Our Smooth Skin for Tough Guys Facial is fully customizable to meet a man’s individual skincare needs. A professional esthetician will listen to your skincare concerns, analyze your skin type, as well as make product, ingredient and treatment recommendations. The goal of your Facialist is to provide you with a Men’s Facial that’s just right for you.

She will start by giving your skin a thorough cleansing to clear the skin of dirt, debris and oil. The cleansing is followed by a deep exfoliation treatment to remove dead skin cells and reveal the healthy skin underneath. Then, she will gently perform any extractions necessary, and finish the facial with a soothing mask. Our man’s facial also includes a rejuvenating scalp massage. 

The entire facial takes around 60 minutes.

We’ve designed our Smooth Skin for Tough Guys Facial with ingredients and steps that meet the unique skincare needs of a man. In general, men have skin that:

• Is Thicker and Tougher: Generally speaking, men’s skin on the face is 25% thicker than women’s. It’s thought to be due to higher Testosterone levels. As a result, men can often struggle with skin texture. A Men’s Facial will work to create a smoother texture to the skin.

• Is More Oily: The secretion of the hormone, Androgen, makes men more prone to oily skin and lifelong issues with acne. A Facial for a man can help with oily skin, including unclogging pores, as well as dealing with active breakouts in the form of whiteheads, blackheads and pimples.

• Has Larger Pores: In addition to skin being more oily, a man’s pore size also contributes to long-lasting acne issues, particularly blackheads and whiteheads. As we said above, a Facial will unclog pores for a smoother, more even texture to the skin.

• Has More Facial Hair: Shaving the face can cause skin irritation including, red rashes, ingrown hairs, razor bumps and itchy skin for men. A Men’s Facial can soothe and calm irritated skin, as well as create a clear, even complexion.

Our licensed medical estheticians are trained and experienced to take these issues into consideration during your facial treatment. 

Of course, it’s also worth noting that skin is as different as each individual. Your esthetician will also offer professional advice about which skincare products, ingredients and cosmetic treatments are right for your particular skin.

Immediately following a Men’s Facial, your skin will be deeply hydrated with greater blood flow to the face. As a result, you can expect a healthy color and smoother texture to the skin. After a month or so, this process will promote cellular regeneration, which will help the skin look younger and more robust. Specifically, your skin will have a more even skin tone with fewer fine lines and wrinkles, as well as minimized pores.

In addition, during a facial, we always target specific concerns that a bring a man to our spa, such as ingrown hairs or blackheads. A series of facial treatments may be required to bring issues like these under control. For example, acne may require a series of sessions. Additionally, red, irritated skin or razor bumps caused by shaving may require more than one Facial for best results.

A Men’s Facial every 4-6 weeks is a great way to maintain your skin and keep it clean, clear and toned. However the frequency of facial treatments depends on your skin type. For example, if you have oily, acneic, large pores or congested skin, you may need to schedule a facial more often to focus on extractions or to soothe inflamed skin. Additionally, if you experience razor bumps after shaving, a facial can focus on evening the skin and soothing irritation. In a nutshell, the frequency of a Men’s Facial is as individual as you are. You can work together with your Facialist to create a maintenance schedule that works for you and your skincare needs.

Our professional estheticians will give you guidance on:

• An at-home skincare regime to maintain your facial results.
• When to schedule your next facial.
• Any other treatments that might be beneficial to the skin.

In a nutshell, in-depth education is part of every treatment at Smooth Synergy® for both men and women and is designed to take the guesswork out of skincare and choosing product. This is true of a Men’s Facial as well.

Our goal is for you to leave with smooth and clear skin, as well as a better understanding of your skin type and how to care for your skin.
