Every year I undergo a course of 6-8 ultrasonic cleaning procedures: once a week a cosmetologist cleanses me, and the quality of my skin noticeably improves. I am simply delighted with Ksenia’s magical hands. Despite the procedure, I don’t have to sit at home with redness; on the same day I can meet with friends or go on business. In literally 40 minutes, my skin is transformed, and my pores are noticeably narrowed.” Tatyana, 35 years old

Skin problems in men. Ways to solve the problem
How can a man get rid of oily facial skin? Experts recommend that men facing the problem of increased fat content first of all adjust their diet, namely, minimize the consumption of carbohydrates and sugar. By reducing your intake of foods rich in sugars and carbohydrates, you can significantly improve your skin condition. It is important that the diet is balanced and selected taking into account all the characteristics of a particular person.
Smoking is also one of the factors that negatively affects skin condition. Everyone knows that nicotine has a detrimental effect on health, and it also has a negative effect on the skin of the face. Under its influence, the pores become wide and become clogged much faster with sebaceous plugs, under which a variety of microbes thrive, causing inflammation and suppuration.
Unfortunately, in most cases, the deterioration of oily skin in men is caused by a banal failure to comply with basic hygiene rules. All people accumulate sebum, dust, sweat and dirt on their face throughout the day, which is invisible to the eye, but still floats in the air. This “nuclear mixture” completely fills the pores over time, causing inflammation.
If you do not cleanse your skin regularly, touch your face with your hands and do not follow basic hygiene rules, it will be almost impossible to get rid of oily skin and the problems that accompany it. Therefore, you need to accept the fact that not only women, but also men need to wash their face at least in the morning and evening, plus a daily shower.
After any physical activity, be it working out in the gym, cultivating the garden, or carrying furniture while moving, you should at least wash your face to remove sweat and oil and prevent dirt from clogging your pores.
What does men's skin need?
The structure of men's skin is different from women's. In men, the epidermis is several layers thicker, and there is more collagen in the dermis - so men's skin retains its elasticity longer. Due to the male hormone testosterone, the sebaceous glands are much more active, and during adolescence, many men develop rashes on their faces. Then the hormonal levels, as a rule, stabilize, so more mature male skin is rarely problematic. However, now she is regularly exposed to stress due to shaving and needs special, masculine care.
Peels and masks for men
Sometimes you want to expand your usual care with something powerful and intense, such as peeling or a mask. What can you say about a product that is both at the same time?! Super practical 3 in 1 format - deep cleansing of pores, exfoliation of dead skin particles and elimination of oily shine.
