How to properly clean your men's skin?

We must therefore favor moisturizing agents , because oilier skin does not mean that it is more hydrated (hyaluronic acid or glycerin for example). We will also look at exfoliating agents , such as fruit acids, to refine the outermost layer of the epidermis, composed mainly of dead cells.
