AFE Skincare for Men - Evening Skincare Routine
Print this Routine to use as a guide in evaluating your Skincare Program.
An evening skincare routine cleanses your skin of dirt from the air. Your skin works at night to rejuvenate and repair itself.
The first thing to do is to clean and prepare the surface of
the skin. You can use your masque and scrub at night (or in the morning if
it's more convenient). Follow with a moisturizer or night cream to seal the
surface of the skin and allow it to rest overnight.
Please Note
This routine includes ALL our products. If you are not using a specific product, just skip that step and continue with the products you are using. Remember: use products sparingly--more doesn't improve effectiveness, it only wastes product.
 Basic Skincare should be followed by everyone, every day.
Intensive Care "enhances" or "boosts" the other products.
Special Treatments address problems (puffy eyes, blemishes).
Advanced Treatments are corrective in nature (wrinkle repair, etc.).
Evening Skincare Routine
1. Cleanser - Basic Skincare
Removes surface impurities, excess oils and dead skin cells that accumulate during the day. Massage into moist skin, rinse well with lukewarm water. Repeat. You can use a cloth to rinse with, but if your skin is sensitive, we recommend a chamois cloth to avoid irritating your skin.
2. Shave - Basic Skincare
If you prefer to shave in the evening, we recommend you shave at this point. Use the razor you prefer, either electric or blade.
3. Toner - Basic Skincare
Completes the action of the cleanser by removing any remaining residue, refines pores and tones skin so that moisturizer can be easily absorbed into the surface of the skin. Spritz directly on face or moisten cotton ball and apply, avoiding eye area. Stroke over face and neck. Let dry.
4. Bio-Peptide Concentrate- Advanced Treatment - Reduces Wrinkles & Lines
Peptides carry anti-aging treatments below the surface of the skin. Benefits include wrinkle/line reduction, improvement in tone and texture and an overall younger looking skin. Use sparingly on entire face and neck.
