Skincare Tips for Men

At 18|8 Louisville, it is our mission to help you look and feel your best every single day, which goes beyond just giving you a great haircut. We want to help you with every facet of your appearance, and healthy, vibrant skin is an important part of looking good. Great skin takes work, though, so here are a few simple tips for keeping your skin looking healthy and happy.

Moisturize

Guys, we get it: the thought of regularly moisturizing can be a little strange. All those fancy-smelling creams and lotions can be a bit overwhelming, and after all, aren’t these products usually marketed towards women? Well, let us set the record straight. Everyone needs to moisturize, men included, and a regular moisturizing regimen is one of the most important things you can do for the health of your skin.

The fact is that exposure to sunlight, regular wear and tear, and even a hot shower can strip your skin of the oils and nutrients it needs to look its best. A quality moisturizer helps to restore the natural, healthy composition of your skin, leaving you looking refreshed and revitalized. If your skin is really under the weather, you can also come by our barbershop for a luxurious facial, scalp, or hand treatment to restore everything your skin’s been missing.

Sharpen Up Your Shave

After what feels like a good shave, you may at times start to feel a little bit of itchiness or even notice razor burn. But it doesn’t have to be this way. To avoid razor burn, tune up your shaving routine by using a pre-shave oil or a hot shower to soften your facial hair before cutting, and try working in a moisturizing after shave to calm irritated skin after a shave. If your razor is cheap or old, ditch it for a high-quality, sharp blade – or better yet, come into 18|8 for the best shave you’ve ever had.

Healthy Life, Happy Skin

Skin care, however, isn’t just skin deep. The truth is that everything you do for your body impacts your skin, and the concept of “beautyrest” isn’t just a wive’s tale. To keep your skin at its best, make sure you get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, and drink plenty of water. These steps will help give your body everything it needs to keep your skin looking great naturally.
