Awesome Gentleman's Facial for Manly Skincare

If the first picture that pops into your mind when someone mentions the word facial is a bunch of ladies sitting around in bathrobes sipping tea with green mud on their faces, you may be a little behind the times. Facials aren’t just for ladies anymore. Guys from all walks of life are discovering the many benefits of facials. A man’s skin needs care too. If you are having issues with our skin perhaps it’s time that you discovered the awesome benefits of a Gentleman’s Facial.

Why Do Men Need Facials?

Guys need skincare tailored to the unique characteristics of a man’s skin. Due to high testosterone levels, men tend to have more oily skin but may battle dry flaky patches, especially underneath facial hair. The excess oil production can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Irritation from shaving can also be a big issue. A gentleman's facial will remove excess oil, deep clean and extract those clogged pores, buff away dead skin cells, soothe the dry irritated skin, and leave your face smooth and polished.

What About Facial Hair?

You may think that if you have facial hair you can’t get a facial, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Men with beards especially need regular facials. It is difficult to properly clean and care for skin that is completely covered by hair. Your esthetician will get right down to the roots to give your skin a thorough cleaning. If you shave try to avoid shaving the day of your appointment. The day or evening before your appointment is the best time for a shave. But if you must shave the same day make sure it is at least 6-8 hours before your appointment to avoid irritation.

What’s the Schedule?

Once you experience a refreshing and relaxing facial you’ll no doubt be ready to schedule your next. But how often should you get a facial? While everyone’s skin is different, most men will do well scheduling one every 4-6 weeks, so about as often as you get your hair cut.
