A Gentleman’s Guide to Getting A Facial

Posted on by

Facial treatments can have a transformative effect on your skin, as well as having anti-aging effects. If you’ve never had the experience of a spa facial for men, let us provide you with a gentleman’s guide to getting a facial.

  1. How to prepare

Do your normal skincare routine the morning of the facial. Anything extra will not be representative of your normal skin and the esthetician will not be able to provide an accurate treatment for you. 

Shave on the morning of the appointment as well – any stubble or hair on the face and neck will mean the skin cannot be treated properly. If you have a full beard and don’t want to lose it, don’t worry as the esthetician will just work around these areas.

Finally, ensure you do not exfoliate up to four days before your appointment as you do not want your skin to be too sensitive during the treatment.

  1. During the facial treatment

As this is a pampering experience intended to make you feel good as well as improve your skin, expect a relaxing environment. The esthetician will ask you questions about your skin care routine and you should answer honestly, as they use this information to tailor your facial to your unique skin. 

Consider bringing the products you use on a daily basis with you for recommendations on what you should and should not be using. Don’t be afraid to mention any problems you have with your skin – with their expertise, your esthetician should be able to tailor a treatment for you which takes into account your skincare woes.

  1. Repeat for the best effect

A facial shouldn’t be a one-off experience. For the best effect, you should return between every three to six weeks to keep your skin looking in its best condition. Seasonal changes can also impact the skin, and it is recommended that you return for a fresh facial treatment at the turn of the season. 

There are plenty of reasons facials are just as much for men as they are women, and the amazing effect they have on skin has to be seen to be believed. What are you waiting for? Book yourself a pampering facial today!

How To Tackle Dry Skin On The Face

Posted on by

Dry skin can lose its glow very quickly and can make you look tired and worn out. However, there are many simple solutions to improve dry skin and get your glow back.

What causes dry skin?

Dry skin on faces can be caused by many environmental factors. For example, hot and dry climates with lots of sun can worsen dry skin as the cells are damaged by exposure to the sun’s UV rays and hot, dry weather can reduce the production of the skin’s natural oils. Not drinking enough water each day can also exacerbate dry skin on the face, particularly if living in a dry, warm climate. Going from hot weather to air con and back again throughout the day can also cause skin irritation and dryness.

What can help dry skin?

Making sure to drink plenty of water is a great first step. And, no matter where you live, applying sun cream before leaving the house can help reduce the risks of sun exposure. If living somewhere warm this is particularly important and you should make sure to wear at least factor 30 on your face, although factor 50 would be best!
