What is men’s skin like?

Men’s skin is thicker and produces more sebum, and daily shaving constantly stresses it. That makes it more prone to large pores, blackheads, ingrown hairs and redness. That is exactly why it is worth tailoring the treatment to the condition of your skin.

How do you choose?

Your skin is acne-prone, oily or prone to blackheads: Hydra cleansing treatment, or the carbon peel if pigment spots bother you too.
You want a thorough treatment in a single session: a Hydra and carbon combination.
You need a tidy face quickly for an event: Express facial refresh.
Uneven texture or pigment spots, and it is between October and May: Green Sea Peel.

What should you watch out for after the treatment?

Use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, avoid strong sunshine, the sauna, the solarium and intense exercise for 48 hours, and don’t squeeze the skin. You can carefully resume shaving from the next day. You can go to work straight after the treatments.
