Skincare for Men

 Image Skincare posted an article about what men's skincare routine should be. Don't worry guys, it's nothing too girly, just the basics!

Basic Skincare for Men

Does your man’s skincare regimen measure up to his professional need to look his best?  Let’s face it, in this economy every little detail matters whether your guy is looking for new opportunities or solidifying his job security.  His personal appearance plays an important role in how others perceive his energy, credibility, and trustworthiness.

In order to maintain their edge, guys of all ages are interested in taking care of themselves and indulging in image enhancing products, gadgets and treatments – even if they pretend not to!  But since they are still men, they are impatient and less likely to grasp the concept of maintenance routines. In fact they generally prefer to get it over with in one shot.

If the image he presents at work is important to your guy, then getting it over with in one shot isn’t going to do.  Let’s look at some options for the basics.

Although men have thicker skin (didn’t we all know that ladies!)- approximately 0.5mm thicker than women’s, it is also oilier, with larger exposed pores, and more of a tendency to break out in a sweat.  Therefore, using deodorant soaps directly on the face is a practice men should avoid, as this might irritate their skin and leave a residue.  Men should try a cleanser that will leave their skin feeling fresh and clean.

Skin that gets shaved on a regular basis has a whole host of other problems – like red bumps, ingrown hairs and dry patches. For these instances, men should remember that razor burn or cuts can be reduced by using a good cleanser, a good quality scrub every couple of days and a softening shave cream with a sharp razor, followed by a soothing moisturizer.  Of course changing the blades regularly is also vital.

The problem of excessive oil and shine can be addressed by using products like the Clear Cell Salicylic Clarifying Tonic.  The advice of beauty editors is for men to use a weekly treatment product containing salicylic acid.  Keep in mind that, if they are willing to go just one step further, adding atonic can reduce pore size, control oil slicks, and help avoid nasty ingrown hairs.  Guys do need to be mindful of not using a product that’s too harsh, as it will strip away essential oils when the skin is most vulnerable.

While the same basics of skincare apply to both men and women, without a doubt men are definitely taking more notice of what’s looking back at them in the mirror these days.

How does your man’s skincare routine measure up?

Could he use some more encouragement or does he surprise you with the amount of effort he makes taking care of his appearance on a regular basis?

My husband only uses shampoo for his face (a big no no!) One day he will have a normal regimen! Just one day at a time ;)

Deva Products are here!!

Check out this great video that gives some awesome info about the Deva products we now offer at the Haven Salon!

Argan Oil...Liquid Gold

I read a very informative article in the May issue of DERMASCOPE magazine. It gave some great facts about Argan Oil. Argan oil (it's the awesome oil in many of our professional products we sell at The Haven.) Mainly in our Morracan Oil haircare line. Us stylist are always telling our clients how awesome this amazing argan oil is because we have seen the results and many of us use it on ourselves and on almost all our clients daily. For those are you who like a little more detail I thought I would share some great facts. 

In the South- Western parts of Morocco, argan oil is extracted from nuts of argan trees. Often times referred to as "liquid gold". The process used to extract the precious oil from the argan trees is a manual and laborious process that has become a tradition among the local Berber woman. The production of argan oil allows these women to gain social benefits in a country where equal rights are not yet fully established; affording them a sustainable livelihood and an opportunity to earn fair wages. The process to extract the oil as mentioned before is laborious. The initial stage of this process is the actual removal of the nut from the fruit. Next, the shell of each nut is forcibly opened to obtain the kernel. Once all the kernels are collected they are roasted over mild heat. Then the roasted kernels are left to cool, ground in a quern made out of stone, and then blended with water into dough.

- Argan Tree -

- Argan fruit has a green fleshy exterior like an olive, but larger and rounder. Inside, there is a nut with an extremely hard shell, which in turn contains one, two or even three almond shaped kernels. -

- It is said that producing one liter of oil takes about 20 hours worth of work - 

(no wonder this oil doesn't come cheap)

In regards to our personal health and beauty, argan oil is outstanding choice. There are two types of argan oil. one used for cosmetic purposes and one for culinary purposes. Beyond its nutritional benefits, argan oil has many beautifying effects. As a cosmetic medium, the oil is magnificent for hair, skin and nails. In addition argan oil is a rich source of Vitamin E (a strong antioxidant) making it a great way to combat the again process. Argan oil has the ability to lock in moisture. This is great of skin and hair. Locks in moisture in the hair and eliminates frizz. Argan oil helps decrease blowdrying time. Helps hair look and feel so shiny and smooth. Is a great thermal protectant. So great of our dry Utah weather. Great on skin for after waxing or shaving. The list could go on and on. Argan oil provides unparalleled results making it worth of it's informal title...."Liquid Gold".
