March is for Men March 2019 at Oleander Aesthetics

Gone are the days of just dragging a bar of soap across your face.-- gentlemen, start setting the bar for better skin! This winter has taken its toll on everyone’s skin, making it extra dry and more sensitive. Not to mention that shaving everyday causes its own set of problems, leading to bumps, irritation, and chronic redness. Facial treatments are a great way to start making steps towards better skin and a smoother shave; your skin will thank you!
It’s my very first facial.  Which service should I choose?
I recommend a 60 Minute Facial. During this personalized facial, I will assess what your needs are and create a customized treatment. You can expect to be treated with IMAGE skincare cleansers, herbal infused steam and towels, ultrasonic exfoliation, extractions (goodbye blackheads), masquing, serums and moisturizing/SPF infusion.  People are unaware of how relaxing a facial really is. While helping address and fix your skin concerns you will stay relaxed and comfortable with a soothing facial, shoulder, arm and hand massage.

Should I shave right before my facial?
Please don’t. If you are having a morning facial, feel free to shave before bed, and if you are having an evening facial, shave first thing in the morning. Remember, shaving is a form of exfoliation and we wouldn’t want to irritate your skin further.

I would love something more aggressive to get rid of what I consider problematic and/or dull looking skin. I need you to bring back my glow! What do you recommend?
There are several options to choose from at Oleander Aesthetics.  The Hydra-Flow Facial is a customizable treatment that combines five steps: Cleansing, exfoliation, painless Vortex extraction, ageless hydration and The Oxygen Infusion Treatment.  It uses skin exfoliating technology called hydro-dermabrasion, which blasts the skin with an oxygenated and vitamin-infused water via a wand equipped with a resurfacing tips which also helps to lift off dead skin cells—sort of like giving your face a very gentle and effective
power wash!
For optimal results a series of chemical peels would be necessary to correct skin imperfections such as acne scaring, wrinkles, pigmentation, and redness caused by rosacea.

Lastly, there’s nothing wrong with “pampering” yourself.  You work hard and you deserve to unburden yourself in a nice calming space. Facial treatments are known to be very relaxing both physically and emotionally.
So, treat yourself, man!
