Beauty Expert Donna Fay tells you skincare and grooming for men, without feeling like one of the “girls”
Beauty Specialist Donna Fay talks about how with regards to skincare, beauty products and grooming, it is perhaps uncommon to see more men so interested. In the start, the term ‘metrosexual’ was not used voluntarily by many men. But now, it is 2015 and it seems socially acceptable for men to be more interested in looking younger and more attractive, without being branded with negative stigma.
With all this cosmetic surgery talk, it has to start from something smaller – say, the increase in men buying skincare products. Studies have shown that men are willing and inclined to use their partner’s lotions and potions to attain a glowing skin.
26% of men use partner shower gels and lotions; 19% admitted to using their partner’s facial creams, including topical acne medicines and eye creams. And with the newest skincare line and treatments for men and ladies by MD Face Skincare, it is socially acceptable for men to look after their skin without feeling like one of the “ladies.”
Regarding the procedures men perform, The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has kept track of hours of research work and has done plenty of research. The most popular or requested cosmetic surgery procedures in men are – eyelid surgery, hair transplant and chin liposuction! Donna Fay, “Aesthetician” at Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, says, “People embrace strong features like ethnic and non-traditional noses.” tops the list too, but it does not stop there. Injections are the hottest non-surgical procedure to which men are just as addicted as women.
Embracing what you have means balancing or enhancing natural features rather than changing them drastically. So it seems that ‘metrosexual’ will become a thing of the past, as all men will start to be more interested in looking better. Of course, looking better “affects what happens to you at work…some men see plastic surgery as a strategy to increase company profits and their own salary,”
What does it all mean? Looking younger and feeling confident in your skin are trends that are sure to stick around and stick around for men now and for years to come.
Donna Fay Shares Her Top 10 Men’s Beauty Tips…
1) Toss Your Razor and Choose Laser Hair Removal: These days shaving is optional. For silky-smooth skin without razor bumps, laser hair removal is a fantastic option that will leave you hair-free on a night out. Choose a more permanent pain-free/hair-free/maintenance-free solution.
2) Embracing Self-Tanning: Men should do self-tanning, particularly self-tanning gradually. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, “There is a 5.1 increased incidence of skin cancer in Men.” Donna said, “Dudes- Protect yourself!” Daily SPF is essential for your daily skincare regime.
3) chipped: Push Fido aside. Exfoliation is your new best friend. Exfoliating cleansers and masks are a man’s best asset for cell turnover.
4) Keep Your Lips Soft: Men also need soft lips. Apply lip balm/chapstick and clean dead skin from lips with a toothbrush.
5) Don’t Ignore Eyebrows: Men need to take care of their eyebrows just like women. Come to Park for the perfect shape for your face.
6) Men’s Laser Lifting: Don’t forget nuts and berries with our Perfect Laser. Remove discoloration from ingrown hairs, skin tags, improve overall tone and texture in the area.
7) No Grandpa Eyes: You can have the procedure in the office using Botox and fillers. If needles scare you, try a Cell Repair Serum to induce cell turnover and minimize lines and wrinkles without irritation.
8) Don’t Forget Your Water and Vitamins: Daily MultiProtect gives you your daily dose of vitamins and encourages your water intake.
9) Be sure to remove pore-clogging/pore-causing products at night: Products such as men’s hair gel and styling pastes can transfer to the skin and clog facial pores—causing acne. It is essential to wash your face every night and let your skin breathe fresh air.
10) Keeping Nails Groomed: You do not need a full manicure but it is important to keep your nails neat. Trim and file nails regularly, and trim nails. No biting!
