Three Ways to Reduce Aging in Men

No one wants to look older than they are. And because most men don’t have a set “beauty routine,” they sometimes begin to show their age a little faster than they might otherwise like. But have no fear! There are several ways to slow down the process. We’ve gathered three easy to do action items for yourself, husband, brother or any other gentleman in your life looking to look a little younger.

Skin Care

Good skin starts with a good skin care routine. At DayDreams Day & Med Spa, we use Pevonia in all of our nonmedical facials and peels. This company was one of the first to develop professional-level skin care products for specific use in the spa setting. Pevonia is a worldwide leader in the skincare industry, and third party studies have shown that use of its products produces real, scientifically verifiable results. It’s no wonder that they continue to win awards for the effectiveness of their products on a yearly basis!

So, if there is a guy in your life that is seeking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, his must-have products are Pevonia’s Aqua Gel Foaming Cleanser and Collagen Boost Face Balm. These products are not only refreshing in both texture and smell, but more importantly, are designed for the specific needs of male skin. Their unique age-defying system includes collagen and elastin, which will act to rejuvenate, firm and plump the face and neck.

Pevonia also carries Shaving Emulsion that hydrate and soothes. Believe us when we say that this shaving gel is life changing. This. Stuff. Hydrates. Gone are the days of razor burn, irritation and dryness, all of which can lead to dull and damaged skin.

So, guys! Start or maintain your skincare routine. Stay out of the sun (and use SPF if you are going to be in direct sunlight). And, keep your face hydrated with lotion. You and your wrinkles (or lack thereof) will thank us later.

Botox

While taking care of your health and maintaining a routine are great long-term ways to reduce aging, Botox is an immediate fix. And if you are like most people, instant gratification might not be a bad option.

Crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead wrinkles and under eye lines are a part of getting older. But, Botox can put off the inevitable by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause these dynamic wrinkles to form. Best of all; the more that you do it the less that you’ll need. Muscle memory will eventually begin to occur. So even if you don’t maintain a Botox routine, you can see long term results.

Botox is non-invasive and requires no recovery time, which makes it one of the most popular medical spa procedures. The best part? Results within days. With a consistent skincare routine and Botox injections every three to six months, you may find yourself starting to “Benjamin Button.”

Massages

The third (and most relaxing) of our three tips is to schedule yourself for regular massages.

Skincare and Botox are beneficial for the neck and face, but massage keeps the rest of us feeling young. As we age, our bodies go through changes. Our muscles can tighten and cramp. Blood circulation can go down. Additionally, as daily stress adds up, so does its affects to the body. From additional free radicals to tighter joints to higher cortisol levels, stress can age us outwardly from within.

Fortunately, regular massage sessions can assist with a lot of these issues. Through numerous studies, Massage has been shown to decrease muscle tension, increase circulation, and decrease cortisol levels. All of this can ultimately improve cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and decreasing anxiety and depression. So, the more relaxed you are, the more likely you are to live a healthy and happy life.

At our Brandon and Lakeland locations, we offer a variety of massages including Swedish, Deep Therapy, and Bamboo. Popular add-ons for men include our copper-based treatment and CBD.
