Alright bro, let’s cut the crap and talk about something that might make you roll your eyes, but trust me, it’s worth it—taking care of your skin.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. “Skincare? That’s for women and pretty boys.”

But hear me out—this isn’t about pampering yourself, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, or smelling like a bed of roses. This is about not looking like a dried-up prune before you hit 50 and, more importantly, not getting smacked in the face by skin cancer.

But look, I get it.

You’re out there every day, busting your ass on the job site, surrounded by all this macho energy. The last thing you want to think about is whether your face is glowing or if you’ve got a smooth complexion. But here’s the deal—your skin is out there battling the elements just as hard as you are. And if you don’t give it some love, it’s going to give up on you faster than Usain Bolt running a hundred-meter sprint.

And don’t think for a second that skin cancer’s only something for the pale guys to worry about.

Cancer doesn’t give a damn about your skin color. If you’re out in the sun all day, it’s coming for you just as much as the dude next to you. It’s time to ditch the idea that taking care of your skin is somehow “gay.”

Plus, it’s not like you HAVE to follow Hailey Bieber’s 30-minute skincare routine or watch Oprah.

Dude, it’s simple and takes less than a few minutes.

Here’s what you do.

In the morning and at night, wash your face. You don’t need anything fancy—just something that gets rid of all the dirt, sweat, and whatever else your skin’s picked up. Then slap some moisturizer on your face. 

Don’t think of it as some girly ritual—it’s just like putting oil in your truck. Keeps things running smooth, ya know? Your skin’s been through hell all day, so help it out a bit.

Finally, use an exfoliating cream to scrub your face at least twice a week to get rid of dead skin. If you don’t have the balls to buy one, blend some sugar and oil together to make a loose paste—it’s literally that simple. This will keep your skin looking fresh and prevent annoying breakouts. The easiest time is at night, so your skin has time to chill before the next day.

And there you go, now you have a basic skincare routine that’s as easy as driving a screw into 2×4.

Was that so hard?

Nah, man.

If you’re feeling a little adventurous, you can even try a face mask or an eye cream once a month. You might think it’s ridiculous, but once you see how good your skin looks, you’ll be hooked and asking your wife where she buys hers.

At the end of the day, your skin is your biggest organ—it’s what’s holding you together. So, stop buying into the outdated bullshit that taking care of your skin is only for women and pretty boys.

Be smart, be tough, and keep your skin in the game for the long haul.
