How long will/do the products last?
If using the products as directed (daily for Day & Night, twice daily for Shower) and the amount per application (2-3 pumps for Day & Night, 1-2 pumps for Shower), your Man Up products have been designed to last you approximately 3 months.
The products also have a 2 year shelf life, so will still be effective up to 2 years, so you can take your time using them if you prefer.
Ideally, we recommend storing your products in a cool, dark place or room, not exposed to direct sunlight (for best longevity and key ingredient stability).
How do I apply the products correctly?
SEE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS FOR HOW TO APPLY ON EACH PRODUCT PAGE
DAY: Apply after your morning shower to a clean, completely dry face. 2-3 pumps is enough. Apply evenly and gently across your whole face using your fingertips. Make sure to particularly target the ageing areas (bags, crows feet, forehead, cheeks and nose). Clean shaved or short stubble: finish with the rest of the lower face, chin and neck. If you have facial hair, feel free to skip these areas. Ideally, avoid sweating for 20 minutes. Used once daily.
NIGHT: Apply before bed after your shower to a clean, completely dry face. 2-3 pumps is enough. Apply evenly and gently across your whole face using your fingertips. Make sure to particularly target the ageing areas (bags, crows feet, forehead, cheeks and nose). Clean shaved or short stubble: finish with the rest of the lower face, chin and neck. If you have facial hair, feel free to skip these areas. Night may be applied slightly more heavily than Day (which should be lightly applied). Used once nightly.
SHOWER: Apply in the shower to a wet face, before rinsing off under running water straight after. 1-2 pumps is enough. Using both hands, apply in circular motions, making sure to cover your whole face and neck. You don't have to scrub hard - the ingredients will do the job for you. Used twice daily.
NOTE: Day and Night will work best when applied directly after using Shower. Shower is crucial to clean and remove everything off your face, prepping your skin for Day and Night to be their most effective.
Who can and who should use Man Up?
Everyone can use Man Up skin care products. That includes adults, elderly, children, teens, men and women. All skin types.
Skin ageing typically starts at age 25, so if you are near this age or over it, Man Up is especially appropriate for you.
Why do I need to wear SPF in my daily skin care process? What does SPF 15 and Broad Spectrum mean?
Sun damage is the cause of up to 90% of premature skin ageing. The number one, most important thing you must do in skin care to keep your skin young is protect your face from damage from UV rays. You need broad spectrum SPF as part of your daytime product and skin care routine.
Man Up Day is Broad Spectrum SPF 15. SPF 15 means it will take 15 times as long for your skin to redden than it would if you weren’t wearing any sunscreen. SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays. Broad Spectrum means that it helps protect the skin from UVA rays as well as UVB rays.
Why should Man Up Night only be used at night time?
Retinol (Vitamin A), the superstar of anti-ageing and hallmark ingredient of Man Up Night, makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so is best used at night. Retinol is also itself extremely sensitive to light and will break down with light-exposure, so is less effective as an ingredient during the day.
Why do I feel a tingling / stinging sensation on my face with using Man Up Night?
You may or may not feel a tingling or slight stinging sensation/feeling on your skin initially with using Man Up Night. This is normal. This is caused by the ingredient Retinol (Vitamin A).
Your skin will adjust to Retinol and get used to it's effect within 2-3 weeks typically, and then you will no longer feel anything. If you find the initial sensation uncomfortable, we suggest you apply Man Up Night every second night only to begin with, and go for a light application of the moisturiser, until your skin adjusts and you no longer feel anything. Then you can transition to every night use.
Retinol is the best and most important anti-ageing ingredient on the market. We have chosen a concentration of Retinol that has been proven to provide the most effective anti-ageing results, but is still safe for all skin types.
