The AcquaEssentials approach to Men’s Skin Care

Depending on the skin condition or need a man wants to take care of, sometimes he has no other alternative than to use a specific men’s skin care product, like a day cream. These are creams that must be applied in the morning, immediately after shaving and need to be extremely soothing to not irritate micro-cuts produced by razor blades. In this regard thermal spa products have a lot to offer.

Formulated with the purest thermal waters, these creams guarantee intense hydration and are very soothing, making them ideal for men’s day use. Thermal water always has a physical structure that makes it a better moisturizer and healing agent. At the same time, thermal water based day creams expand and unclog pores on men’s skin more effectively. This is how anti wrinkle and anti-aging active ingredients along with vital moisture reach the targeted layers in a more thorough and longer lasting manner. The result is younger, softer and soother skin, even when daily shaving is a must.

At AcquaEssentials.com you can find a wide variety of both “unisex” and specific men’s thermal spa products under the Men category. These skin care solutions range from anti wrinkle and anti-aging creams to thermal mud masks, anti wrinkle eye cream and silk cocoon based spa nourishing creams. And of course, the star of AcquaEssentials specific men’s products: Mondariz Hydro Man Cream formulated with thermal water from the Tea Valley, Galicia, Spain.

It is time for men to combat aging signs just like women have been doing for centuries. And all that men need for their skin care regimen is at AcquaEssentials.com Men Category.

 

 

Finding the Right Skin Care Product for Men can be Difficult, but Not Impossible

Though similar in structure, men’s skin has two main differences from women’s: the thickness of the skin’s outer layer and the need to frequently shave. Absorption of nutrients and moisturizing active ingredients is therefore a specific issue that creates a true challenge for skin care company’s R&D departments. This is why, for instance, a cleansing cream that works perfectly on most women’s faces shows poor results in men’s.

Wiping out dead cells from a woman’s thinner facial skin is not exactly the same as cleaning out and exfoliating a man’s face. In the same way, getting active ingredients like ceramides or AHAs straight to the targeted inner layers of the skin does not demand the same kind of “effort” as women’s skin care products.

This does not mean “unisex” skin care products can’t be formulated. They do exist. There is a wide range of high end cosmetic formulations that are able to react differently depending on skin’s thickness and texture. These are known as “intelligent” formulations. A few skin care lines in the world offer thermal spa products and biocosmetics, such as AcquaEssentials.com’s Exel line. The products in the Exel Biocosmetics line are manufactured in Exel Biocosmetica Argentina’s state-of-the-art laboratory, located in the heart of pristine Pampa Humeda, by experts in developing intelligent skin care products.

It could be said that not all women’s nourishing, anti wrinkle and cleansing creams are good for men, but some certainly work wonderfully for both. How do you identify these skin care products? By using price as an indicator is one method.  A formulation holding this kind of technology is necessarily worth over $30. Another sign is professional use. Most cleansing creams and nourishing formulations used in beauty salons and spas are effective on female and male skin.

So what do you use if you are a guy over 30 who wants to look young and attractive? Generally using a specific moisturizer with pre - and after - shave properties, like AcquaEssentials.com’s Mondariz Hydro-Man Cream, plus an “intelligent” exfoliate, like Mondariz Gentle Facial Peeling along with a good “unisex” skin revitalizer, like Exel Revitilizing Cream, is a very good start.

Times Have Changed: Men Care About Their Skin and Want to Look Their Very Best

In past decades skin care companies of all sizes developed thousands of new creams, lotions and scrubs specifically formulated for men’s skin.  Fifty years ago there was simply not such a thing as men’s skin care. So why are companies dedicating efforts to this new target and incorporate another core of experts to their already large and intricate R&D departments? Why they invested fortunes in creating new specific brands? Why are more men caring about how they look?

Women will always take care of their appearance and seek new beauty solutions. Skin care laboratories will keep developing new and more effective anti-aging, anti wrinkle, anticellulite and exfoliating products. Women will of course use them because they naturally tend to take care of their skin. This permanent demand mobilized permanent research which made possible today’s reality: most women look fabulous at practically any age, and turning 50 or even 60 does not mean leaving the young you behind. Now at some point in this process men started asking “why not us?”

Today’s men are different from 50 years ago. They are more conscious about who they are and how they want to be perceived by others. They care more about their faces and skin for health, personal and professional reasons. The contemporary man understands that looking good is feeling good. Gone is the age of “all I need is just a good aftershave lotion” and considering skin care only a woman’s issue.  

This change in attitude by men has a lot to do with aesthetics but it is not just that. The average man is aware of practical benefits from men’s skin care. If you keep your facial skin moisturized then it will remain with its natural look and elasticity intact. And it also makes daily shaving a lot easier. Whatever shaving device you adopted, electric shaver or razor, it will run smoother on an ever-moisturized face.

Under-eye bags and puffiness are another problem men’s skin care products help diminish and reverse. Men’s facial skin tends to show under-eye aging signs at an average earlier age than women’s. This meant a big concern for most young men who although having an even and unwrinkled facial skin looked aged just because they had premature bags. Nowadays there are men’s creams available that noticeably delay eye contour aging making young men look even younger.

Aftershave is another aspect on which laboratories and spas keep working hard. A few years ago there were just a few alcohol based lotions that made men’s skin itchy immediately after application. Some went a little further and turned aftershave into absolute pain. But those days are over. If your facial skin is sensitive, as it happens to more than half of all men, you can choose a creamy lotion or a hydro-man cream containing no alcohol and a blend of soothing actives that turn aftershave into pleasure.

Under Acquaessentials.com Men’s category you will find a complete catalogue of Spa Men’s Skin Care products that will make you look younger and more attractive to the opposite sex. Look for our next article in this series that will discuss the proper way to care for a man’s skin.

Anti Wrinkle Cream and Thermal Mud Mask: A perfect match for your face

The definition of the word “system” is: a group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole. Sometimes those items have no functionality by themselves. When combined however, some elements can provide a more satisfying solution to beauty and skin care problems. Some products that fulfill their promises when used on their own provide a new level of enhanced benefits when combined with the right match. This is the case of Acquaessentials.com Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream and Caviahue Thermal Mud.

Women know the importance of avoiding the premature signs of aging skin. This is why it is key to cleanse and exfoliate the face at home at least once a week. This is important not only to allow the skin to oxygenate through unclogged pores, but also for the elimination of dead cells and detritus that affect the incidence of light on the skin surface. How luminous your facial epidermis is to the eyes depends on how even and free your skin is of micro-shadows. If you want porcelain skin you need to treat your skin like the finest porcelain – with care and lots of attention. Keeping your facial skin free of pollutants, overuse of makeup, waste, etc. has another advantage: the nourishing, moisturizing and anti aging actives present in a night time skin care formula, like Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream, penetrate more easily through clean and exfoliated skin.

Vitamins and Antioxidants for Your Face

Vital thermal water can better fulfill its deep moisturizing mission if the epidermis is free of substances that block the skin and clog your pores. Powerful ingredients like Vitamin E, Squalane and Aminoacids reach their targeted skin layers faster and with practically no evaporation. Your facial skin will benefit most if you apply Caviahue Thermal Mud once a week along with Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream every night. This is a powerful skin care and beauty combination that brings you the ultimate anti aging effect.

That’s why the Acquaessentials.com team created an Advantage Pack called Deep Clean & Smooth Package which combines these two premium thermal water based products. Caviahue Thermal Mud and Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream is a perfect match and a true skin care system for your face.

Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream: The Thermal Water Anti Wrinkle Cream That Brings Out the Real You

There are  literally thousands of Anti Wrinkle products that you can buy. There are, however, very few anti wrinkle creams, or beauty and skin care products for that matter, made with and containing real thermal water. Our of all those beauty and anti wrinkle products on the market, only Acquaessentials.com Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream sets itself apart by combining thermal spring water and the following wrinkle fighting ingredients:

Hexapeptide-9, a Collagen peptide, helps strenghtening structural tissues by  naturally interacting with skin cells thereby promoting the rejuvenation process. This peptide gives the skin extra support by stimulating the growth of specific supportive substances that help diminish wrinkles over time.

Vitamin E, perhaps the most highly used ingredient in skin care products, is a powerful antioxidant. This vitamin helps to restrain the oxidation of lipids within the skin cells allowing the skin to repair itself more effectively.

Squalane, a natural oil that has a high affinity with skin tissues, prevents the evaporation of vital moisture. This allows Acquaessentials.com Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream to restore natural flexibility to skin tissues. The thermal water found in Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream helps transport  these active wrinkle fighting ingredients deeper into the skin.

The results will speak for themselves. Your skin will be exquisitely moisturized and naturally fortified to fight the signs of aging. Even after a few nights of applying Caviahue Anti Wrinkle Cream you will begin to see smoother, younger looking, and absolutely radiant skin. You will notice a dramatic reduction in the wrinkles and lines around your face allowing you to reveal a beautiful you. But don't take our word for it, people that you know wil ask you, "How do you look so young?".

Over the last decade, a growing amount of women have tried different cosmetic products for their stubborn dry skin conditions with little or no results. After visiting their dermatologists, they all received the recommendation of incorporating thermal water based creams and sprays to their daily skin care regimen.

Thermal water based skin care products have become one of the latest trends in skin care due to their nutrient-enriched composition. This unique composition is created when rainwater is absorbed through permeable soil and begins a 30-50 year (sometimes even longer) underground run off. As the water flows, it picks up trace minerals and elements. The high natural temperatures found underground help blend the minerals and elements for a final mix that is unique to that particular hot spring. Once the water reemerges, it is charged with beneficial minerals like magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc. Clinical studies show that this mineral-rich water: 

• Fortifies skin
• Restores pH balance
• Protects against external aggressors, like pollution

Studies have also shown that thermal water helps treat a wide range of skin problems from sunburns to more serious conditions.

Europeans have been aware of the benefits of thermal water since pre-Roman times and now you can experience them with our two lines of thermal water based products.

The Caviahue line is rich in selenium, which acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. Caviahue Thermal Water is also high in zinc, which works as an effective antioxidant and stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

The Mondariz line is very rich in sodium and bicarbonates that increase the skin’s soothing capacity. Mondariz Thermal Water also contains zinc, copper and magnesium to help improve the skin’s restoring capacity and minimize premature signs of aging.

Thermal water based skin care products are like isotonic beverages for your skin. The more you use them, the better your skin will look and feel.

All skin care products share one basic ingredient: water. No matter if it is a cream, gel, mask, lotion, milk or serum, they each contain water. Water is an active ingredient that allows for a stable and uniform mix. In fact most of the volume of a skin care formula is water. However, not all waters are created equally.

The evolution of skin care products

Every skin care product has a specific use. For example a hundred years ago there were two basic needs skin care products needed to satisfy: moisturizing and wrinkle prevention. During the twentieth century a technological and scientific revolution took place within the beauty industry. As researchers got to know more about the skin’s aging process, newer formulas were developed. Yet water was one ingredient that remained constant in the production of all these skin care products. There are many theories about how skin tissues decay, yet most theories agree that as time goes by cells crave more moisture. And thermal water is the most excellent hydrating agent.

 The difference is thermal water

Thermal water is naturally pure and rich in minerals and other elements. As thermal water travels in natural underground filtering it gets charged with nutrients, minerals, vitamins and other properties. Its high temperature, constant flow through natural caverns and contact with volcanic rocks make thermal water a maximum hydrating agent. Each thermal site works as a natural laboratory working at a continuous pace. The characteristics of each site are key to the composition and precise position of atoms in thermal water as it emerges from underground. Thermal water is unique both physically and for the particles such as minerals and nutrients found within it. There is no human equipment or technique capable of replicating natural thermal water.

Any good quality thermal water based skin care formula is of the highest efficiency. The reason why thermal water is better than ordinary water is it can better drive active ingredients into the skin’s layers and pores. It is a better vehicle in the delivery of these ingredients. It is also better at cleansing because it acts as a superior dissolvent. Its moisturizing action is longer lasting. Thermal water as a hydrating agent, it “wets” more and evaporates less.

Acquaessentials.com offers these exclusive thermal water based skin care products from the most prestigious thermal spas around the world. In just one application, your senses will tell you why these incredible thermal beauty and skin care products are different.
