“Personal grooming for men is just as important as it is for women,” says Haven skincare expert and facial guru Stalina Glot. “Their skin has the same needs — they just get away with flaws more easily because they can be perceived as ‘rugged’ and that’s sexy. But… clogged pores, oily skin, flaky skin, are never sexy and you need a pro to take care of them. You need someone to help guide you through the maze of skincare products out there – because they’re typically overwhelming to male clients. In my experience, men are more comfortable treating themselves, and once they know what a facial is like they’re hooked!”
In between facials keep your skin moisturized with products like Dove+Men moisturizer or Dove+Men Hydrating cream. “Biologically, men’s skin is different than women’s skin because it is thicker, produces more sweat and oil resulting in larger pores that can clog with dirt and oil more easily,” says Dermatologist Dr. Terrence Keaney, the Dove Men+Care Expert. “Men’s skin also has lower pH values, which can cause some cleansing products to have a more drying effect on skin. When men come into my office the first thing I recommend are cleansing products designed for them that will effectively remove dirt and excess oil while also hydrating their skin. Maintaining skin’s hydration levels is one of the most important ways to keep the skin healthy and strong.” The Dove Men+Care Hydration Balance Body Wash is made with MICROMOISTURE technology that activates on skin during lather to lock in the skin’s natural moisture and provide hydration for healthier, stronger skin.”
So there you have it — go book yourself a facial, and in between, moisturize your skin.
