The ultimate guide to skincare … for men

The ultimate guide to skincare … for men

No matter what your age or gender, the key to healthy skin is maintenance and long-term care. Everyone wants younger, healthier looking skin for longer and this is only achieved by eating well, staying hydrated and investing in quality treatments and at-home skincare.

Enhance your natural handsomeness by following some of our top lifestyle tips, (which will make you feel more energized and refreshed) alongside one of our sustained skincare plans.

1. Supercharge your skin. Monthly facials can make your skin turn a complete 180. They are also an ideal opportunity to learn more about your skin from your therapist, and ways you can improve it with an at-home skincare routine.

2. 70/30. To get optimal improvement in your skin, results come from 30% the treatments you receive in the clinic and 70% what you do at home.

3. Eat well. Increase the number of organic vegetables in your diet and limit the number of pre-packaged food (that includes tinned!)

4. Hydrate. Drink lots of water (three litres a day for men)

5. Cut back. Limit your alcohol and try giving up completely during the week

6. De-stress. Wind down after work with a detoxifying and revitalizing infrared sauna.

7. Get some sleep. Trouble sleeping? Try:

a. Drinking one cup of chamomile a day (it’s known for relieving anxiety, stress and insomnia)

b. Diaphragmatic breathing. It really does lead to a healthier state of being

c. Upping your magnesium intake to allow your cells to make energy and soothe muscles after a long day at work.

Choose from our basic or more advance at-home skincare routine for dream skin results.

BACK TO BASICS PROGRAMME

Easy as 1, 2, 3, our ‘Back to Basics’ homecare routine is a great introduction to sustained and long term skincare without the fuss.

1. Cleanse – cleanse your skin with a foaming cleanser which can also double as a superb shaving foam. A supermarket brand cleanser won’t be able to do what a cosmeceutical cleanser will do, like treat and improve skin clarity and work to remove dirt, surface oil and impurities, whilst nourishing and anti-aging.

2. Treat – use a hardworking serum with active ingredients to make visible changes in your skin. Using a serum will smooth the rough texture of your skin, as well as refine enlarged pores and improve the appearance of an uneven skin tone.

3. Protect – Combat the negative effects of the sun, UVAs and UVBs by protecting your skin with a moisturizing sunscreen. Air-conditioned offices can wreck havoc on the skin so a super hydrating moisturizer will help reinvigorate it throughout the day whilst you’re working.

4. Banish – Banish fine lines and wrinkles with a serum high in Vitamin A. Ultraceuticals Ultra A Perfecting Serum is very strong and effective so should be used only once a day, or every other day, depending on your skin’s needs.

5. Rehydrate – If your skin dries out easily consider investing in an ultra-hydrating moisturiser that you can carry around with you and re-apply throughout the day. Or simply apply in the evening after cleansing and your Vitamin A serum.
