18|8 Keller is proud to be your choice when you\u2019re looking for a men\u2019s salon around the areas of Keller and Westlake, TX. We\u2019re not just a barbershop and hair salon, we\u2019re your one-stop source for all your men\u2019s grooming needs. Among our many services our expertly trained barbers offer, they\u2019re also able to provide facials. Many men have never received a facial and believe that it\u2019s just for women. This is false. Facials are meant for men just as much as they are for women \u2013 and men actually need them more too! Here are a few reasons why a man\u2019s skin needs facials more than a woman does.<\/p>\n
No matter how often you shave, doing so will inevitably cause irritations on your face such as razor burn and inflammation. A facial won\u2019t just soothe this irritated skin, but it will also address your shaving side effects to make your skin smoother. This will allow your future shaves to be smoother and also less painful.<\/p>\n
Men have higher testosterone levels than women, leading them to produce more oil on their skin. Oil won\u2019t just make a man\u2019s skin appear greasy, but it can also clog the skin\u2019s pores which then lead to blackheads and pimples. When you come into 18|8 Keller for a facial, extractions will be performed. This essentially means that we\u2019re removing the oil and dirt that happens to be clogging your pores.<\/p>\n
Another difference between men\u2019s and women\u2019s skin is that men\u2019s skin has a much higher collagen density than women\u2019s. Collagen density has a direct relationship to skin aging and it\u2019s said that it makes a man\u2019s skin appear up to 15 years younger than a woman\u2019s skin of the same age. However, this difference isn\u2019t that noticeable and much of it is because of one simple reason: men don\u2019t use sunscreen as often as women do. Without proper protection, the sun\u2019s UV rays can negate the benefit of the increased collagen density and make a man\u2019s skin appear more aged. Facials can help repair some of this sun damage that may occur over time.<\/p>\n
