Hair Removal
Just like women, men need or want to remove body hair
for various reasons. The way men choose to get rid of
their unwanted hair will depend on personal choice and
circumstances. Shaving is obviously the most convenient
and effective way to remove facial hair. However, for when
it comes to body hair, waxing and laser treatments are
recommended. Men have much coarser hair than women,
therefore methods that will eliminate or cease re-growth are
best suited to them. Most popular areas for men to treat are
the dreaded monobrow, as well as hair growth on the back,
the back of the neck, nostrils, ears and earlobes.
Skin care
Men’s skin is susceptible to many of the same problems as
women’s and should be looked after with at least a basic
skincare regime. Beauty salons and skincare companies have
developed advanced treatments and products specifically
designed for men. Most men won’t bother applying an array
of skincare products, but a good cleanser and moisturiser
should be used daily. Men’s skin is generally about 15%
oilier than women and has larger pores. This means it is
much easier for dirt, grime and dead cells to get trapped in
the pores, causing all kinds of problems such as acne and
blackheads. Because of this, proper cleansing and exfoliating
to remove dead skin cell build up is important. There are a
lot of great two-in-one cleansers and exfoliator products on
the market that cater for men. Despite its oiliness, men’s
skin can become dehydrated. Dehydration and excessive sun
exposure will eventually lead to ageing skin and wrinkles.
Using a good oil-free moisturising lotion with a SPF 30+ will
help combat this.
Grey hair and balding
Even if they don’t care about anything else going grey, or
worse, bald are two things that strike terror into even the
least metrosexual of men. If you notice grey hair it’s a good
idea to dye it rather than pluck it out. If you are losing hair,
get a shorter haircut to make it look less conspicuous.
ciaobellaspecialpromotion
In recent years, the beauty industry has
identified the need to develop advanced,
specialised treatments and products especially
for men. There are more beauty services available to
men than ever before and the demand is constantly growing.
Most beauty salons will offer men an array of treatments to
cater for their specific beauty needs and now you will notice
there are many salons designed solely for men. I have sourced
the best in male beauty treatments in the Inner West. Check
these out and Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there!

Beauty
MankindMen visiting a beauty salon is strange, right? Wrong! Attitudes have
changed, and now it’s become just as vital for men to look good
as it is for women. History reveals that in the past men would use
kohl – known as“guyliner”, but to most modern-day men beauty
doesn’t go any further than simple grooming. But regardless of
whether you are a performer needing to wear stage makeup or
an accountant needing a tidy-up manicure to look professional,
beauty should be part of sophisticated gentleman’s lifestyle.
2Men’s Skin Care
Men’s skin is thicker and denser than
women, therefore require skin treatments
and products which bring energy. Their skin
is often irritated by shaving and needs extra
softening and firming. Advanced Beauty and
Body Care have the answer – The ENERGY
Facial. Products used in this treatment have
an invisible, non-greasy comfortable texture,
containing detoxifying, soothing and cleansing
actives to give that energy drink to the skin.

4Botox
More and more men are becoming
concerned with ageing just as much as
women, but did you know that Botox can
also be used to combat excessive sweating?
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is
something that can cause embarrassment and
discomfort, especially in the social or public
speaking arena. Treatment can be done on any
area of the body where sweat is produced and
has long lasting effects.

Man boobs
This is another source of shame for many gents
of a certain age. As men get closer to thirty, the
metabolism that keeps them from building up fat and
growing man boobs tends to slacken. To get rid of
this embarrassing problem you need to do cardio-
aerobic exercises as well as anaerobic (weightlifting)
exercises. Particularly good is the bench press – a
machine at the gym that focuses on your upper chest.
You also need to adjust your diet and drink less beer.
Sorry guys, just like us women know all too well,
beauty is pain.

QACiao talks Men’s Beauty
QMy skin is always getting burns
and nicks from shaving. What’s
the best way to stop that happening?
Colin, Balmain
AOnly apply the pressure you
need when shaving. Don’t press
too hard. Use cold water rather than
warm when removing the cream.
Dry your face well and use a lotion
to help soothe your skin at the end.
A blunt blade is the most common
cause of nicks when shaving. Make
sure you always use a sharp blade
even if it means changing it once a
week, although this can prove to be
an expensive business. Try preserving
the life span of your blades by
cleaning them thoroughly after each
shave then dipping them in a little
mineral oil and rinsing it off. The oil
mitigates the process that dulls the
edges. Using an electric shaver is
another alternative and is great if you
suffer blemishes.
QI have good hygiene practice,
wearing deodorant every day
and showering often but I still have
BO. What can I do to get rid of it?
Embarrassed, Leichhardt
AHormones will generally cause
men to have stronger body odour
than women, although diet can also
contribute. Men tend to sweat more
excessively, particularly if they do
very physical work. It can be a very
embarrassing problem and occurs
more often in the warmer months.
A large percentage of BO comes
from the armpits, so try trimming
the hair in that area to discourage
the bacteria that causes BO. Wear
light colours and cotton clothes
will absorb less heat, keeping you
feeling cooler. Foot odour is another
embarrassing problem common in
men. You can help eliminate foot
odour by scrubbing your feet morning
and night, ensuring your feet are
completely dry before applying shoes,
using foot and shoe deodorisers and
wearing cotton socks.
