. Sometimes it is space. Sometimes it is perspective. Sometimes it is permission.

Raising Women Magazine Issue 044 – May 2026

There is something deeply revealing about the way a society treats its children. Not just in policy or parenting, but in the stories it tells them, the spaces it creates for them, and the kind of world it quietly prepares them to inherit. In this Children’s Day edition, Raising Women Magazine turns its attention to childhood itself, not as a sentimental phase of life, but as the foundation upon which identity, confidence, memory, and humanity are built.

Our cover star, Ms. Rachel, represents a refreshing reminder that gentleness still matters in an age of noise. Through patience, intentionality, and emotional safety, she has transformed songs and screen time into a global classroom for millions of children and families.

Across this issue, we explore the emotional architecture of childhood, from the girls who learn too early to shrink themselves, to the children quietly carrying adult burdens before they fully understand their own. We also interrogate modern parenting, digital culture, family, safety, and the futures young people are already shaping.

Because childhood is never just preparation for life.

In many ways, it is life itself.
