RAW SHAVING TIPS by Rhonda Allison

When you prepare your skin with the RAW cleansing and exfoliating method, the morning shave is a breeze. We have had many men say they are now going electric because their skin is much healthier while getting a close, smooth shave.

Remember, RAWs ReZone Sake Toner is your partner in reducing ingrown hairs and Stone Power takes the sting out of shaving.

Radical Redux breaks down cellular cohesion, meaning a smoother

skin surface.

One of the most common skin issues for men is pseudofolliculitis, also known as ingrown hairs. This is a huge

problem for men generally resulting from shaving, but is easily controlled with proper skin care and proper shaving.

• Wet Shave. Hot water from shower or sink prior to shave softens skin, expands pores and sets the stage for a more comfortable shave.

• Use a badger hair brush to smooth on a glycerin-based shaving gel.

• Use a DE razor. Get rid of disposable razors and invest in a good reusable razor.

• Apply ReZone after shaving to prevent irritations, ingrown hairs, and raised bumps.

Regardless if you follow the  "old fashioned" method of shaving or not, if you are prone to ingrown hairs or other irritations, inlcude ReZone daily as part of the final step for shaving.

RAW-for men only

 

BridalGal Radiant Face & Body intoduces the first skin care line for men, By Rhonda Allison at our Lounge.  RAW!

As more and more brides come to our Skin Lounge to get beautified, facial therapies, peels to get their skin ready for their wedding day, and seeing great results with every single treatment they encourage and send their fiances and soon to be grooms, husbands,   to our Lounge for similar treatments. 

As more and more men show up at our Lounge to get same results and  seeking our expertise we saw the need to expand our ladies ladies brides line to include the manly man groom and best man line. We call it RAW!

 

Why RAW?

RAW has been formulated specifically for men using the best of nature and science. We have brought in all-important earthy, organic minerals and plants and partnered them with cutting edge bio-tech ingredients for the ultimate in skin rejuvenation.

The RAW commitment is to address men’s skin needs. . . .

Their commitment is the daily RAW METHOD. 

HOW DO MASCULINE HORMONES AFFECT SKIN

Skin is a hormone-sensitive organ. 

Men's skin is constantly affected by testosterone

The androgens in particular, testosterone, attaches to the receptors in the epidermis and dermis.

In the epidermis, (the upper layer of the skin) testosterone increases the number of granular cells.

In the dermis (the lowest layer of the skin) testosterone increases the amount of collgen produced and stimulates blood flow.

With oil glands, testosterone stimulates the production of sebum. In the hair folicle, testosterone toughens the hair becoming more prone to acne and blemishes.

No longer are men wanting to look "DISTINGUISHED" They are taking more and more care of their appearance.

WARNING SIGNS OF AGING: 

The early signs are thinner skin and loss of  moisture.    

Wrinkles and fine lines become more apparent, and loss of elasticity to the skin. Skin looses its    radiance and the skin's capacity to absorbe deminishes.

Visible aging signs for men are more sudden and more pronouced hence the "distiguished" look.

The specific areas of aging are deep -set wrinkles on the forehead, pronounced lines on the sides of the  nose, slackened cheeks, a double chin and thickening of the neck.

IMPROTANT:  Lifestyle also influences the quality of their skin. 

As more and more male clients come to our Lounge for skin help, we have developed more intense treatments to treat deeper skin problems such as ingrown hair, scaring from acne and ingrown hair, uneven skin tone, and many others. See some before and after results.

Serious Skin Care for the Active Man

You may have noticed the explosion in the male personal care market lately (the Old Spice commercials took the Internet by storm). Beyond comedic commercials, male grooming is outpacing most beauty categories.This new demographic desires a more clean-cut appearance, but still wants simplicity.  

Keep it simple, but effective

Studies have shown that men equate good grooming with success and confidence. Being men, however, they want products that demonstrate utility, multiple uses and effectiveness without compromising simplicity.  

The RAW line and RAW Method  were developed on the simple premise of the five critical Skin Laws: cleanse, exfoliate, tone, restore and build, protect. The formulations are complex and sophisticated, but when it comes to use, most serve a dual purpose. 

• Abyssine Shaving Gel – the shave gel refreshes skin, softens hair and doubles as a rejuvenating mask.
• Stone Power – the skin strengthening toner, hydrates and conditions while also firming and strengthening skin. It also calms redness and irritations.
• Complex VI – the hydrating serum pulls double duty as a super antioxidant serum, fighting free radical damage while hydrating the skin.
• EnviroProtect – this daytime cream protects skin from environmental elements while it fortifies and moisturizes.

.Men are getting facials and treatments at our Treatment Room.   Grooms who are being persuaded by their fiances to get what I call a   "quick fixer uppper facial" right before the wedding.  Results are so good that they come back for additional and more intense treatments.   

The term “metrosexual” no longer resonates with the male consumer. Today it’s the “everyday guy” who values a groomed appearance without taking it to extremes.

The RAW MAN facial and products are geared specifically for the active man’s skin – from the ingredients, to the ease of use, to the serious results and even the alluring scent.  It's serious skin care fo rthe active and confidant man who desires results with ease.
