Achieve Great Looking Skin with Lumin

Skin was meant to look this good.

Guys, you can’t neglect your skin any longer. Sure your girl tosses you some “cream” to put on your face but that is not meant for you nor will it do anything to actually improve your skin. Men’s skin is a whole other ball game. For starters our skin is much thicker, tougher, and for some we have beards that grow out of skin. That is why we took a look at Lumin’s Skin Management for Men lineup to see how we could improve and take care of our skin.

Lumin crafts products tailored to your skin type and formulate regimens that actually take your skin issues head-on. Kinda like this dude who looks like he’s ready for skin care war games. But skincare is not the only game here- Lumin brings men a lineup of skin, hair, and body essentials to get you (and keep you) looking your best all year long. Our crew nabbed a few of the skincare essentials to give it 30 days of use to see if this skincare routine is worth the hype.

INITIAL IMPRESSION

Just looking through the Lumin website we instantly saw they did not leave any man behind. From their wide range of skincare products, to their hair and body sets/kits, there was not one part of our body that wouldnt have something for it. Lumin’s scale of products from cleaners, to exfoliators and moisturizers really did span all aspects of skin repair and maintenance. The ingredient list used were things naturally occurring in the environment that help all skin types. There was not one ingredient we didn’t recognize and included some common skincare essentials like shea butter, charcoal, apple fruit extract, vitamin C, and even coffee to name a few.

Once we dove into the vast amount of skincare products, we found ourselves wanting to try them all but not knowing where to start. So, we landed on the Expert Maintence Set to cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize... and then some. This is their fundamental 3-step routine with an extra, targeted boost. Clogged pores, dark circles, and early aging signs (a.k.a. wrinkles) were set for bye-bye-ville in no time.

Our initial crew impression: The Lumin Line Up is no Joke.

TESTING IT OUT

No better way to test out a skin/body care lineup than heading to the bathroom sink…

For 30 days our crew tested out the products to compare the prior results before using the Lumin and after. While after the 30 days, we barely had product left (you get quite the amount with each order which we like), we did not have any lingering doubt out the legitimacy of these products.


Charcoal Cleanser

Helps With:

  • Excess oil

  • Dead skin

  • Pollution impact

  • Clogged pores

Off-the-shelf soap can really dry out your skin, upset its pH balance, and cause serious damage. Lumin Charcoal Cleanser safely and effectively removes gunky oil, daily grime, and pollution and dirt buildup so your skin'll stay as clean as fresh kicks, right out the box.

If you are an outdoorsy kind of guy or just like to get dirty out there, your skin builds up some nasty stuff. Once we rubbed the charcoal cleanser into our skin, we felt this clumpy gunky buildup start to pull off our skin. The feeling is hard to describe but it was like someone took a vacuum to our pores and got the grit out.

Duuude score: 9/10 -  Nearly perfect.


Dark Circle Defense

Helps With:

  • Under-eye dark circles

  • Crows feet

  • Fine lines

  • Puffiness

The Dark Circle Defense is the perfect assist against under-eye darkness, wrinkles, and puffiness. You might as well call it what it is, a game-changer. How this works is before bed, daba light layer of Dark Circle Defense serum below the eyes until it's soaked up. In the morning, give your face a quick rinse with warm water to remove any excess.

Our crew let the DCD do it’s job while we slept and we woke up with a little less darkness (sorry you Batman Dark Eye Fans) underneath our eyes. There is no strong odor so sleeping with it on was a breeze. Simple to use, simple to do, and simply legit.

Duuude score: 10/10


Anti-Wrinkle Serum

Helps With:

  • Sun damage

  • Fine lines

  • Pre-mature aging

  • Free radicals

We love the sun like the rest of ya’ll, but our skin takes a beating .While a sweet tan is always nice, sun damage is the #1 external cause of aging. Counteract those long hours in the sun with Lumin’s supplemental Anti-Wrinkle Serum is the sauce. It's jam-packed with vitamins to help you counteract sun damage and fine lines.

Pop the top, and we dabbed a little on the wrinkles, lines, age spots on our face and thats it. No crazy routine or process. Just a dab-a-do and off to bed.

Duuude score: 9/10 -  For sun junkies like us, we are coming around.


Recovery Oil

Helps With:

  • Dehydration

  • Damage & Dryness

  • Sun damage

  • Inflammation

Dry, Damaged skin needs an intensive cure to repair your skin’s protective barrier from years of neglect. Think of lip balm being used in the sun, the cold, in excessive heat/dryness. Now, just roll the Recovery Oil onto your cheeks, around your nose, and any flaky areas at night. Throughout the day, apply oil as needed for instant hydration.

We tossed this thin little magic oil into our bag as we headed out to work, the office, even after work. Drop some on any dry or damaged spot and let it do it’s thang!

Duuude score: 10/10 -  Our mugs will never be the same.
