Top to toe tips for male grooming – from facials to feet
There’s a bit of a man thing going on in June. Both Father’s Day (18 June) and Men’s Health Month, plus the summer holiday season has suddenly arrived and after months of covering up you’ll want to look your best for the beach too.
So this week we’re taking a close look at male grooming.
Let’s face it…
Men’s skin is completely different to women’s. It’s thicker, hairier and produces more oil. That’s why men benefit from a skincare routine that’s tailored for male skin. A regular facial will keep your skin looking healthy and will help to fight premature ageing. Pop in to ask our advice about what’s best for you as we always tailor our skincare to suit individual skin types and needs.
Don’t forget:
- Wear sun protection (SPF 30+) every day to protect your skin against damaging and ageing UV rays.
- Don’t borrow your partner’s or your mum’s skincare products – always use a male-specific range that will suit your particular skin type.
- We can’t overstate the importance of moisturizing – especially after washing your face or shaving. We’ve got a wide range of products and we’ll be happy to talk them through with you.
Here are a few of our most in-demand products men:
Yonka Men’s Nutri Cream – antioxidant & energizing with Vitamin C
Kaaral Manniskan 3 in 1 Shower Gel for Hair, Beard and Body
Gehwol Foot Care products
Eltraderm Mild Cleansing Gel (which doubles as a shaving gel)
Poolside confidence
And if you want to ‘fake the bake’ before jetting off to the sun, book a professional tanning treatment for an instant, natural looking man tan – perfect for those first days poolside.
Treat your feet
Scruffy, badly cut toenails, dry skin and cracked heels will really let down your summer look – especially if you’re a slides fan or are headed for the beach.
Why not book in for a professional pedicure to make sure your feet and nails are in tip-top condition. Did you know we also offer manicures for men too?
By the way – don’t forget that bare feet burn. When you’re out in the sun, always protect them (and the rest of your skin) with a 30+ SPF cream.”
Manscaping? Ditch the itchy stubble for good
If you’ve ever tried some DIY manscaping in the shower with a razor, you’ll know all about the unpleasant itching and stubble that follow soon after.
The simpler and far better solution is waxing. It’s a fast, precise and relatively pain-free way to get rid of unwanted hair and will give you a smooth finish for up to four weeks. It’s ideal for body hair on the chest and back as well as smaller areas such as monobrows.
If you’re planning on soaking up some sun, come in for your waxing appointment at least three days before to avoid irritating your skin.
