MEN FACIAL CARE Steps and Protocols
LIST OF FACIAL CARE SERVICES FOR MEN Beard Lovers Dream Facial Just Because Facial Luxury Facial Opulent Facial It s All About Him Special Occasion Facials Sensitive Skin
Steps for ALL Men s Facial Professional movements during a men's facial should flow with the hair growth. Most massage movements in the beard area should point downward not upward. This goes against the typical esthetic procedures of lifting movements up the neck and face. But in this instance, gravity is not dominant issue. Sensitivity and the tendency for folliculitis (ingrown hair) are the focus. Shaving itself is also quite abrasive to the skin, so men need more protective and healing products. 1. Consultation 2. Preparation 3. Deep cleansing: Cleanse the entire face with a good cleanser. Work the cleanser into the skin under the beard with the fingertips. The brush machine may be used, as long as the hair is not long enough to get caught up in the rotation of the mechanical brush. If the hair is too long, work the area by hand. The key is to clean skin well, under the hair growth, without causing irritation. 4. Apply hot towels to remove the cleanser and rinse, or rinse well with sponges 5. Apply freshener (toner) and wipe off with sponges 6. Analyze the skin
7. Perform the second cleansing with the deep pore or foaming cleanser and brush machine (only brush, sponge) under steam 8. Proceed with normal extractions. Men often required a little more time for extractions 9. Perform the massage for 10-15min. Be firm but not aggressive 10. Remove massage oil/cream with a worm towed 11. Apply a soothing mask for the board area that helps suppress potential irritation. The T- zone often required different mask to draw and tighten skin. Time for 7-10min. Perform massage of hands 12. Rinse thoroughly, living no trace of mask or massage cream/oil on the face, neck, chest, shoulders 13. Refresher /toner 14. Oil free moisturizes, serum, ampules 15. SPF 30 16.
