If you’re a man looking to take care of your skin, why not try facials? Facial treatments are usually seen as an indulgence for women but they are actually just as beneficial for men. Beyond the means of relaxation, facials ensure healthy and radiant skin while cleansing pores and other irritants.

At Therapy Hair Studio, our luxury facials are suitable for everyone. They offer customized experiences inclusive of purifying probiotics, 100% organic treatment, followed by a relaxing shoulder and arm massage.

Continue reading to learn more about 8 different reasons why men should get facials. 

1. Facials Provide Deep Cleaning

A facial treatment normally begins with your face’s deep cleansing. Most facials include using steam to open up the pores and help soften dirt hiding deep beneath your skin. Regular face washing with soap and water will not be able to achieve the detoxifying effect a facial treatment can provide. You can only get your skin thoroughly cleaned with a professional facial.

2. Preps Your Skin for a Smoother Shave

Shaving is a part of any man’s grooming routine. Facial treatments can effectively address the irritation that shaving causes the skin. It decreases its side effects and helps the skin recover and heal, bringing back its natural look and texture. Facials still have benefits for men who grow beards and do not shave regularly. The skin beneath your facial hair will benefit from the facial steam and massage. It will also help to keep it looking nice and clean.

3. Safe and Effective Exfoliation

Exfoliation processes the removal of dead skin cells from the skin using an exfoliation tool or chemical. However, it’s pretty standard for dead cells not to shed fully, resulting in clogged and dry skin pores. Exfoliating through facial treatment prevents this from happening. Facials can zero in on the deep skin layers to remove trapped dead cells. Only professional estheticians are knowledgeable in safely using chemical exfoliators that can produce excellent results. 

4. Better Extraction of Blackheads

One of the more popular benefits of getting facials for men is blackhead extraction. Since deep cleansing of the skin is involved in facial treatments, blackheads are the usual skin irritants first to go through manual plucking. 

Extracting blackheads is not the same as popping zits on your face, which can result in scarring. Facials performed by professionals ensure that blackheads are removed safely without causing damage to your skin. 

5. It Teaches You About Proper Skin Care

Getting a facial treatment also allows you to learn from your facialist about skin care. Professionals in this field make it a point to know the concerns about your skin and how they can be best addressed. They examine your skin and learn things about it, in order to give you informed suggestions on how to best treat it. Offering advice on what procedures should be done and skin care products they believe would be best suited for your skincare is another added bonus of making facials a part of your skincare routine.

6. Relieve Facial Tension

Men can often experience tension on their faces without realizing it. Stress is the main culprit behind this. A facial massage can help relieve contracted muscles that cause tightness in the forehead or around the eyes. You are sure to feel the difference after getting a facial. Enjoy the relaxation during and as an after-effect!

7. Time for Relaxation

Taking care of your skin can also be a good time for relaxation. Scheduling an appointment for a facial can keep your face in its best condition and give you a much-needed break from work and other tasks. In fact, one of the main reasons why men are drawn to facials is because of the relaxing time it provides. Sit back and enjoy the experience of a relaxing facial and massage!

8. The Professionals Know Better

Professionals are best equipped to do facials for men. They have the proper knowledge and tools to keep your skin looking vibrant and healthy. Rather than trying different products or techniques on your own, it’s best to go to the professionals for facial treatments. They have the proper skills, tools, and products to guarantee excellent results.

For most people, Halloween is a much-anticipated day because they get to dress up in their favorite costumes. Whether you’re going to a Halloween party or just want to look spooky for the holiday, you can use makeup to create different effects.

Here are some Halloween makeup ideas to try out:

1. Mad Scientist

The mad scientist look is perfect for anyone who wants to look spooky without being too scary. You can achieve this look with some simple Halloween makeup techniques.

First, start by creating a base for your mad scientist look with a foundation that is one or two shades lighter than your natural skin tone. Then, use a white eyeshadow to create a stark contrast around your eyes. For the finishing touches, add some false lashes and apply red lipstick.

If you want to achieve this look but aren’t confident in your makeup skills, you can always enlist the help of professionals. At Therapy Hair Studio, we also offer makeup services for special occasions. Our makeup artists would be more than happy to help you create the perfect mad scientist look for Halloween!

2. Dead Barbie

Transform into Halloween icon barbie, with the captivating dead Barbie look. Using a white face base and heavy black kohl, create a doll-like appearance. For the lips, use bright pink lipstick, delivering that extra girly feel. Apply blush for some rosy cheeks, and don’t forget to add some long lashes!

Let’s not forget Barbie’s classic hairstyle – flat, frizz-free, and fabulous. Straighten your hair yourself, or turn to a professional hair stylist to help deliver a hairstyle that will last day and night festivities. If you’re interested in that classic Barbie straight and sleek look for an extended period, talk to our team about our Brazilian blowout treatments.

3. Black Swan

Achieving the look of Black Swan can be easier than you may think. To create the base, start by applying a white foundation all over your face. Next, use black gel eyeliner to line your eyes, extending the liner slightly beyond their outer corners. Use black pencil eyeliner to line your lower lash line and waterline. Smudge the liner for a smokier look. Apply two coats of black mascara to your top and bottom lashes for the finishing touch.

4. Mad Hatter

The Mad Hatter is a classic Halloween makeup look that is perfect for those who want to go for a more whimsical and fun feel. You will want to use bright and bold colors on your eyes, cheeks, and lips for this look.

To get the perfect Mad Hatter eyes, start by using a white base on your eyelids and then add brightly colored shadows in shades of blue, green, or purple. Add some black liner along your upper lash line and finish off with some false lashes or dramatic mascara.

Use a bright blush in a shade that compliments your eye makeup for your cheeks. Complete the look with bold red or purple lipstick!

5. Cracked Porcelain Doll

To get this look, prime your face and apply a white foundation all over. Once the foundation is applied, use a black pencil to line the perimeter of your mouth. Next, use red lipstick and fill in your lips. Add some fake blood around the outside of your mouth to complete the look.

The key to getting the desired Crackled Porcelain Doll effect is to avoid using too much makeup. Don’t overdo the black pencil or red lipstick to create a realistic illusion of a cracked porcelain doll.

6. Glamorously Gore

Looking to go glamorously gore? A good canvas can make all the difference in the world when it comes to makeup application. Facials and chemical peels can be an effective way to prepare your skin for the big night. Preparing your skin with the proper skin care and treatments can help create the perfect canvas for your Halloween makeup look.
