Guy beauty has been around for a while, only now is there an abandon and acceptance to care for your body and indulge in self-care amongst men. There is conversation and agreeability in recent times to be seen in a place where they can kick back and relax and unwind. Personal hygiene is important regardless of gender, it helps you care for and maintain your body.
Sana Dhanani, Founder of The White Door India shares a couple of ways in which one can get started.
Get the Routine Manicure & Pedicure
A monthly manicure and pedicure is a great way to deep clean, hydrate, and exfoliate the skin to rid it of dead skin, moisturise your cracked and dry feet, and trim your nails to ensure that there is no bacteria buildup, dirt, funky odour, or risk of ingrowth. It is also a great way to destress and indulge in a foot massage that boosts circulation and blood flow. The technician will always recommend a service that is best suited to your hands and feet and will recommend ways to care for your them in between appointments.
Squeaky Clean With A Cleanup
While a facial is more of a self-care ritual, a cleanup is almost essential. A monthly cleanup allows you to get that professional deep cleanse from a facialist, it helps rid your skin of the dirt, gunk, and clogged pores that your regular cleansing would not be able to do. It helps improve your complexion and allows for a boost in circulation, and brings with it a lift, and a glow. It also creates a fresh canvas to layer your skincare, making your skin soft and hydrated.
Well-Groomed And Natural-Looking Brows
Some men struggle with an unkept look because of excess facial growth. Well-groomed brows can make all the difference in your confidence and helps give you that sharp look. This can be combated with the help of a brow technician who can simply pluck, thread or wax away the necessary strands of hair to give you well-defined, uniform-looking brows. The 5-10 minute procedure is not as painful and allows you to look your best self every day. For men that struggle with scantly brow hair, Micro-blading is a great way to achieve fuller, natural-looking brows in a couple of sittings. Relatively semi-permanent in nature, these treatments last anywhere from 6 months to a year with the initial service and a single touch-up. The hair-like incisions made give the illusion of natural hair and the treatment is done with a numbing cream that makes the service almost painless for the client.
Hair Spa Treatment
Most men use a ton of hair products to give them a sleek or trendy hair-do, this leads to product build-up and clogged pores, leading to hair fall. A regular shampoo and conditioner cleanse would not be able to deep clean their scalp. Over time, this can lead to a sensitive and irritated scalp. A great way to combat this early on is to indulge in a monthly hair spa and leave it to the professionals to deeply cleanse, massage, and hydrate your scalp, giving your mane a refreshed, clean and healthy look and feel.
Recovery Is Just As Important
Active lifestyles among men can lead to muscle fatigue and soreness, especially when you are hitting the gym every other day. Recovery is an increasingly important practice that helps the body overcome muscle tension, improve flexibility, and increase circulation and overall energy. It also helps present muscle strain and the risk of future injuries. Deep tissue or a Swedish massage is great for men with such lifestyles.
