Shop Wisely
The most important part of a man’s skin care regime is shaving and while this has been a ritual practised by men for centuries, there are a few modern products that can make this ritual more soothing and successful. Exfoliation is as key to a man’s skin care regime as to a woman’s but for different reasons.
Exfoliating your skin before you shave will ensure that you achieve a much smoother and closer shave. Your skin will be prepped before you shave, so irritations should be limited.
Always apply a face cream after you have shaved your skin and even if you don’t shave daily, you should cleanse your face with a gentle foam wash and moisturise afterwards. Contrary to the misconception that frequent scrubbing is the way to control skin’s oiliness, the opposite is actually true: over-zealous cleansing and/or abrasive scrubs can actually stimulate oil production. I suggest you always choose a mild or gentle foaming cleanser to cleanse your skin both morning and night. And to finish, apply your eye cream. The eye area is just as delicate on a man’s face as a woman’s and this is where the first signs of ageing start to show.
For those men who are a little more experienced in the skin care department, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of treatments. As a therapist I do find it extremely important for men to have a facial that is specifically formulated just for them.
I may be biased but would have to recommend the POMEGA5 Cleansing Bar which is extremely gentle yet a thoroughly deep clean for skin that is subject to the harsh rigours of shaving. This treatment features a purifying element that exfoliates and purges pores to get rid of skin impurities and residues.
A fragrant purifying balm addresses imperfections and a pore-minimising clay mask calms and soothes for a clear smooth complexion. This treatment is fantastic to kick-start a new skin care regime or indeed anyone looking for a skin care boost.
Anti-ageing is no longer confined to the female arena and with anti-ageing products specifically formulated for the male skin saturating the male market, men are feeling just as much pressure to not only look good but to feel good too. There is more awareness out there for a male to take as much care of himself as a female, gyms and healthy eating are hot topics.
If you are looking for an anti-ageing treatment try The POMEGA5 Healing Cream where a firming serum and natural collagen- boosting mask helps to smooth wrinkles and banish lines to leave skin tones, firmed and looking fresh.
And with Christmas just around the corner, what better time to get your skin care regime all gift wrapped for you and ready to use for the New Year!

I have been using the Pomega5 products for some time now so thought I would buy the Cleansing Bar for my boyfriend to try. He loved it! He shaves with it everyday and says that unlike other products, it doesn't cause him to break out. I'd recommend this to everyone, male or female!
