men’s skincare: What to expect

Should men shave before a facial?

Yes, we recommend shaving about six to eight hours prior to your facial appointment. Since shaving is a form of exfoliation, having that window between your last shave and your facial will help avoid bringing any irritation to your skin. If you are scheduled to have a facial in the morning, we recommend shaving the night before your appointment. If you are scheduled for an afternoon facial, we recommend shaving first thing in the morning. 

How often should men get a facial?

By now we should all know that facials are a luxury spa service for both men AND women. With just a single treatment at Gameela Skin, you will reap the benefits of clean and glowing skin for weeks to come. So just how often should you schedule a facial to maintain that glow? On average, your skin’s life cycle of moving through exfoliation and new cell growth is about 30 days long. Our skincare specialists recommend getting a facial about one time per month, or about every 3-4 weeks.

what to expect for a mens facial

Our facial treatments are always customized to each of our clients skincare needs. In general, your appointment will include the following: 

1. A consultation to discuss your skin type and any skin concerns you’d like us to address. 

2. Our esthetician will then begin by cleansing your skin to start with a clean canvas. 

3. Skin exfoliation! Exfoliating helps shed dead skin cells which allows our products to be better absorbed by the skin. 

4. Steam and extractions. Extractions help to remove dirt and build up from your skin’s pores. During this process we add steam to help open up your skin’s pores, making it easier for us to properly remove blackheads and whiteheads. 

5. We’ll apply a face mask that contains high quality ingredients to address your skin type and skin concerns. (Yep - face masks aren’t just for the ladies)

6. Saving the best for last, we will massage and moisturize your skin. Almost all of our facial treatments end by massaging a selected moisturizer that will leave your skin feeling rejuvenated.

Is waxing good for men?

Nowadays, more and more men are embracing waxing to remove unwanted body hair and we are here for it. Our skincare specialists at Gameela Skin highly recommend waxing for men for a few reasons:

1. Body hair absorbs perspiration. So the less body hair you have, the less body odor you have. Thats a win!

2. Removing body hair can help improve performance in sports. Think less hair to weigh you down on the bike, running, swimming, etc.

3. Waxing also removes dead skin cells which allows new and rejuvenated skin to grow in. This will help you achieve more youthful looking skin!

4. Hair regrowth will be finer and softer after waxing. After waxing for a long period of time, men will notice that hair growth will slowly diminish. 

5. Waxing is actually one of the least painful methods of hair removal. The more you wax, the less pain you will feel.
