A Men’s Guide To Skincare

As the UK becomes more conscious of skin problems and facial maintenance, we’ve written a guide to men’s skincare to help you find the best treatments for your skin.

 

As the UK becomes more conscious of skin problems and facial maintenance, there has been a great increase in men’s spa treatments and salons dedicated to male grooming. Taking care of your skin is of great importance, keeping you looking youthful, fresh, healthy and tidy. Don’t be fooled into thinking that a good skincare regime should only be reserved for women, as men’s skincare is equally as important. This doesn’t have to take you too long each day, but a few extra minutes spent on your skin could make a massive difference.

Why is skincare so important?

Looking after your skin is incredibly important for a wide range of reasons, this varies from keeping your skin young and healthy to preventing health problems in the future. Following a few simple steps to better your regime could have a massive impact on your life, from the way you look to the confidence you have and how your skin feels. The earlier in your life that you begin to look after your skin, the later you should see wrinkles and other features of the ageing process appearing, but it is never too late to start looking after your skin! That’s why we’ve created a handy guide to help you to find the perfect routine for you:

Cleansing

As a general rule, soap based products aren't good for your skin, particularly the fragile skin on your face. It can leave your skin feeling dry and rough and often cause irritation. Instead, it is best to opt for a facial cleanser without soap to rinse any excess oils, keeping your skin clean without the drying effects. This should be used once or twice a day – depending on your job/daily tasks; it is best to do this in the morning and before you go to bed.

When browsing for a new cleanser or face wash, look for unfragranced products that contain mainly natural ingredients. If you are still unsure of what products would best suit your skin, it might be best to visit pamperbanananman where a skincare professional will be able to advise you on the best products to match your skin type. 

Moisturising

Moisturising is an essential part of any skincare routine as this can help to reduce dryness and also help you with any associated skin problems you may be having. There are a plethora of products available which claim to do a variety of different things, which can make it a little bit difficult to decipher which would be the best one for your needs. Again, a skincare professional at pamperbananaman, will be able to offer advice on the best products to use for your skin type. Once you’ve found the perfect product, the hard part is over, and you’ll simply need to smooth a small amount over your face between once and twice a day after cleansing for the best results.

Shaving/Grooming

You may not be surprised to hear that shaving is a key part of your facial skincare routine. If you have a poor shaving technique or are using a razor of poor quality, then you could be giving yourself an array of issues which could easily be avoided. Shaving too often may also leave your skin fragile and sensitive, causing irritation, particularly to those who have an existing skin problem already. If you enjoy a close shave, then your skincare routine will be of paramount importance.

On the other hand, if you have a beard, you will still need to use products such as beard oil to keep the skin beneath in good condition and be sure to cleanse and moisturise the parts of your face not covered by your beard on a daily basis.

Facial Treatments

Our vitamin A treatment is one of the most popular in our male spa in Bristol, which combines the rich vitamin based products with the latest technology of Ionzyme machines.
