It’s a primal thing for a man—the desire to be in the great outdoors. It’s outdoors where we often feel most alive. Many feel that the grandeur of nature speaks to a higher power.

On the other hand, it’s not such a primal thing for a man to be thinking about the right skincare products for his adventures in the open air. C’mon, we’re men. Skincare? Sure, might as well grab a fanny pack too.

But in all seriousness, putting our pride aside for just a small moment, might it be worth it for the outdoor enthusiast to consider the benefits of simple skincare? After all, it is the 21st century and we’re no longer living in caves. 

The bottom line is that Mother Nature’s conditions can often be harsh, and there’s no reason why we should avoid following some skincare basics that will keep our faces feeling fresh, hydrated, and healthy. Urbane has a few different products that are perfect for the outdoorsy fella and which can be applied quickly and without a fuss. With natural ingredients these products are eco-friendly, and they promise to protect and nourish your skin no matter what the elements you might be facing.

Let’s begin our skincare education with a new word, gentlemen: Serum. Serums are essential when it comes to skincare—they’re lightweight, meant to be applied after a thorough cleansing of your face, and filled with active ingredients that penetrate your skin deep. Some claim that they’re the most important part of one’s skincare routine! Click here to see the two top-notch serum’s Urbane can offer you. The next time you plan a day outside, try using one of these bad boys before you head-out – odds are you’ll be glad you did.

Since we’re trying to keep things simple, the only other skincare step we’d suggest for the male outdoor enthusiast is applying a moisturizer. Honestly if you’re not at least doing this one simple thing for your skin, you’re living in the dark ages (we’ve established it’s the 21st century...2019...). After a long day of being in the sun at the beach, or enduring windy, freezing conditions on the slopes, you might even hear your skin whisper a verbal thanks if you apply a moisturizer after your well-earned shower. Click here to see the various Urbane moisturizers and deprive your face from feeling fresh not one minute more!

So to reiterate, it’s natural to love being outside, enjoying an active lifestyle and exploring all that nature has to offer. But it should also be natural to want your skin to live its best life. If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors, consider adopting an easy skincare routine—we don’t think you’ll be disappointed. And yes, you should still leave the fanny pack at home.
