The Ultimate Guide to an At-Home Spa Day for Men
By Alayah Brantley and M.Mason
1. Get Clean: Shower, Bath, or Both
These days, having a self-care routine is more universal than ever. But skincare, wellness, and even beauty products are not just reserved for women. More and more men lately are developing an at-home wellness routine. Taking care of your hair, skin, and nails is a universal part of everyone's hygiene. However, every now and then, we need a little more pampering to make us feel better and relax. Spa days are not only reserved for the girls! An at-home spa day is achievable for men, as we will discover in the following steps for the ultimate guide to an at-home spa day for men. Keep reading to learn more.
The first step is to get clean! A bath is the most luxurious way to start your spa day, but if that is not your thing, a hot shower is perfectly fine. While in the bath or shower, you can use an exfoliating scrub to get rid of dead skin and moisturize. Bath bombs or shower gels are a great way to incorporate aromatherapy into your spa day. To feel extra clean, take a hot bath first, exfoliate, and then hop into the shower and use a shower gel with your favorite scent.
2. Using Face Masks
Face masks are the epitome of spa day iconography. However, these aren’t just a symbol of relaxation; face masks can also help target specific skin concerns. Men have thicker skin than women, so the skincare used needs to be formulated for male skin types. For oilier skin, it is best to use some type of purifying clay mask. For drier skin, use a hydrating sheet mask. Either way, using a face mask will set your spa routine apart from your everyday routine.

3. Hair care
Hair care is just as important as everything else in your routine. To show your locksa little extra love, use a nourishing hair mask or leave-in conditioner. If your hair is graying, you can use a purple shampoo and leave-in conditioner to brighten any brassiness. Moisturizing your hair will make it shinier and maintain its health. And depending on the type of hair mask, it could also lead to more hair growth.
4. Men's Grooming
Manscaping is a must, so it’s important to keep your beard trimmed, soft, and moisturized for any potential suitors (or just for yourself!)It’s easy for gray hairs to pop up and crumbsto get caught in facial hair, so be sure to take care of not only the hair on your head, but the strands on your face, too. After giving your beard a thorough scrub, you can turn back the clock with the Barber’s Choice Beard & Mustache Dye. A refreshing wash and redye will leave you feeling revitalized, while also giving your beard a little TLC.
After you’re all clean, going over your skin with a good moisturizer can easily help you unwind after a long day or start a new one on the right foot. Studies show that moisturizing your beard and the skin underneath it can promote softness and hair growth, depending on the ingredients. Dry skin can make both you and your partner itchy and uncomfortable, so be sure to bring moisture to every part of the skin, including the skin underneath your beard. Try out the THICK BEARD & MUSTACHE GROWTH SERUM to encourage soft skin and an even softer beard.
5. Pedicure Time!
A little TLC to the hands and feet never hurt anybody. Visit the nail salon every two weeks to give your hands and feet some much-needed reviving after workinghard all week. If you’re ticklish and know you can’t sit still for a nail appointment, you can try the Opi ProSpa Nail and Cuticle Oil combined with your daily moisturizer to stay polished from head to toe.
