Why Every Man Should Be Exfoliating Right Now: Summer Prep for Your Skin

As the Australian summer sets in, your skin faces new challenges, more sweat, more oil, more UV exposure. For men, whose skin is naturally thicker and often oilier, this can mean clogged pores, breakouts, and rough texture. The good news? There’s one simple step that can transform your skin and make the rest of your routine work harder: exfoliation.

Too often seen as “optional” or even “unnecessary,” exfoliation is actually a game-changer for men’s skin health. Here’s why now is the perfect time to start,  and how you can do it right.

What Exfoliation Actually Does

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells that sit on the surface of your skin. When they build up, they cause dullness, congestion, and irritation. By sloughing them away, you:

• Keep pores clear, reducing breakouts and blackheads
  
• Smooth rough texture (goodbye, flaky patches)
  
• Prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps after shaving
  
• Boost the absorption of moisturisers and SPF
  
• Leave your skin looking fresher, brighter, and healthier
• Think of it as hitting reset on your skin, so it performs at its best.

The Mr Jones Face Scrub: Simple, Effective, Made for Men

Our Mr Jones Face Scrub is designed specifically for men’s skin, thicker, oilier, and prone to irritation. Its fine, natural exfoliating particles work to:

• Lift away dead skin cells without scratching
  
• Unclog pores and clear oil build-up
  
• Prime your skin for a smoother shave
  
• Leave you with skin that feels fresh, not stripped
  
  

How to use it:

1. Start with damp skin (ideally after cleansing with our Face Cleanse).
   
2. Squeeze a small amount of scrub into your hands.
   
3. Massage gently over your face in circular motions. Focus on areas prone to roughness like the T-zone, jawline, and beard area.
   
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
   
5. Follow with Face Moisturiser to lock in hydration.
   
   

Pro tip: Exfoliate 2–3 times a week in summer, but avoid using it on sunburnt or irritated skin.

Why Summer Makes Exfoliation Non-Negotiable

Exfoliation matters all year round, but it’s especially powerful in warmer months:

• Sweat and oil build up faster in humid weather.
  
• Outdoor exposure increases UV damage, exfoliation helps even out skin tone and keeps your SPF working effectively.
  
• Shaving irritation is more common with sweat and bacteria on the skin; exfoliation prevents ingrown hairs.
  

Just remember: exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun, so applying SPF daily is a must.
