I'm not a guy, but I don't think skin care should be any different between genders really. I have mildly sensitive, oily to combination, acne prone skin. Not horrible acne. Just the ability to get pimples.

I recommend my routine to anyone regardless of gender if they have a similar skin type. First, take a multi-vitamin and a fish oil supplement. That will do wonders for your skin and hair. Don't forget to drink plenty of water. Whatever you're drinking now, double it for starters.

When you wash your face, use Kirk's Original Coco Castile Soap. It'll dry up any pimples you may have. When you're done, apply pure grape seed oil as a moisturizer. It has mild astringent properties that prevent it from clogging pores or causing breakouts.

If you have a patch of acne or a spot, apply rosewood oil but be sure it is diluted in your grape seed oil. That will calm down the redness and irritation of the pimple or spot. If you have blackheads, apply the rosewood oil and grape seed oil mixture every night to that area.

Don't be afraid to put these oils on your already oily skin. They absorb quickly and do not make you look greasy and they are completely non-comedogenic. If you are afraid, try the routine first at night.

These natural products are much cheaper and more effective than creams and treatments you can buy which have chemicals and cost a ton.
