A Gentleman’s Guide to Getting A Facial

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!

Getting a men’s facial: what to expect

Getting a facial is one of life’s great luxuries and such a luxury shouldn’t be limited to the ladies. Men have the same need to keep their skin healthy and energised as women do. But what happens when you go for a facial?

Having a facial should never be a stressful experience for you – and if it is, you’re obviously going to the wrong place. If it’s your first time at the spa, you’ll likely have a consultation with your skin therapist. During this consultation, the therapist will ask questions to pull together a clearer picture of your skin – they’ll likely ask you about your skin type, what you already do at home to maintain your skin and whether you have any particular concerns as far as your skin is concerned.

What type of facial should I go for?

Your skin type is incredibly important in determining which men’s facial is the best one for you.

For incredibly tight skin, Galvanic Rejuvenating Facial is perfect. It improves the elasticity of skin cells and has a purifying, smoothing effect. However, if you’re short on time, we’d recommend an Express Facial. With the same results as a traditional facial, the Express Facial is perfect for busy, working men who are always on the go.

For dry and dehydrated skin, our Hydrating Facial Treatment moisturises deep layers of the skin, rehydrating dry, lacklustre skin and providing you with much-needed rejuvenation.

Aftercare advice

Looking after your skin post-treatment is equally as important. Remembering to cleanse, tone and moisturise your skin after you have had a treatment will keep it looking healthy and energised. Additionally, regular facial appointments will ensure reduced pore sizes and excessive grease, keeping your skin at a healthy level of hydration and looking bright and fresh.

How To Tackle Dry Skin On The Face

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!

What treatments can help dry skin?

Cool Aroma treatments are specially formulated for men. Not only do they target male-specific skin concerns, but you will have a relaxing experience to unwind during your busy week.

The wide range of treatments that Cool Aroma offer for dry skin includes:

  1. Brightening Facial – this 60-70 minute treatment is great for sensitive skin and will remove any impurities while smoothing the skin.
  2. Galvanic Rejuvenating Facial – using galvanic current to treat ageing, this is a fantastic facial for all skin types.
  3. Sensicalm Care – is perfect for dry and sensitive skin, reducing the effects of ageing and living in hot climates. Perfect for reducing dehydration and improving the look of skin.

Dry skin on the rest of the body can also be a problem so consider regular massages using rich oils to hydrate the skin and remove any dull skin and reduce puffiness. These luxurious treatments will instantly make you feel better and improve the skin’s appearance.
