Let’s turn back the clock 20 years or so… Imagine a bunch of guys at the gym discussing the best place to get a facial or the latest treatment for back hair. Not in a million years! Fast forward to today and this is a pretty likely scenario.
Modern men know that paying attention to their looks and overall skin health has good long-term returns in the way their skin ages, and they are increasingly knowledgeable about the products and treatments out there.
Looking good
South African men love their “sun and sport” lifestyle. The problem with this is that all that sun exposure has a huge downside: it causes leathery, blotchy, wrinkled, sagging skin which makes you look much older, without even mentioning skin cancer – a real and serious concern for all South Africans. You need to protect yourself with the right clothing and a really good sunscreen, and by using medical skincare products packed with free-radical-fighting ingredients.
Staying competitive in a youth-focused job market means men are also looking to look youthful for as long as possible, which means that many men are seeking out advanced ageing-prevention treatments.
Prevention is always the first choice, so it’s best to start looking after your skin while you’re still in your teens. But if the damage has already been done, don’t be too concerned. There is plenty you can do to reverse some of the signs of premature ageing, as well as other things that bug you about your appearance.
The regular show
With a choice of products and aesthetic treatments custom-made for males, it’s no surprise that there are many more men making regular visits to medical spas, salons and aesthetic centres for facials, peels, laser therapy, fillers and hair removal. This is besides the standard manicure and pedicure. Why put up with annoying body or facial hair, acne or unsightly looking fingernails if a quick, discreet visit to your grooming specialist can sort this out for you? And let’s not forget the benefit of a good sports massage after a gruelling downhill cycle!
Save your skin
One of the most common skin problems men face is acne. While raging hormones might be responsible for your teen acne, it can linger into adulthood because things like excessive sweating, stress and even washing your face too often with harsh products can cause flare-ups. Eczema is also a common result of a stressed lifestyle, or you could permanently look like you’ve had one too many, when in fact you’re suffering from rosacea (a condition where facial blood vessels become enlarged, giving cheeks and nose a permanently flushed and even knobbly appearance).
Shaving problems are of course very common. The beard and neck area can experience itchy, ingrown hairs; a pimply rash called beard folliculitis; and razor burn, a stinging red face caused by using a blunt razor or poor face technique after shaving – especially if you splash on alcohol-laced aftershave (ouch!). Correct shaving technique, prepping your face properly before shaving, and soothing post-shaving products can all remedy these problems.
Your qualified medical skin care therapist can assess your concerns and recommend the right course of treatment ? from topical skin care for home-use, to treatments that are discreetly performed at an aesthetic clinic.
Check out the ‘manscape’
We’re talking way beyond trimming your nose, ear and brow hairs, although those do need to be tamed. While some guys seem comfortable with back, chest and buttock hair, others are keen to see the, “back” of it. There are various DIY options available, but they can be complicated (it’s hard to shave your own back!), so many guys are opting for professional waxing or a more permanent option through laser hair removal.
The big guns
When it comes to dealing with more serious skin concerns such as acne scarring; wrinkles and ageing; and sun damage and pigmentation, more intensive treatments are usually called for. Speak to a medical skin care therapist about the best options, including injectables to tighten your skin or minimise your frown; chemical peels; fractional laser (Fraxel); micro needling; or filling in corrugated holes after acne injectables.

As a nation, we’re not at all well. First we were outraged by President Jacob Zuma’s cabinet reshuffle, and then came the shock of two financial ratings downgrades.
It seems Zuma does whatever he wishes, and neither Parliament nor his party will control him. Feeling out of control is profoundly stressful, and when combined with a sense of hopelessness and senselessness it can be deeply damaging to individuals and to society.
Painful and stressful
If you don’t think there’s something rather profoundly wrong with our country, you can’t have been paying much attention. Or perhaps you find these things just too painful and stressful to “attend” to, so you just stick your head in the sand. But not reacting at all is like ignoring a fire alarm − you may feel better pretending it’s not ringing, but you’re getting hotter and more uncomfortable as the smoke and flames come closer and closer.
Facing the facts is uncomfortable, but discomfort is sometimes necessary and productive, as long as we make sure it leads to productive action. In the same way, a fever or pain indicates that there is a problem we should not ignore.
Some people ask me how long it will take before people “snap out of it”, and start feeling better about the situation in our country. But maybe we shouldn’t try to feel better before we have made sure things are in fact genuinely better on the ground.
What worries me is that as a society we are too often reacting like abuse victims who become used to the status quo and end up accepting mistreatment as inevitable. But chaotic, selfish, predatory government is not inevitable and should never be accepted without vigorous and ongoing protest. Nobody deserves to be abused.
Textbook definition of sociopathy
Our real psychological need is to stop feeling powerless and take back our power, insisting that the “nonsense” must stop. We need to refuse to accept politicians who work only for their own benefit, who know all about taking, but nothing about giving. We need to stop listening to what they say and instead start observing what they do.
There are senior politicians who sneer at the idea that MPs should vote according to conscience, insisting that they should have no conscience, no inherent sense of right and wrong, and should vote as they’re told to. That’s almost a textbook definition of sociopathy. If MPs don’t have the interests of the country at heart, what are we paying them for?
The prescription for regaining our national health is clear. We need to seize back the power that has been taken from us. Is this a psychiatrist talking politics? Should I rather stick to what I know? No, not at all! When the people in government have become a source of chronic and continuing damage, like an auto-immune disease, we need to understand the pathology and find ways to change it. We’re talking about a modification of psychological and physical health that will relieve our anxiety, a removal of an illness, not becoming numb and enduring the situation.
Like others who have successfully overcome chronic abuse, we need to access the power within us and refuse to give permission for continuing abuse, allowing ourselves to heal, collectively and individually.
