Have you had that moment? The one where you look in the mirror and start noticing grey hairs and fine lines that you’d swear weren’t there the day before?
The grey hairs aren’t our department—but if you’re wondering how to fix those fine lines before they turn into wrinkles, we’ve got the info you’re looking for. Anti-aging skincare is about unlocking the powerful anti-aging benefits of some of the best ingredients for your skin. And if it sounds complicated, don’t worry: using these products comes down to just a few simple steps.
Here’s why it’s a good idea to invest in your skin while you’re young.
What is anti-aging skincare for men?
First, let’s get one thing straight: anti-aging skincare won’t stop you from aging.
(Sorry!)
But what it does do is help to improve the look and feel of you face as you age. It reduces the appearance of dry circles and puffiness around the eyes while diminishing wrinkles and dark spots, meaning that your face looks young for longer. It makes your skin look better in the moment by plumping it, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles; over the long term, it also lightens dark spots, boosts collagen, and restores elasticity to your face thanks to powerful ingredients.
SAVAGE's anti-aging products are packed with peptides and vitamins that moisturize skin while rejuvenating it. They also pack the benefits of hyaluronic acid and plant stem cells to keep your skin youthful and glowing. To soften lines and even skin tone, our anti-aging products are also formulated with vitamin E, organic argan, organic green tea, and reshi mushrooms.
How to use anti-aging skincare?
Even if you’re a total noob to skincare for men, you’ve probably heard about collagen. This is a protein in your skin that keeps it taught and plump. As you age, the collagen layer in your skin begins to break down, which leads to fine lines and eventually, wrinkles.
Many anti-aging skincare products and wrinkle defence serums contain collagen. Using these skincare products helps to replenish and restore your skin’s collagen layer, which lets you benefit from it for longer.
Consistency is king for great skin
The most expensive, complex, scientific skincare ritual in the world won’t help you much if you’re regularly cutting corners or skipping it. Unless you’re particularly passionate about skincare (and if you are, go nuts!), you can probably skip the 12-step routines and facial massages, and stick to a few regular steps.
The most important part of skincare for men is consistency. Finding a consistent skincare routine that works for you and performing it regularly is the best way to effectively keep your skin from aging.
Creating a morning skincare routine
If you know your skin type, it’s a lot easier to find the specific skincare products that will help you create an ideal routine. That being said, even if you haven’t discovered your skin type, you can also try balancing skincare products that work for oily, dry and sensitive skin.
Men’s anti-aging skincare in the morning
In the morning, the most important elements of your anti-aging skincare routine to keep in mind are:
- Cleansing: Washing your face with a gentle cleanser in the morning helps remove impurities.
- Moisturizing: …that being said, cleansing your face can strip some of its protective barrier. Moisturizing helps replenish that barrier and locks moisture into your skin, preventing it from feeling dry and itchy.
- SPF: Even in the cold, cloudy winter months, the sun’s UV rays can still damage your skin. Adding sunscreen to your skincare routine plays a role in diminishing wrinkles, so don’t hesitate to add some SPF to your day.
Want a morning skincare routine you can do while half asleep? SAVAGE’s Morning Set is right there with you, bright and early.
Men’s anti-aging skincare at night
- Cleansing: Your night-time skincare starts the same way as the morning. Cleansing your skin twice a day is a great way to remove the dirt and grime of daily life. And it’s not just good for your skin; it’s also great for your bed sheets.
- Exfoliate: If you exfoliate every day, be sure to use a gentle exfoliant that won’t irritate your skin. Otherwise, keep it to once or twice a week at most.
- Peptide serum: Get skincare that works while you sleep, so that you can benefit from the anti-aging benefits of peptides and wake up feeling and looking refreshed.

Include a routine for the skin on your neck
Finally, once you’ve applied your skincare, don’t wipe the excess off on your hand towel and head out of the door: you’re not done yet.
The signs of aging are most prominent on your face, but that’s not the only place they appear. The skin on your neck endures the same irritants like pollution and UV light (and the passage of time). And even if there was a way to stop your face from ever aging, would you want a youthful face sitting on an old neck?
To benefit from anti-aging skincare, treat your neck to the same care you give your face. Cleanse it and moisturize it with a wrinkle serum for men to help maintain your collagen, keep the skin firm and plump, and to prevent the onset of the dreaded “turkey neck”.
And hey, if you’ve still got some anti-aging serum on your fingers, rub that stuff in: you hands work hard and deserve some love, too.
Looking for products to build a simple anti-wrinkle routine?
It’s never too early—or too late—to start building a skincare routine with affordable men’s skincare products that help you look and feel your best. If you’re wondering how to start using anti-aging skincare products, we recommend:
A peptide-packed wrinkle serum: Peptides help boost and replenish the amino acids in your skin, which are the base layer of collagen production. They also help repair your skin barrier, which can be damaged by exposure to UV rays.
SAVAGE’s Anti-Aging Peptide Serum is a great way to add these benefits to your routine. To use it, simply apply it to you face after cleaning and toning, if applicable. Allow it to absorb, and then apply a moisturizer.
A balancing moisturizer: Moisturizer should keep your skin hydrated—but it can also do so much more than that. SAVAGE’s Balancing Moisturizer helps to balance your skin’s pH levels, promoting elasticity and softness. It’s also a great cleanser for all skin types, so whether you have oily, dry, or normal skin, you can benefit from premium skincare products that are perfect for you.
