Skin Care Hows and Dos For Young Men

Copyright 2011. skin care treatments tv. all rights reserved.

A lot of young men are embarrassed to discuss skin care issues, often because they’d prefer to be looked at as rugged or masculine- they don’t want to be looked down at. Knowing this, we’ve made it possible for young men to look up this information on skincaretreatments.tv. You can do this privately and we invite you to ask any and all skin care related questions that you may have with respect to your skin care concerns.

First, you should know this-  a lot of times breakouts aren’t just restricted to your face, but can even pop up on your shoulders, back and even your behind.

Here are some useful tips:

• A good all over cleanser, such as soap or body wash (our help with skin care eBook contains skin care recipes which you can make yourself, while saving hundreds of dollars).
• Face wash for your skin type: dry/sensitive, normal, oily or combination.
• Toner to improve your skin tone and tighten pores (please see our make your own face toner recipe).
• Facial moisturizer to leave your face feeling silky smooth.
• A rich shaving gel to help your razor glide over your skin.
• A razor with an aloe and/or vitamin strip to discourage nasty razor burn.
• A proper cleansing facial specific for your skin type by a trained skin care professional specializing in skin care for men.

A proper man’s cleansing facial should consist of the following:

1. Skin analysis- this allows the skin care professional to decipher what type of skin you have and which type of facial would be best suited for you.
2. Cleansing of the skin to remove debris.
3. Exfoliation- usually derived from a fruit or plant extract (grainy in nature) would be used.
4. Steam ( this facilitates the opening of the pores for proper extraction).
5. Massage- ( this encourages circulation). Please note: some clients should not get face massages if their skin is highly broken out.
6. Extraction ( NEVER, EVER should your skin care practitioner squeeze your skin with his/her fingers- a tool by the name of a commodone extractor should be used).
7. Mask- a custom blended mask  should be mixed specific to your skin’s need. Masks are standard, but each case is different, so why should a standard mask be used when one that can be blended specifically for you can be used instead?
8. Moisturizer or skin protecteting agent should be applied before your facial treatment comes to an end.

Three additional steps for young men which are very helpful:

Because young men sweat more than young women, be it because of playing sports or exerting more energy, one should:

1. Change bed linens several times per week.
2. Shower immediately after playing sports and/or sweating.
3. Change shirts if shirt is full of sweat.
