How do you treat your skin? Do you wash it with whatever old soap is lying around? Or do you treat it like the largest organ in your body? You should fall into the bucket of the latter. So whether you take care of your skin for looks or for its overall health, you need to be using the right products on it. I take pretty good care of my skin—my medicine cabinet is overflowing with all sorts of grooming products intended to cleanse, treat or moisturize skin. But every so often I like to give it a little extra TLC. That’s why I’m super excited about Skin Forum’s new Facial in a Box for men. It includes everything you need to get an at-home spa facial experience. And guys, you need to take care of your skin! Nobody wants to look old and tired when they’re, well, older. So start taking care of your skin now. Plus, use my code (BRICKANDVINE15) to get 15% off your order!
Now let me first say that you need to have a little time to devote to this facial kit. So plan on sitting down and watching an episode of something on Netflix and enjoying the experience. Your skin will thank you!
Facial In A Box Key Ingredients: Activated charcoal, Eucalyptus, Green Tea, Citrus and a variety of herbal extracts.
Step 1: Deep Cleanser
This preps your skin so it’s a blank slate and ready to experience all of the other steps. It features green tea and activated charcoal to wake you up and pull impurities out of your skin.
Step 2: Peel Off Mask
This charcoal powder mask is awesome! You apply with the silicone brush (which is the only way to apply any mask like this—no mess!) and let sit for 10 or so minutes. Once it dries it peels off, stripping your skin of impurities and tightening your pores in the process. Tighter, less visible pores are always welcome!
Step 3: Clarifying Toner
This eucalyptus-based toner leaves your skin feeling refreshed and preps it for the next few steps.
Step 4: Sheet Mask
I’d never tried a sheet mask so it was quite the experience. My skin felt great afterwards. One note, guys with facial hair… You may have difficult getting the mask to stay put but just use this time to lay back and relax while the mask does its job.
Step 5: Eye Cream
Eye cream is something every guy needs to be using. Puffy, tired eyes will make you look ten years older than you are. Step 5 of the Skin Forum Facial in a Box features this eucalyptus based eye cream to help soothe your tired skin and remove dark eye circles.
Step 6: All-in-1 Cream with SPF 50+
The facial experience ends with the most important step. Adding moisture back into your skin and protecting it from the environment.
My Thoughts
This had my skin feeling great! I really do feel like it did a deep clean and left my skin smooth and glowing. Something to note… Just like any facial, a few days later my skin broke out a bit. This happens as the products bring everything to the surface. I can definitely see using this kit every few weeks to refresh my skin and give it a hard reset. Check out the process in my first-ever YouTube video below and let me know if you have any questions!
