What’s more relaxing and revitalizing than a spa? Spas all over the country offer men-friendly treatments, but these packages can be expensive, time consuming, and create anxiety. With a few skincare products, you can create a home spa experience in your own bathroom. Treat your face and body to the attention it craves and step out feeling like a new man.
1. Set the mood in your bathroom with scented candles and low lighting. Play your favorite relaxing music at a soft volume and turn off your cell phone. In order to enjoy the complete spa experience, make sure your schedule is clear and free of interruptions.
2. Run a hot bath and add drops of essential oil for aromatherapy and relaxing purposes. Essential oils can be found at any health food store or specialty aisles in your local supermarket. Try a few drops of lavender oil to feel tranquil, or mint to feel energized. Soak in the bath and let the oil vapors transport you to bliss. Try not to spend more than 30 minutes in the bath — you don’t want to fall asleep!
3. Take a quick shower and wash your entire body with a body wash containing salicylic acid along with exfoliating gloves to prevent breakouts and eliminate dead skin. Try MenScience Daily Body Wash with MenScience Buff Body Gloves for an easy, all-over exfoliation.
4. Massage a gentle exfoliant on your face, like MenScience Microfine Face Scrub, for one minute. This will cleanse and prepare your skin for the treatments to come.
5. After toweling off, apply a fragrance-free and oil-free moisturizer to your entire body. MenScience Advanced Body Lotion will make you look and feel younger, with nurturing ingredients that restore elasticity and repair dull and drying skin.
6.Dress yourself in a comfortable robe and apply a face mask. MenScience Facial Cleansing Mask contains antioxidants and green tea to clear your pores and soften your skin. Cover your face with the mask and leave on for five to ten minutes.
7. Wash off your face mask and apply a shaving cream or gel with aloe moisturizers. Leave the product, like MenScience Advanced Shave Formula, on for two minutes to provide a smooth surface for shaving and prevent irritation. Shave with a fresh razor blade and rinse the area afterwards.
8. Use an after-shave product to soothe and further cleanse skin. MenScience Post-Shave Repair uses all natural ingredients to tone skin and prevent ingrown hair and shaving bumps.
9. Finally, apply products to the sensitive skin under your eyes on and your lips. MenScience Eye Rescue Formula eliminates dark circles and fine lines around your eyes. Slather on a coat of MenScience Advanced Lip Protection to soften and heal chapped lips.
