Valentine’s Day, birthday party or any other holiday. There are plenty of reasons to treat yourself or someone else to a wonderful treatment for your hair, face or beard. We’ll walk you through how to do it.
Preparing for treatment
Every treatment we start with a lovely shower or a bath. An opportunity to feel thoroughly clean, at the same time be able to relax for a moment. Warm water helps to open up the pores in the skin, making it easier for them to be washed clean deeply.
Hair
Use a lovely shampoo first to wash your hair clean. It cleans away dirt, dust and other things that can easily get stuck in the hair and damage it if you are not careful. Feel free to also use a conditioner, a conditioner that moisturizes and protects the hair.
For that feeling of that little extra, especially on an occasion like this, a hair treatment is also suggested. Strengthens the skin in the scalp under the hair, protects the hair follicles and makes the hair even stronger. Use after showering and rinsing your hair. A hair treamtment should not be rinsed out.
How often you use these remedies is of course up to you. But on an extra special occasion, a holiday like Valentine’s Day, we think you should treat your hair to an extra nice treatment.
The beard
Just like with hair, your beard deserves a nice treatment, preferably often but not least on special occasions such as Valentine’s Day, birthdays or just because. It also gives the beard a little more luster, fullness and volume. As the skin becomes cleaner under the beard, it can also make it easier for the beard to grow. To do this, you need a special beard shampoo, designed to wash the beard deeply and the skin underneath.
A tip is also to always have some washing wipes for the beard with you, which makes it easy and convenient to remove food residues and dirt that can get stuck in the beard or mustache during dinner, for example. These do not need to be rinsed out afterwards and often also have a very pleasant scent.
Whether you’re going to do wet shaving or beard care, a proper beard wash is a good and wonderful first step.
The face
Even the face itself deserves a little extra treatment, especially in connection with a holiday. To make your face really clean and get a really nice treatment, two steps are recommended.
Start by thoroughly washing your face with the help of a cleanser or moisturiser that is intended for the face and not, for example, a regular body or hand soap. The latter products can dry out the skin on the face and expose it to unnecessary discomfort. A cleanser or moisturiser that is intended for the face has a significantly better moisturizing effect while rinsing away dirt, dust and other particles, for example. You can use such a product daily or as needed.
After that, you can use a face scrub that cleans the pores deeply and makes sure they are properly cleaned. A very good start for, for example, wet shaving, beard care or just some lovely facial care in connection with some special holiday such as Valentine’s Day or birthday. This step is enough if you do it once or maybe twice a week. That’s why it’s great to do it in connection with something special.
The treatment itself
Which treatment(s) you enjoy is of course entirely up to you. Maybe one, two or why not all three? You also decide the order yourself. If you are going to do all three, it may be appropriate to start with the wet shave, then the facial and finally the beard care.
Classic wet shaving
For a holiday like Valentine’s Day, a birthday or just because we think you should treat yourself to a really lovely wet shave like at a barber but at home. Does it sound difficult and complicated? Not then, all you need is a little peace and quiet, some time and a few things.
In our article on how to get a luxurious wet shave like at the barber at home, we go through everything you need.
An in-depth facial treatment
Taking care of your face a little more deeply and in detail to get a fresher and cleaner face before a special holiday is both nice and appreciated. Also, not very hard or time-consuming as you might think.
The skin and the area around and especially under your eyes is one such place that may require a little extra treatment and love. With a cream specially formulated for this area, your eyes can look a little brighter and clearer.
Sometimes the face can need a little extra help to look properly alert and fresh.
Doing this just takes a little longer. Can be done daily or as needed. Above all, as I said, at a special holiday, we think that this is really a treatment you should treat yourself.
A recommendation for an in-depth facial is to start already the night before and use a night cream that helps restore the skin during the night while you sleep. Something that is done automatically but with the help of a cream it can be improved and your skin will feel slightly better when you wake up in the morning.
Especially during the coldest and hottest months of the year, an in-depth facial treatment can be recommended if needed, regardless of whether it is a holiday or not. This is because hot air, the sun’s rays and precipitation can wear down the skin.
Comfortable beard care
To devote yourself in peace and quiet for a while to beard care, regardless of whether you have shaved or not, we think is a wonderful treatment you should treat yourself, not least at a holiday when it can be nice to have a nice well-groomed beard. If you have also started by washing your beard properly, you have a very good start to start from. With a basic facial care, it can’t get much better.
Whether you only have short stubble or a long thick beard, beard care is something you can and should dedicate yourself to. Although of course with a longer beard it may require a little more and take a little longer. Of course, this also applies if you have a moustache.
It’s good if your beard is only slightly damp or dry when you start. If the beard is wet, it can be difficult to apply the products in a good way.
Feel free to start with a beard brush to brush through the beard thoroughly. It helps to remove dirt and dust, for example, that may have gotten stuck. Straightens beard hairs and makes it easier to apply any products. Use the size of brush you think fits, either a smaller one or a larger one.
Also, feel free to use beard scissors to remove too long beard hairs or feathers that are in the way. It can also be a way to correct borders and other things to get a really nice beard.
When you feel satisfied, first use a beard oil that can be finely shredded into the beard with a brush.
Then preferably a beard balm to get a little extra luster and fullness to the beard. In addition, we think that a mustache wax for the mustache is a must, especially at a holiday to get a neat mustache to show off.
Finish with a pleasant scent
A pleasant scent such as an eau de cologne or eau de parfum is a perfect way to finish off a lovely treatment of the face.
