Men's skin 

Ever wonder why men don’t show aging as quickly as women do?  Men’s skin is 20% thicker and contains more collagen (that also lasts longer), so that’s one of the many reasons why lines and wrinkles don’t show up as quickly.  This does not mean that men should ignore their skin, as there are other concerns that you should be addressing, AND eventually, age will catch up to you as well!  


Men tend to use hotter water while washing, which can strip the Natural Skin Barrier (natural oils on the surface of the skin that protect us from harm) causing the sebaceous glands to work harder and therefore producer more oil.  Typically, men have more oil production (about 2x as much as women) which is usually linked to the higher testosterone levels.  If the skin is left unbalanced, pores will clog, acne with develop, and larger pores will be more evident on the face.  


Although women tend to spend more time on their phones, men spend more time on the computer or watching tv.  Either way, we are all suffering the effect from Blue Light (which is what is emitted from our devices) which has significantly aged us!  The Blue Light interrupts our cell regeneration while we are sleeping, thus contributing to premature aging signs like: loss of firmness, dark circles under the eyes, pigmentation spots and wrinkles.


What to do about all of this?  Daily skin care routines can be very basic or more involved depending on what results you want to achieve from your skin. I have created some alternative routines with product selections for some helpful recommendations.  



Basic Routine:

AM

1.  Wash your face with a pH balanced cleanser and warm water (Yonka’s Men’s Foam Gel)

2.  For a wet shave, apply Yonka’s Men’s Barber Shave and use a sharp blade (check out this shaving article for more details and tips on how to shave)

3.  Apply SPF 15 or higher (GMCollins SPF25 or 50)

PM

1.  Wash your face with a pH balanced cleanser and warm water (Yonka’s Men’s Foam Gel)

2.  Apply balancing Skin Moisturizer like Yonka’s Nutri Moist, or Anti Age Crème (depending on skin type)

Parking...I know that is a sore spot for most of you who drive downtown. The patios have taken over a lot of the on-street parking, but the good news, there will be no weekend street closure this year! (Well maybe for holiday weekend, but not every weekend like the last two years). 

The city has also started drawing lines to show where to park and have added some temporary angled spots along Cork St & Wyndham St. 

Please continue to arrive a bit early to ensure you have time to find a spot prior to your appointment. Also remember for those of you who are able, the Macdonnell St Lot and Wilson St Parkades are just a short walk and cost the same.

FYI... the train tracks are being replaced between the Wilson St. Parkade and the Farmers Market, so the road will be closed until at least June 8th, then again July 11-Aug 10. The Wilson Parkade is still accessible from both entrances, but you can only exit from Northumberland exit. There is also no pedestrian access to the Farmers market during this time.



As you know, Mairin, Jenna and I are all sole practitioners and rely on your appointments to keep us in business. We also service clients who are seniors and who have compromised immune systems. With that in mind, we will be continuing our Covid protocols (even though Ontario will be lifting Covid requirements). We kindly ask you to continue wearing your facial mask, fill-in your online Covid Self-Assessment (within 24 hours of your appt), and provide your QR Code Vaccination Status when you arrive for your services. If you have any questions, please let me know.



We thank you for your support of small businesses and keeping us all safe and healthy.
