Mario Badescu: Out with the Old

Sure, we all get better with age, but there’s nothing wrong with delaying the process a little, right? And one guy who began helping us many years ago is Mario Badescu. We chatted with Badescu’s lead aesthetician, Elena Arboleda, about how guys can improve their daily skin routine.

• What’s one thing you see men not doing that they really should?
• Masks are probably the most overlooked skincare products for guys. The benefits of using facial masks at home generally go unnoticed – particularly by men. Masks really add another element to your routine, whether it’s to cleanse, brighten or hydrate the skin. They’re also key in removing dead and damaged skin – letting the new and improved show through.

• Why should the gents get into a daily skincare routine?
• It’s so important to take care of the skin. The face is constantly exposed to the elements: sun, wind, cold weather, dry climates and humidity. Protecting your skin is essential – you just need products that are right for you.  
•  
• What sets Mario Badescu products apart from other brands?
• Mario Badescu has been developing botanically based skincare products that are simple, gentle and effective for over 40 years. The wide selection of products makes it possible to have a skincare regimen customized specifically for your skin. We have always taken a special interest in men’s skincare needs, which is probably why the Mario Badescu Skin Care Salon in New York City has such a large male clientele.
