Men’s skin and grooming can get overlooked in skincare blogs and ads. Many men often don’t know where to begin when it comes to skincare or skin-safe products. Master estheticians can help men and women learn more about their skin tips and how to have better grooming. Men can avoid skincare or multiple products because they don’t want to smell flowery or they don’t think their skin needs some extra love.
The Skin Institute can help people of all genders and ages have healthier skin. We train our estheticians to treat multiple skin conditions and recommend products that will work for you. In this blog, we will share some men’s skin and grooming tips to help get you started.
Beard And Beard Skincare Matter
While going beyond basic grooming can be good for men and women, focusing on the basics can be good as well. Taking care of your beard, the skin underneath and around the area will help you have healthier skin follicles and skin.
Most skin issues that men experience revolve around beard and hair growth issues. It is important to shave correctly and apply products that work for your skin afterward.
Beard areas are sensitive, so applying products can be hard. Try to apply with the beard hair growth instead of against it. Gentle exfoliation can also help remove dead skin cells and encourage hair growth. Exfoliating toners can be a lifesaver when it comes to men’s skin and grooming products.
Most Men Have Combination Skin
Combination skin means you have dry areas and oily areas. Men have thicker skin, larger pores, and produce more oil so you will need to avoid thick creams or pasty products. Look for water-based products that can add hydration to your home skincare routine.
Estheticians should focus on limiting clogged pores and limiting ingrown hairs. Because men’s skin is more complex if you are looking for an esthetician to treat you, find one that has knowledge of men’s issues.
Don’t Neglect Your Back, Neck, And Chest
Another tip for men’s skin and grooming is to apply products and take care of the skin on the rest of the body. The back and chest are prone to breakouts and can benefit from skincare products as well. When it comes to men’s skin and grooming, you will need to focus on multiple parts of the body besides just the face.
Back and chest hair removal is often a highly requested service for men. Ingrown hairs can also lead to irritated red bumps that can affect the look of your skin. Laser hair removal and exfoliation from master estheticians can help limit these kinds of issues.
Home Care Can Be Simple
Men want simple skincare routines and guidelines that are easy to follow. Home skincare can be simple and still beneficial without needing a million different products.
If men have never done a skincare routine before, it is important to stick to the basics (cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and sunscreen). Following these basics will help remove excess dirt from your face and protect you from skin cancer.
Tips For Master Estheticians Serving Men
If you are studying to be an esthetician, there are some skills you should develop to use when you work with men.
- Shaving and exfoliating correctly are important for men’s skin and grooming. Use beard products that won’t clog pores and shave with the hair grain growth.
- Suggest supplements for men when they are trying to improve their skin and are still searching for products that work for their skin type. Vitamins and minerals can help decrease inflammation and limit acne on the outside of your body.
- If someone is new to skincare or new products, help them start with what they have on hand. Some products like sunscreen, moisturizer, or Vitamin C supplements can all help skin without needing to purchase a large number of products.
