HOMME CARE

Men’s grooming is now an honoured art. There’s no shame involved, on the contrary, the shame is on you, and solely you, if you don’t have a skin care routine to follow.

In our last issue, we discussed the need for men to have a definitive skin care regimen, as no two skin types are alike. Rather every skin type has different needs and requires a bespoke skin care solution, in this article we focus on the need for facials for men, for a clean and well-groomed personal style and desire.

Recently, Dr. Kiran Sethi, a leading celebrity dermatologist and owner of Isya Aesthetics, designed ‘The Man’s Bestfriend’ treatment keeping in mind the busy on-the-go man. “It may come as a surprise that a man’s skin deals with issues of extra oil, damage from repetitive shaving, ingrown hairs, blackheads, and is particularly susceptible to damage from pollution. This treatment targets concerns like pollution, dullness, and cleanses the skin while removing blackheads, free radicals and general wear and tear – quickly and painlessly,” says Dr. Kiran.

She further adds, “This facial is filled with the goodness of special vitamin-infused cleansing, deep pore exfoliation, painless extraction, calming facial massage with active infusion, and a gentle glow-inducing therapy and cooling mask. After all, who doesn’t want a clean, blackheadfree and glowing face? This treatment is painless, gentle, non-invasive and safe. You will be in and out in 40 minutes. This process requires no downtime and you can head off to work or a party right after”.

The modern man is taking a keen interest in caring for his skin, which is gradually losing its ‘girly’ tag, and rightfully so considering — our skin is the largest organ in the human body and works to protect men and women alike. It bears the brunt of a deteriorating environment and harsh UV rays, further compounded by the toxins it absorbs through the products we apply on our body.
