Facial cleansing made easy for men. Especially in summer, facial skin can quickly become oily and shiny. Men are also affected by this. Regular facial cleansing and a healthy diet can prevent shiny skin. Find out what else you can do to impress with radiant skin in summer in this blog post.

Why is skin more oily in summer?

In summer, men's skin can become oily and shiny due to various factors. One of the main reasons is the increased production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. This is because sebum production is influenced by hormones such as testosterone, which can increase in the body at higher temperatures.

In addition, the high humidity in summer can cause the skin to absorb more moisture and become more oily. When it comes into contact with sweat and dirt, oily residues can form on the surface of the skin, clogging the pores and leading to skin problems.

A healthy diet to combat shiny skin

You are what you eat. To avoid oily and shiny skin, as a man you should pay attention to what you eat. A high-fat diet can also cause the skin to become oily and shiny more quickly. You should therefore avoid particularly fatty foods and large amounts of sweets. Another way to reduce shiny skin is to drink plenty of fluids. And no, we're not talking about beer at a summer barbecue, but water. Because well-moisturised skin is generally healthier and also detoxifies the body.

Regular facial cleansing to combat oily skin

Good nutrition is the first step against shiny facial skin in men. But what is even more important is professional facial cleansing. And yes, cosmetics are definitely an issue for modern men too. We will now show you how to optimally cleanse your skin.

  • Deep cleansing for men:
    Regular facial cleansing (at least once a day) helps to combat impurities on the facial skin and prevent it from drying out. Our special facial cleanser for men prevents oily and shiny male skin and contains only natural ingredients such as organic cucumber, organic nettle and organic orange mint.
  • Revitalising moisturiser for dull male skin:
    After cleansing their face, men should reach for a suitable moisturiser that is quickly absorbed and at the same time prevents greasiness. As paradoxical as it may sound, the right face cream can even counteract excessive sebum production.
  • Use oil-free and natural men's cosmetics:
    In general, men with shiny skin should look for natural cosmetics with little or no oils when it comes to facial care. Facial care products with natural ingredients trigger fewer allergic reactions and are generally better tolerated. And the environment will thank you for it.

Our tip: Do you want the full programme of natural, sustainable and subtly scented cosmetics for self-confident men? Then why not try our natural facial cleanser for men as well as the matching, naturally strong face cream for men.

Frequently asked questions

Warum glänzt Männerhaut im Sommer stärker?

Bei Hitze steigt die Talgproduktion, und hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit lässt die Haut mehr Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen. Zusammen mit Schweiss und Schmutz entstehen ölige Rückstände, die die Poren verstopfen und den Teint glänzen lassen.

Eine tägliche milde Reinigung wie mit dem Botanical Power Face Wash von Jungkraut hält die Haut matt.

Was hilft gegen fettige Haut bei Männern im Sommer?

Gegen fettige Sommerhaut helfen drei Dinge: eine regelmässige milde Gesichtsreinigung, eine ölfreie Feuchtigkeitspflege, die schnell einzieht, und viel Wasser statt fetthaltiger Lebensmittel.

Das Alpine Performance Face Fluid von Jungkraut zieht sofort ein und wirkt übermässiger Talgproduktion entgegen, ohne nachzufetten.

Sollte man bei glänzender Haut auf Feuchtigkeitscreme verzichten?

Nein. Fettige Haut braucht trotzdem Feuchtigkeit; ohne sie produziert sie sogar mehr Talg. Entscheidend ist eine leichte, ölfreie Textur, die schnell einzieht und keinen Film hinterlässt.

Jungkraut Formeln sind dafür entwickelt: ohne Silikone, ohne fettigen Glanz, Swiss NatureTECH®.
