Finding skincare products for black men is easy but looking for be an effective skincare system that offers more than the basics for black men is difficult task until now!
Starting a basic skincare line can be easy as printing your name on private label but formulating a skincare system that goes beyond the basics requires passionate, dedication, and expertise. Cole Patterson, skincare specialist, licensed professional & beauty educator is proud to stand in front her name and behind the brand with proven results. A skincare line that's actually formulated by design for men using a methodical approach to customize ingredients to achieve optimum results.
We are no private label, Cole is a signature brand that is tailored to address the needs skin concerns, issues, and problems. Although the daily skincare routine for both men and women include cleanse, exfoliate, and moisture regularly to maintain healthy skin on a basic level. However to manage skin health and promote skin wealth requires multifunctional, multi-purposeful & multi-task products to go beyond the basics.
A skincare regimen should not included no more than 3 steps and should require less than 5 products. Having more does not mean its better therefore to simplify steps quality over quantity is idea highlighted in my latest article “Simplifying Men’s Skincare.” Effective skincare should be efficient providing less effort more results. Proven skincare and a minimalist routine is the way to timeless results.
A man’s skin rarely requires added moisture because the physiology of a man’s skin is usually oily due to hormones their body produces. The higher amount of male hormone the more sebum is produced. Due to their muscle mass, metabolism & an active life style a man looses water more rapidly therefore, hydration is extremely important to keep the skin ageless and the body feeling youthful.
Cole Skincare for Men advanced formulation offers maximum benefits with minimum steps. It’s simple and easy to use rather you choose to cleanse in the shower or in front of the sink either way our active ingredients are proven to work.
