Men doing facials: What's your comment?

We have seen how fashion changes; what women used to wear, men wear them now - for instance, earrings and bangles. Men also want to possess good skin textures like some women have. As such, they've now resorted to doing facials - something which no men dared to explore just about a decade ago. To me, it's just a matter of preference as doing facials wouldn't make men less masculine. What causes this change, and do you do facials? What's your comment on this?

Ok, i wanna comment on this.. my own personal view. I might be "thrashed" for saying this...lol.. but i believe that man who has no problem skin whatsoever, need not go for facial. Those who have problem skin and need treatment, then that is a different case. Maybe i m old fashioned, for a man to go for facial, just for vanity, brings a negative response for me.. sorry guys! What my opinion is don't matter to u, ok?

Negative response accepted for that's what discussions are all about. If everything is positive, then it won't be much fun as there's nothing to discuss. Men who do facials to look clean and fresh are fine. I think they've the right to look good too but if they keep looking into the mirror to look for pimples, then, that's something else. Thanks for the response.

I certainly wouldn't mind. It's nice to feel good and to be pampered once in awhile. If women love it, men would love it too. As long as it'ss not too extravagant and too detailed should be fine.

it's actually nice when a man pays attention to his grooming.he wants to present himself well.I don't mind dating a guy who is vain.as long as he is fun to be around and can get dirty sometimes,that's ok with me.I don't like a vain guy who will cancel a date because he got a pimple.

I am a dude who does proactiv masks, are they similar to what you are talking about. I want clear, smooth skin, pimple free and proactiv seems to work. You put the mask on a wet face for 10-15 mins then you just wash it off.

men also want to look good and neat.facial helps to remove pimples and gives a glowing and smooth skin.facial helps the people to look beautiful.men also need to do facials atleast once in a month.

We are all the same with different personalities and things we like. I was a straight cosmeotoligist for awhile, And just fooled around with nailpolish and things. I also have another friend who was straight but sounded not like his voice and things, And people would pick on him but he was born that way and hes the straightest guy ive ever met, And a christian like me.

I think it is just normal for men to have facials. It is normal just like breathing. Men are vain as much as women. Sometimes they are more vain. It is good to look good and it involves hard work as well.

Yes, I think Facial for men is equally important. There is a tendency to think "Who cares, I'm a guy." Men sometimes feel a lack of motivation to bother to really take care of their faces. Sometimes a guy might think "Well, I lift weights. That's enough." or "Facial care is for girls." That could not be any more further from the truth. It is absolutely never a good thing for a guy's self confidence when I girl cringes when you go to kiss her. That is why it is totally necessary to incorporate some kind of male facial care routine to help keep your skin looking clear and healthy.

more and more men are becoming metrosexual, they also want to look good and be "in" with fashion.

i really don't see any problem with that. i would be happy to have him with me when i go for that purpose to the beauty parlor. it would be a very nice feeling to be walking alongside with someone who looks presentable, not only by the way he dresses but also of his nice skin and neat grooming. it would be an enjoyable occasion to be doing the thing that u both love, wouldn't it?

hi, i must say that i agree with your point. We want our partners to look nice too so that it makes us look good. We could judge a person's character by not only the way they dress, but also their general hygiene.

i think, there's nothing to be so shocked , men do facials and some men do facials more than a women. i have a friend of mine he takes so much care of his skin and all i mean i have girls as my friends as well but even they don't take care much of their skin as him.

Men do needs to look goods too, just like us woman and I believe that, making self looks good does make someone feels good too. Men in new decades should also need to know how to take care and maintain for top to toe. Going for facial getting professional service perhaps is very common now. My man at home does went for facial once a while and I can see his toiletries are getting more on men facial stuff there now.

yes i believe men nowadays they are very particular with their looks.being hygienic will makes them neat and clean.they also used face wash to clean up dirt other put some cream too and even powder.i think it is good for men to be hygienic in particular.but not putting make up it is different from hygiene.

I think its fine. As long as it doesnt get too crazy. Eyeliner is really pushing it. Men dont need to spend more time in the bathroom than their girlfriends
