Skin hygiene advices for men

Before facing the working day, wake up with a shower using ClarinsMen Shampoo & Shower. This cleansing product gently invigorates the body from head to toe. In a single step, you're washed and ready. Your body and hair are moisturised with panthenol in this shampoo and shower combo. Finish your shower with a splash of cold water.


Besides cleansing your body and hair, cleansing your face twice a day is the perfect first step to include in your men's skincare routine to keep skin feeling energised and clean. Our ClarinsMen Active Face Wash is designed to give you an ultra-clean complexion by helping to clear out those impurities that clog your pores and tackle daily grime and pollutants. It’s made with the gentle purifying power of meadowsweet extract and moringa extract to help energise your skin and prepares it for shaving. The addition of bison grass extract helps energise the skin.


Your skin is clean and clear, hair is shiny, the body is invigorated and set to tackle a busy day. For maximum results, use ClarinsMen Antiperspirant Deo Roll-On.

How to deep clean your face ?

Whatever your skin type or age, the best way to deeply cleanse and purify your face is to exfoliate once or twice a week.


Scrub your face with One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with organic soapwort and kiwi extracts to make your skin fresh, soft and radiant! This scrub, with organic golden gentian extract and lemon balm extract from the Domaine Clarins, helps to soothe, soften the skin. Avoid the area around the eyes, as it is the most delicate part of the face. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all traces of the scrub and impurities.


Advice: apply the scrub in the shower after washing your hair to allow the steam to open your pores.

Shaving routine products

Shaving advices for men: shaving cream, shaving gel or shaving oil?

Shaving is a fundamental part of some men’s daily routine.


As long as you properly exfoliate beforehand, your skin won’t be susceptible to bumps or ingrown hairs caused by shaving.


To achieve a better, faster shave, ClarinsMen Shave and Beard Oil prepares sensitive skin and forms a protective barrier against the razor blade. Busy men love this oil because it effectively softens even the most stubborn stubble.


It’s an expert skincare product used alone as a shaving oil or in combination with ClarinsMen Foaming Shave Gel. Apply this foaming gel to wet skin on the areas to be shaved. The soothing and cooling action is formulated to prevent razor burn and adapted for sensitive skin. Its thick creamy foam gives you a close shave on the first stroke with flawless glide over your skin. The razor gently eliminates stubble as it moves over your skin.


It contains the invigorating ClarinsMen complex with bison grass extract that helps make skin stand up to shaving.

Do I need to apply aftershave post-shave?

Whether you have a beard or shave regularly, it’s important to pay special attention to skin in this area compared to the rest of your face. This means using an aftershave balm like our ClarinsMen After Shave Soothing Gel to help soothe those signs of ‘razor-stressed’ skin, such as irritation, dryness or razor burn.


Our non-greasy balm contains organic blackcurrant extract that help to calm irritations and redness while energizing and stimulating your skin thanks to bison grass and gymnema extracts. 

Do I need an eye cream in my men skincare routine ?

As you get older, the delicate skin around your eyes becomes more prone to showing the first signs of ageing, such as creasing and fine lines.


That's why using an eye care product, such as our Double Serum Eye and ClarinsMen Energizing Eye Gel, is an important step in starting your age-defying strategy - and kicking those fine lines to the curb.


Been burning the candle at both ends? Eye creams help achieve a lift effect, firm the skin, and reduce puffiness, for a revitalised and well-rested look.


How you apply your moisturiser can make a difference, too. We recommend adding a small drop of product to your fingertips and applying gently to your eye contours, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow's feet.

Which ClarinsMen moisturiser should I choose?

Another essential step for your skincare routine is moisturising the skin to keep skin healthy looking and hydrated.


It's a good idea to use moisturiser even if you're not prone to dry skin, as regular exposure to environmental factors can cause fine lines and rougher skin texture - something that moisturising can help to combat.

We recommend choosing a moisturiser based on your preferred consistency.


Formulated as a liquid, balm or gel, ClarinsMen moisturisers provide hydration at any adult age for even the most sensitive skin in need of nourishment. Regardless of which moisturiser you apply every day, it relieves skin with complete hydration, designed for an active lifestyle and seasonal changes.


ClarinsMen Super Moisture Gel provides crisp, comforting freshness on the skin like a blast of cool air. Instantly refreshing upon application! ClarinsMen Super Moisture Liquid SPF20 helps to protect from UV rays. ClarinsMen Super Moisture Balm intensely hydrates sensitive and dehydrated skin, recommended for use during cold snaps or in extreme conditions.


Clarins Research blended organic leaf of life extract which really helps kick-start the skin's natural hydration, with bison grass extract to give all the products in this line of moisturisers soothing and energising properties.

What are the best age-defying products for men?

Over time, men's skin becomes less firm and elastic.


Their faces, marked by wrinkles and fine lines, may add a distinguished charm, but the ClarinsMen range offers targeted age-defying products for men to apply morning and night to reduce visible signs of ageing.


After cleansing your skin, several steps are recommended. The eye area requires a special care to target puffiness, dark circles and crow's feet, such as our Double Serum Eye brighten up your eyes. Continue with Double Serum Light Texture, containing benefits for all skin types, even men's skin


Finish off with the ClarinsMen Wrinkle-Smoothing & Firming Care, designed for anyone who wants to give their skin a looking youthful boost. It visibly reduces the first signs of ageing, smoothing wrinkles and firming the skin.

Moisturizing cream range for men

Which product should I choose for radiant skin? 

We expanded our men’s range by developing the ClarinsMen Energy expert range with the ClarinsMen Energising Gel and the ClarinsMen Energising Eye Gel to complement moisturisers or age-defying products that target the effects of ageing on the face.


Oxidative stress due to an intense lifestyle damages the powerhouse. A packed schedule, lunch on the go, jet-lag, family life, daily stress, fatigue and lack of sleep can all cause skin to appear tired and dull.


Clarins Research demonstrated that an intense, hectic and stressful lifestyle directly impacts your skin, resulting in a loss of radiance, signs of fatigue, and premature effect of ageing on the skin face.


Men's skin, influenced by androgens such as testosterone, is generally about 25% thicker than women's skin. Men's skin naturally expends more energy than women's skin.
