​​Information + Tips + Recommendations  

​​Issue ​#1​ 

Let's be real—most guys treat skincare like it’s optional. Yes you reading this right now.. it’s a “nice-to-have” if there’s time between workouts, work, travel, business, or watching the game. But here’s the truth: taking care of your skin isn’t about being fancy. It’s about protecting your face the same way you protect your gains. It’s about performance and protection. Just like any athlete needs a game plan, your skin does too. So, stop neglecting yourself. Take care of yourself.

I thought this would be a great idea to connect with my male audience. Teaching them about the foundation of skincare in a way they’ll actually connect with. Something relatable and engaging. I'm super excited and filled with gratitude you're taking the time to read my blog! May this be helpful for you all. Thank you so much. 

Game Plan for Clear Skin: Why Every Man Needs a Skincare Routine | 5 Simple steps

1. Double Cleansing/Cleansing = Warming Up 

You wouldn't hit the field cold, right? Cleansing is your warm-up. It gets rid of dirt, sweat, oil, and all the gunk your skin collects during the day. Starting with a clean face sets the stage for everything else. Skip this step and you’re starting the game with an injury waiting to happen. 

Tip: Use a gentle cleanser, morning and night. After the gym? Definitely! You should never skip cleansing. 

2. Exfoliation = Recovery Day 

Exfoliation is like your rest day after leg day. It clears out dead skin cells that block your pores and slow your progress. Just like muscles need recovery, your skin needs a reset too. 

Tip: Exfoliate 1–2 times a week max. Overdoing it is like skipping recovery—it’ll hurt more than help. So please, no exceeding.  

 3. Moisturizer = Your Defensive Line 

A strong defense keeps the opponent out of the end zone. Moisturizer is your skin's defense. It locks in hydration and keeps your barrier strong against pollution, cold air, and post-shave irritation. Without it? You’re wide open for dryness, flakiness, and irritation.  

Tip: Apply moisturizer after washing your face or shaving, every time! 

4. Sunscreen = Your Helmet 

No athlete goes into battle without gear. Sunscreen is your helmet. It protects your face from UV rays that cause wrinkles, fine lines, sunspots, hyperpigmentation, sunburn, and even skin cancer. Every. Single. Day. Its Enviornmental! 

 Tip: Even on cloudy days, sunscreen is non-negotiable and I mean business!

​5. Hydration = Endurance 

​Your skin needs water like your body does. If you’re dehydrated, your performance suffers. Same with your face. Dry skin = dull, irritated, and tired looking. Hydrated skin = smooth, resilient, and clear. Whether you have oily skin, dry skin, combination, or normal skin you need to always hydrate.  

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my website and read this blog. I hope this post gave you a clearer understanding of how skincare works and why it matters—not just for appearance, but for performance, confidence, and overall health.

Skincare isn’t just for the spa. It’s part of the game plan and you just took the first step toward leveling up like Jinwoo.

Stay tuned for the next issue of the blog, where I’ll continue breaking down skincare like a playbook. Simple, real, and built for you.

Until next time, take care of yourself and keep showing up for your skin.
