An Introduction to Skin Care; Where to Begin, for Beginners

An Introduction to Skin Care; Where to Begin, for Beginners

Aug 29, 2023Lisa Shelley

Neal’s Yard Remedies has recently welcomed Ty Rawang onto our Calgary team as our Digital Marketing Coordinator, and our brand new brand enthusiast!

With Ty’s sincere desire to test out the NYR product range, and for the first time in his life adopt a skincare routine of his own, it has been our privilege to introduce him to some choice products, and a customized selection of skin support with targeted goals in mind.

Ty is 26-years young, and admits to having never taken care of his skin. He has also simultaneously been discouraged by it; he notices inconsistency as a formal frustration, with periods of oiliness, then a swing to what seems like dryness, irritation, and hypersensitivity.

The great news?

After a mere two weeks of conscious product use, Ty is celebrating his new habit of holistic skincare, and already apparent positive results including a more even and consistent skin tone, and a welcome reduction in whiteheads.

Taking care of the skin is a worthy investment. Topical products can be incredibly therapeutic and transformative, and at Neal’s Yard Remedies, we further advocate for doing so in a natural, of-the-Earth, grassroots kind of way.

When we have the privilege of working with young skin, we also believe that a healthy skincare routine early on can be the gateway to timeless aging.

Magic Behind the Mirror, featuring Ty

Ty has normal to oily skin with a side of sensitivity, and has endeavoured to overhaul his daily skincare habits by adopting both a morning and evening routine, and has chosen the following collection of products with this in mind:

Ultimately, we wanted Ty to feel relief, and to enjoy the ease of care that unfolds with an effective skincare routine.

We’ve asked him to choose his top three products, and he’s added a bonus product as well.

NYR Men Collection

The NYR Men’s Collection is a natural and organic skin care range designed to offer men a simple yet highly effective routine that feels easy to commit to. This includes a dedicated selection of products including shaving cream, cleansers, body wash, moisturisers and more.

A good skincare routine can be incredibly simple and can yield impressive results.

While men typically age slower than women, once they begin aging the signs may occur more quickly.

With the use of even three products each day, and a few minutes of time, it is expected and usual to observe positive results.
