Let’s be real—skincare hasn’t always been marketed to men. But that’s changing, and fast. More men are now realizing that clear, balanced, healthy skin isn’t a luxury—it’s a game changer. At Lux Aesthetics, we’re proud to offer results-driven, no-fluff men’s facials customized for real life, real skin, and real results.
Whether you’re battling breakouts from shaving, dry patches from the cold, oily skin, or just want to take care of yourself (finally), a facial designed specifically for men is the ultimate power move.
In this guide, we’ll explore:
- What makes a men’s facial different
- Why men’s skin has unique needs
- What to expect during your appointment
- Why more Indianapolis-area men are booking skincare with Lux Aesthetics
- And how to finally feel confident in your skin—without guessing what works
First Things First: Yes, Men Need Facials Too
You shave, sweat, work, and are exposed to dirt, stress, and environmental buildup daily. That’s a lot to ask your skin to deal with alone.
A men’s facial isn’t about being “fancy.” It’s about:
✔️ Deeply cleansing congested skin
✔️ Preventing ingrown hairs and breakouts
✔️ Restoring hydration and balance
✔️ Keeping your face looking sharp, youthful, and clear
✔️ Supporting your beard or stubble with proper skincare
Still think facials are just for women? Think again. At Lux Aesthetics, we treat skin, not gender. And your skin deserves expert care.
How Is a Men’s Facial Different?
While the core steps are similar to any high-quality facial, our Men’s Facial at Lux Aesthetics is tailored to:
- Thicker skin with more active oil glands
- Beard growth and shaving habits
- Larger pores and higher collagen density
- Hormonal differences that affect acne and oil production
- Lifestyle and job factors (e.g., sweat, construction, office dryness, etc.)
We also keep your comfort top of mind—no overwhelming scents, no pink robes. Just results, education, and customized care.
What Happens During a Men’s Facial?
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect during your session at Lux Aesthetics:
1. Consultation + Skin Assessment
We’ll talk about your current routine (even if it’s just soap and water), any problem areas, shaving habits, and skin goals. Whether it’s acne, redness, sensitivity, or dullness—we build your treatment plan on the spot.
2. Deep Cleanse + Exfoliation
We start with a gentle but effective double cleanse to remove grime, oil, and impurities. Then, using customized exfoliants, we slough off dead skin cells—revealing fresher, clearer skin underneath.
This step alone can reduce blackheads and roughness.
3. Steam + Extractions (If Needed)
If your skin is congested (think clogged pores, blackheads, etc.), we’ll perform professional extractions to safely clear them out—without the damage or scarring caused by picking at home.
4. Beard + Shaving Zone Treatment
Whether you’re clean-shaven or full-bearded, we focus on the lower face with techniques that:
- Calm razor burn
- Prevent ingrown hairs
- Hydrate the skin under the beard
No beard? We still treat the jaw and chin zones for balance and tone.
5. Custom Masks + Serums
We select targeted ingredients based on your needs—hydrating, clarifying, soothing, or anti-aging. Ingredients may include:
- Charcoal for detox
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration
- Vitamin C for brightening
- Niacinamide for redness and oil control
6. Facial Massage + Muscle Tension Relief
We use facial massage techniques to relieve jaw tension, stimulate circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more relaxed.
7. Moisturizer + SPF
Even if your skin is oily, it needs moisture. We’ll choose a lightweight, non-greasy hydrator to protect your skin and lock in benefits—plus apply SPF if you’re heading out.

Common Skin Concerns We Treat in Men
At Lux Aesthetics, we regularly treat:
- Ingrown hairs

How Often Should Men Get Facials?
If you’re new to skincare or tackling specific issues, we recommend a facial every 4–6 weeks. This keeps your skin in top condition and supports natural cell turnover.
For maintenance? Even once every 6–8 weeks can keep your skin clear, balanced, and fresh.
