Facial Treatment For Men + How To Improve Smoothness Of Complexion - Recommendation & Advice (Compiled)

[Guest Guest_Carrot Cake Man]

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a place for facial that is good and all. i had got very bad experiance with faces of men, so i dont think i want to go there.

I am kinda of embarrassed to go to a female environment, so unless i have no choice, i think i want to look at other alternative.

Leonard Drake seems very expensive.

Where else do you guys goes ?

Hopefully i can find a place that i dont feel pressurize to sign up for package and at the same time feel comfortable to go back for more treatment.

*sigh* Everywhere you go is the same. They will pester you to sign up a package and it is a huge sum you've to pay upfront. I gave up liao and DIY at home.

[Panda_9791]

Hi Guest, yes i agree with u, Face of Man sucks... i feel so cheated after 1 try.

Now Now, there are always the trusty HDB aunties from those small time facial parlours. I'm going to the aunty at my estate and she's the best and from my experience, they seldom hard sell guys on facial products.

[DirtyOldMan]

No need to waste money to do facial, that will spoit your skin and make you dependent on facial as it reduces your natural skin to act naturally. Try to just wash your face with a good quality facial soap and cream, I use those natural made from chest nuts, very good. Washing face is very important as it also stroke your facial blood vessels with massaging effort. Do not apply anything on your face later. Instead, do the cleansing from within, take a good balance of Vitamin B, zinc and C. Make sure you take a lot of fiber rich food and have bowels daily( for me sometimes one day 6 times ) as constipation will kill your skin. Take lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. With these your skin will be smooth and shinny, better than been facial. Facial, if not done properly can destroy you facial skin tissues. Be 100% natural and non-addictive should be much more attractive than an artificial facial.

DirtyOld Man, i agree with you, consuming all these vegs and fruits are good and facial if not done properly can be bad. But i disagree that facial is all bad. Learned from my dermatologist friend, all people are born with different skin conditions. Some need more care and work done than others. So the right facial treatment can actually make one look more radiant and nice.

I agreed that a good facial with masaging effect can make the sacking skin firm but must look for a good facialist, not some one has no knowledge and just practice on your skin. I have not been to one facial yet but if you can tell me a good and cheap on maybe I want to try. When do facial do we need to strip ?

Well, you can consider a chemical peel. I did mine at Raffles Hospital.

Makes the skin feel softer and look younger. The effects better than any facials i have been.

You can do it once a month. Cost that time was $320 for 4 peels. Not sure if the price has increased.

The chemical peels are done by a doctor and they dun push products.

[Guest AlphaTop]

If I am not wrong, Eric's (Diamond's former masseur) partner, Ben does facial at their place in Hougang. I am not sure if he is still doing that though.

[harylok]

...what I think..

1. proper diet (cut down supper & late hour meal)

2. Drink more water, drink more...

3. Enough sleep (Very important)

4. Detox product (2 /4 times per month)

5. Good health product for supplyment

6. Exercise (Blood circulation)

6a. Dont expose too much to the sun (use lotion if at Swimming during noon-early-afternoon)

7. If u really want to go for facial, choose one reputable one)

BTW. I have one PLU uncle friend (65+). Hardly use washing foam all his life. Only water. His skin is so smooth from TOP-2-BTM

One more thing, try to relax and dont pressue yourself with work & other.

Stay optimistic and learn to offload stress.

Hary

[harylok]

...one more pt. to add.

Heard that consume "Cum" helps too .....hahaha (not sure if's there any medical proof, I only know cum contains protien)

Hary

Be Happy & Dont worry, and you will have a youngful look.

[Guest Guesty]

Heard that consume "Cum" helps too .....hahaha (not sure if's there any medical proof, I only know cum contains protien)

There is no medical proof that cum helps to make one youthful.

But there is medical evidence that tainted cum can cause HIV.

[diggie]

i use Dermalogica.... :thumb:

[TopChinese]

i use Dermalogica.... :thumb:

Any professionals to recommend who uses Dermalogica products?

Am tired of relying on bukkake to keep my face young and supple.

[diggie]

cleansing at home is the most important step... however, you do need to go salon for a "deep cleansing" every 2 or 3 weeks... depends on your skin type.

drink and sleep more.....

I don't have problematic facial skin, so i use hazeline snow cream.

[Guest Facial]

Facial that is good for the skin = Bukkake + swallow = beauty from inside out

[Cool]

I am also looking for a facial service, either home-based or shop based. So long as AJ friendly and reasonable price with good reliable service will do.

:thumb: PM me if there's any recommendations.

[TopChinese]

Try Donovan / Facemaker. Sessions by appointment only.

I tried him a couple of weeks ago at his studio in Orchard Plaza.. he uses Dermalogica products only and I was pampered during my 45 min session. Felt like a new man after the facial. His services are also very popular with professionals in their 30/40s.

PM me for his mobile.

[Guest another]

how much is the cost for the 45 min treatment.

[hornyme]

Do you guys think that facial,seen as somewhat feminine,being embraced by men these days?I see alot of mature men having red radiant glowy screen due to facial.

Where do you guys frequent for facial sessions,if any?

[jurongwest]

DIY facial...

Cos save money and also i learn it over the year as a freelance makeup artist as part time professional

Ha ha ha...

Can teach u if u keen...

Times has changed. In my age people looked down upon feminine men but now it is a fashion - especially in Japan. In fact, most of the Japanese men are quite feminie and I am used to it.

Similary, men also can have cosmetic and definitely facial. I recommend to do real facial from internal first, meaning your bowel, Your bowel must be cleaned. Take plenty of vegatables, fruits, beans and balanced diet and make sure, I also written in another thread, you really have a real satisfactory toilel/bowel ( "pan-sai" ) and it has to be a real satisfactory-one, it has to dropped like a Hiroshima bomb, you know what I mean, more than once per day is even better. Second, use a spoon to massage your face. Always wash your face, even you do not have any facial soap. here is my method :-

1. Clean your hands with normal soaps to make sure they are clean.

2. With your cleaned hand naked wash your entire face and squeeze off the oils and dirts.

3. Repeat 1 and 2 until you feel your face is clean.

The good thing above is you can do it anything and build a habit.

You will find that this is the best facial.

DOM( Nice liquor don't you know ? Or ask your Mum she will tell you )

I actually have done alot of DIY facials before but it somehow doesnt seem to work effectively.

I would want to visit a facial shop to get my face glowy (i donno but somehow i like glowy faces) but i dont know which facial shop to go.Most facial shops are open concept and its quite embarassing for a guy to enter.

[Stoner79]

1. Clean your hands with normal soaps to make sure they are clean.

2. With your cleaned hand naked wash your entire face and squeeze off the oils and dirts.

3. Repeat 1 and 2 until you feel your face is clean.

DOM:

1) using Normal soaps is too drying for the skin on your face. unhealthy. kindly understand the skin on your face and body is different. its much thinner.

2) squeezing off oils and dirts is not recommended. if done uncorrectly, will cause spot to become swollen and infected. and later, scars.

3) double washing your face with such drying soap is bad enough. and you are double washing your face with open wounds?

just use a good facial scrub to give it a good scrub 2-3 times a week should be sufficient to rid the excess oil and dirt.....

there are currently some facial shops that cater specially to men. so what's there to be embarasseing about? shops like Faces Of Men.

hey stoner, u are right, these days facial for guys are so common, nobody is going to even look at u when u are at a nail spa. I prefer the facial auntie downstairs at my estate. I think she has one of the best facial skills. I've tried Face of Men and don't like it. Its expensive and the beauticians are not skillful. I feel that the regular aunties-operated ones are better than those catered for men.

Did your face improves after ur visit? Are your scars/pimples/rash diminished or eliminated?

Is ur face glowy?

[Panda_9791]

They are all over the housing estate areas or central. Mine's at geylang area. If u wanna look for them, i think Bishan or Toa Payoh has alot.

To keep the complexion fresh and clean, treat the face well. Never rub too hard with towel or tissue. That's to prevent micro-tear on the skin. Never squeeze any part of the skin, even if there's dirt. Use hot/ warm water to splash on the face before applying facial cleanser. Best way to get rid of all the dirt is to have 15min of intensive excercise (must be strenous enough for continuous sweating). Alternatively, hang around in a really hot steam room for at least 5 min. Swimming laps at night will also help.

how much does this cheap facial sessions cost per try?

[Panda_9791]

Another way is to drink a small bottle of Guiness stout per night, you will have fantastic toilet bowel next day and your skin will be smooth.

I'm not sure about that... i rather have a bad skin than bad liver (from all that stout every night)...

[DirtyOldMan]

I'm not sure about that... i rather have a bad skin than bad liver (from all that stout every night)...

Actually a little alcohol a day has proven to be positive for health. A small bottle will do, let your liver rests 2 days er week if you worried. What Guiness has is the fermented yeast full of Vitamin B complex and it can help to norish your skin throw bowel movements.

DOM( Nice liquor don't you know ? Or ask your Mum she will tell you )

[Hermes]

yup a little alcohol a day has proven to help in our body but still have to depend on ur own body i guess.... some have heaty base cant take Guiness cos it will be too heaty for them ... i guess drinking more water and detox ur body once a while help???

if ur face already have acne and pimple scar ..maybe going national skin centre will help cos at least the doc there will help u to get rid of ur acne ... scar..i think abit difficult ..... but like wat stoner said its so common nowadays to see guys going facial or nail spa.. so dont be shy ...

[jurongwest]

Actually, the scarring on the face can be improved if u take good care of your skin from now on...

Nothing is too late...

To improve the skin texture, u may consider taking the following

1) Vit B to reduce redness and scarring

2) Vit C for Antioxidant

3) Coenzyme Q10 for collegen rebuilding

Detox is also a very good form of cleasing not just your liver but also add that extra glow in your skin cos of the toxin being taken out of your body but however, some people may develop bad acne problem during the initial stage of detoxification... So do take note else one can easily mistake that the detox program not suitable.

Taking care of your skin need lots of attention... U need to first understand what skin type u are in...

1) Oily Skin - T Zone Oily, easy breakout ( most men tends to in this category due to thick skin structure and facial oil gland more developed)

2) Dry Skin - Tendency to flake easily, prone to wrinkles, need use moisturizer constantly to make up for the insufficient production of sebum.

3) Combination Skin - Combination of 2 skin type... e.g oily t-zone etc

4) Sensitive Skin - Fine texture, sensitive to changes in climate

5) Normal Skin

Knowing which cat of skin u are in then it is easier to cater for your facial need.

Normal Daily regime should include basic of cleansing, toning and moisturising.

Weekly regime should include scrubing (twice a week) and masque (once a week minimum)

However putting the product at the right place will also maximum the result of glowing skin.

For example for me, dailt process is like this

Cleanse - Toner - Anti Aging Serum - Eye Creme - Moisture

Weekly process

Cleanse with Makeup Remover - Scrub - Masque - Cleanse with Cleanser - Anti Aging Serum - Eye Creme -Moisture

It may seem lots of thing to put but for beauty and glory... Must do lor

[hornyme]

Hey which facial centre,either the aunty one or whatever,got offer facial sessions that would enhance the skin such that i'll make it glow? Do state the price too,I dont mind the cost at all.

I think you mis-read me. I know normal soap is no good for facial skin, let us you are outside and have no facial shampoo with you. You can still clean your face. As written by me, wash you hand with soap then rinse until no more soap. With the claned palm clean so you will see all oils and dirts will be in your palm, then wash you hand with soap and rinse again and repeat until satisfied, normally 3 or 4 round will do. I think I left out the setence rinse your hand until no more soap so you can rub your face with cleaned palm. Thus you can offer a massage to your face and the palm is the perfect tool as it is soft and friendly.

can anyone here tell me where specifically is the facial shop you guys frequent and whats the cost thanks.Dont just say what the shop do,tell me which shop it is so i can go there since its recommended.

[DirtyOldMan]

Go to the Naturs's Farm or similar good pharmacist to ask for a good recommendation of facial soap, preferably made of natural fruits. I chose one made from Chestnuts and it is perfect. Also, why need to visit facial shop as it costs a lot you know ? You can do it yourself at home.

[Guest sweetlava]

Hi Hornyme

My female colleague goes to this Facial Shop at the basement of People's Park Complex. Price may differ as she has been a regular since secondary school days. So, you can call the beautician Jasmine at 65330068 to make further enquiries.

I realised the auntie shops are better than those so called professional ones.

Is there any aunty shops you'd like to reccommend?And quote the price too.Or,if can,the contact no.

[Guest Dicky]

What auntie? Nowadays these facial shops are run by local Ah lians or China Ah lians.

[Guest Teen Problem]

I am keen in going for facial but I don't know which place I should go.I want to tighten my skin and make it a little red-which looks fresh! Any recommendations/experience to share?

Even for non-branded facial shops like auntie-managed ones ,do state the address so that I may try out.Thanks alot! I am really desperate to reform my face here.

[homme]

for acne problem, you should make an appointment to nsc (national skin centre) for professional help.

[Guest mango]

you should always solve ur sensitive skin and acne problem first above anything else by visiting a dermatologist.. take oral medication (most with side effects) if necessary.. any other treatment will irritate the skin and increase ur acne breakout..
