The skin, hair and brow treatments that would suit the men in Singapore to a T.
AS THE WORLD evolves and perceptions change, it is no longer considered an indulgence for the modern man to go for face, hair and brow treatments, all in the name of being well-groomed. In fact having a grooming ritual beyond soap, water (and whatever else one happens to find in the bathroom), is just one of the many ways in which men can practice better self-care.
Grooming brands have correspondingly expanded their options to suit a wide range of skin types and concerns as well as the preferences of male clients — who are less inclined to layer products and use heavy textures. Aesthetic doctors have also seen a rise in male clients looking for fixes for common problems like pitted scars and hair loss.
FINDING BALANCE
Needless to say, problem skin is one of the most pressing concerns that men here face, largely exacerbated by the heat and humidity in Singapore. Dr Lam Bee Lan, medical director of Ageless Medical says, “We’ve seen men seek help for common concerns such as oily skin, acne as well as pitted scars that developed from the acne experienced in their teen years. Men have thicker skin compared to women and their sebaceous glands tends to be more active, which is why they are more likely to have an oily skin texture as compared to women.”
