YOU DEMAND THE BEST
You are decisive, strong and deservedly demanding the best with your precious money and time. You want to look younger (and feel even younger) while still looking like yourself. But it’s not simply vanity or anti-ageing that’s your motivation, it’s also confidence. Wrinkles signify stress, sweaty palms equal nervousness and under eye circles are evidence of reckless nights. And that’s before the years of smoking, sun exposure or excessive boozing leave reminders in the form of hyper-pigmentation, rosacea or psoriasis. Yikes. It might sound like a tall order to correct the sins of the past, but that’s because you don’t know Skin by Cathy’s arsenal of tricks and tools designed especially for men.
FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE
Prevention is easier than correction. Start by using SPF 30 every day — even when it’s cloudy. (Read SKIN CANCER MYTHS DEBUNKED to learn more). We love Heliocare, but walk into any Boots and buy whichever brand you like. Another benefit from SPF is immediate anti-ageing in the form of deep hydration.
Now that you are layered up with sunscreen, invest in a good serum. Don’t raid your partner’s stash of skincare, hoping a little dab here and there will make a difference. It won’t (at least not noticeably). Instead, get in the habit of washing your face before bed and applying a serum and/or nightcream (we know the idea of an extensive routine is a turn-off, so we're helping you focus on the most important steps). We love Obagi because it’s packed with anti-ageing, skin-boosting and complexion-enhancing power — that’s why you can only buy it from a licensed doctor or nurse. (LEARN WHY WE LOVE OBAGI)
HEAVY-HITTERS
No matter your concern — from acne to sun damage, from wrinkles to jowls, and from hair loss to hyperhidrosis — Skin by Cathy has a solution. Common problems for men along with appropriate solutions include:
WRINKLES: botulinum toxin (botox), dermal fillers, medical grade Obagi skincare
ANTI-AGEING: Sculptra volume restoration, mesotherapy, Dermapen facial tightening, chemical peels, hyper-pigmentation, sun damage
SCULPTING: sagging jowls, lip lines, nose, cheeks, brows, neck (While not as widely discussed, men are quickly catching up to women when it comes to sculpting, balancing and lifting facial features)
CORRECTING: hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating under arms and palms), acne scar removal, migraines, hairloss
Much weight rests on your shoulders no matter your age or aspirations. Why not add another layer of protection and boost your confidence before going into battle.
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects. Oscar Wilde
Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. Mark Twain
WORDS OF CAUTION: With the ubiquity of cosmetic procedures, also comes risks in the form of unqualified and inexperienced practitioners. No two faces are the same and the structure of a man’s face is completely different than a woman’s. Those differences demand an artistic touch for natural-looking results. Sounds obvious, I know, but it’s the subtle differences that matter most. That’s why we insist on a thorough consultation before any treatment.
