Grooming Routine: The Best Spas for Men

By Ann Binlot Published December 13, 2019

Going to the spa isn’t just for the ladies anymore. Men’s spa treatments are becoming increasing popular, and hey, we have to admit, it is pretty attractive to see a man who likes to take care of himself. Women like a man with smooth, kissable skin (take it from me!). With Father’s Day coming up, spa treatments also make great presents. The Manual searched spa menus across the country to give you a selection of the most male-friendly spas; some do facials that are specially tailored for men’s skin, while others offer massages specifically for athletes.

Bliss
Bliss is one of our favorite spas, and you can take their awesome product line home with you. The “Homme” Improvement is a facial that you wish you were getting right now to forget that hangover. It’s a version of their Triple Oxygen Facial that includes a serious scrub down and some in-grown hair removal magic.

Start with a bath and scrub in the hamam, then go for a full out facial.

“Beards go through various stages of growth, each requiring specific care and attention,” said Dr. Hamdan Abdullah Hamed, MBChB, a board-certified dermatologist based in the UAE and co-founder of PowerYourCurls.com, a platform dedicated to providing natural hair care solutions for people of all hair types.

Your morning routine may look something like this: You hit snooze a several times before finally rolling out of bed. You hop in and out of the shower, quickly washing your face with soap and lukewarm water. Then, you get dressed and go.

It seems to work — you get to the office in the nick of time. We get that you’re tired and busy, but experts say your skin needs more TLC than that.

The Best New Men’s Grooming Brands You Need to Know About

KOA

The men’s grooming category is growing, and we are not mad about it. While we’re certainly happy to see that more men are willing to go beyond a shower, shave, and a quick spray of deodorant, we can also see why a trip down the average drugstore aisle can become a minefield. It’s bad enough that some of our old favorites are expanding their product ranges to include everything from cleansers to moisturizers. It seems like there are new entries into the skincare product game every day. Stick with us. We’ll help you navigate through all that. Here are seven new collections we’re excited to share and one fun new entry into the toothbrush market. Author's note: We’ve tried just about all of these, and are so happy with the results, we’re having decision-making anxiety every morning before even stepping into the shower.
Jack Henry

Jack Henry was introduced when founders Kyle and Erin Bardouche couldn’t find hair products that didn’t include tons of synthetic ingredients. The well-coiffed couple’s first introduction was OG Pomade, a blend of beeswax, coconut oil, and lavender. Since then. the brand has expanded to include an award-winning clay pomade, deodorant (with eucalyptus and bergamot), face toner, and much more.
