Manly Maintenance

Men are becoming more & more aware of the benefits to be gained by a consistent, sophisticated skincare regimen. Washing your face once a day with Irish Spring is not going to cut it. A quality skincare program will result in healthier skin, a more youthful appearance, and smoother, more comfortable shaves.

A daily skincare program is not difficult and does not require a medicine cabinet full of lotions & potions. Use a quality cleaner, toner, & moisturizer. Advice per skin types:

• Dry, thin & sensitive skin – use a gentle cleanser and a vitamin-rich moisturizer to add shine.
• Reddish, warm & extremely sensitive skin – use a gentle cleanser and a moisturizer for sensitive skin.
• Oily, lustrous & think skin – use a oil-free / oil-absorbing moisturizer.

We will help identify your skin type and provide the best at-home skin maintenance regimen for you. Schedule a Fall facial to repair the damage of the Summer sun.

Ward off those Wrinkles

Mic Jagger has certainly led a full life…and God knows he could tell a few stories…but who wants to look like him? Keep those winkles at bay by knowing the enemy, knowing what the enemy does & knowing how to combat the enemy.

• The Sun. Plain and simple. In the event you haven't heard the public service announcement…Emerson Joseph is hear to tell you. It's not hype. It's not a conspiracy theory orchestrated by all the red-heads on the planet who simply can't tan. You must protect yourself from the sun.
• Neglect. Collagen & Elastin are the elements that keep skin looking young and healthy. Neglecting the health of your skin will increase and advance the aging process.
• Life-style choices. Your mama talked to you about clean livin' for a reason. Smoking, Alcohol, Drugs, & Lack of sleep all wreak havoc on your skin.

• Wear Sunscreen. Choose a moisturizer that has sunscreen (at least SPF15).
• Establish & maintain a quality skincare program. If you don't know what that is, read Manly Maintenance.
• Have a facial. You really will see & feel the difference even if you just do it quarterly.
• Drink water, eat your fruits & vegetables, and get some sleep.

Exfoliate: Not just a little-known SAT word

You may have missed Exfoliate on the SAT when you were 18, but there's no excuse to miss it today. Exfoliating agents deeply clean the skin, removing dead skin cells, dirt and oil; allowing skin to breathe and better absorb essential moisture and vitamins. Regular exfoliating will reduce the incidents of in-grown hairs. Your skin will feel clean and renewed and ready for re-hydration. We recommend that you exfoliate 1-2 times per week. And remember to use a quality moisturizer following the scrub.

The Uni-Brow & Back Hair

Seriously, men, do we really need to discuss this? If you truly believe that men were meant to have only one eyebrow, and a carpet on their back, then please read Darwin's Theory of Evolution. This is not so much a topic of discussion as it is a call to action. Please secure the next available appointment to snuff out the final traces of the Cro-Magnon Man.
