Men_NosehairWhy should Skin Care be only for women??

In today’s society, men are becoming more aware of their appearances and also have the desire to age slower and maintain their youth, just like women do.

This means that more and more men are heading off to the spa for Facials, Waxing, Barber and Massage services!
According to the International SPA Association (ISPA), men are making up 47% of spa-goers.

This tells me that men are looking for spa services because they suffer from conditions like Acne, age spots, and even razor bumps and need skin care products targeted specifically to their concerns as well.

Man_ShavingMen have different needs than women – especially when it comes to shaving because of the fact that many are shaving  their faces daily and this causes damage to their skin when not caring for it properly post-shave.

Shaving is a necessity for men in the workplace because it’s just not “clean-looking” to have a full beard.  Plus it gives the appearance of youthfulness.

In today’s competitive job market, men need to have good looks, great skin and maintain a youthful appearance and it’s no longer just women who are being turned down for jobs.

Men also need to understand HOW to properly care for their skin.  Most male clients who come to my spa for the first time, only use bar soap to wash their faces.   No lotion or nothing to add to the skin post-shaving!!
My husband uses a bar of soap to wash his face (even though I’m an Esthy and try to explain what to do).  Post-shaving, he just wipes it off & walks out the door.  No moisturizer unless it’s cold out & his skin is flaky & dry…drives me NUTS!!!

Men are simple by nature, so they need spa services and a skin care line that is also simple and un-complicated.  Their facials need to be structured in a way that they can see & feel the results during and after their service.

 

Mens_FacialSkin care should also be very basic.  Most men aren’t going to go home with 5-7 products and do a morning or nightly skin routine.  They are just wasting money and the Esthetician should KNOW better!!!
Remember, men have ONLY used Bar soap up until this point.  They need to start slower and add in products as they feel comfortable and ready.  They also don’t want heavily fragranced or products designed for women with pretty labels or designs on the box.

There are a number of product lines that are specific to the Male clients, but you always need to look at ingredients because most of the OTC products have dry, irritating ingredients that are NOT going to help with Acne or Razor bumps – they will only exacerbate the conditions.

Lastly, Facials are so important as a maintenance for men.  The Esthetician will get a chance to make sure they are continuing on their home-care.  They will also get to see how well their skin is responding and if it IS helping.  Our job is to get to know your skin and make sure that the products and treatments are making a change and improving your skin.  If not, we can always adjust the products or our facials to ensure the skin is looking & feeling great.
With the Holiday season approaching, NOW is a great time to start thinking about getting your hubby, brother, uncle, grandpa, or guy-friend in the spa…get them a Gift Certificate so they can try it!
Most of my male clients have come from my women clients referring to me because Men aren’t usually ones to schedule a facial, it has to be done for them.  Once they’re hooked, they begin to come on a regular basis and they love the results!

Praise for Skin Deep

  • Unique approach to FacialsSkin Deep

    Samantha, provides a very unique approach to experiencing a facial! I was very intrigued by the fact that diet and nutrition are part of her initial consult. Looking deeper than just the symptoms is always important to me. Samantha is friendly, professional, highly knowledgeable and gave such a calming facial! Thank you!

  • Passion for skin careSkin Deep

    I am very impressed with Samantha! She has a true passion for skincare and educating others on how to maintain healthy skin. I am so excited about the results from my microcurrent facial too!!! A great experience and she is located in such a beautiful salon I didn't want to leave.

  • Wow! I couldn’t be happier with my facial from Samantha!Skin Deep

    I am still raving about it and telling everyone I know about it! I have to admit, I am not much of a facial person (and had alot of doubts) but I had heard so many good things abour her and loved her energy, that I had to give it a try. The results were undeniable! I could see the difference, and even my boyfriend noticed initially and is still making comments. Now, it is a month later and my skin still seems to be glowing and still looks more youthful! Samantha, you are so good at what you do! I will definately be back to you for all my skin care needs! Thank you! Thank you!

  • I cannot say enough good things about Samantha and Skin Deep.Skin Deep

    I have a skin condition called Perioral Dermatitis which has caused a ugly red, dry, flaky rash on my face. I was concerned with receiving a facial because every skin care product that I have tried has made my skin worse. However the products that were used on me had a very calming effect and I left with my skin looking and feeling great. On top of it Samantha personally called me a few days after having my facial to check back with me and see how my skin was doing and answer any questions that I may have had. I highly recommend Skin Deep and Samantha!

  • My skin looks brighter, more clear and definitely more smooth.

    Here’s the thing, before I started going to Skin Deep, I thought of facials as a luxury item…something you treat yourself to now and again. Although, Samantha makes you feel relaxed and pampered during her facials, Skin Deep gives me so much more than that. Talking to Samantha about my skin, habits and health…learning about ways to take better care of my skin specifically for me, really has made me see my skincare in a whole new way. My skin looks brighter, more clear and definitely more smooth. That makes me feel so happy and refreshed getting ready every day. Because of the personal guidance and service at Skin Deep, I have realized that I take care of my body by exercising, my mind by reading and learning new things… It is important to take that kind of care with my skin, too. The way my skin feels after a facial at Skin Deep, I float out knowing that I am doing just that!

  • Extremely skilled, professional

    I have been receiving facial treatments and eyebrow waxing from Samantha for almost two years. I started seeing her because she was my friend, but continued to do so because she is extremely skilled, professional, and knowledgeable. She is always on top of the latest treatments and equipment, and has designed a specific treatment for my skin, which I am very happy with. I can’t imagine going to anyone else!
