We all know that our diet is an important factor when it comes to our health. We need to ensure that what we're putting into our bodies is providing us with nutritional benefits in order for us to be able to function properly. 

The skin is no different. In order for your skin to be clear, bright and supple, we need to make sure that we're eating the right things.

Growing a good beard isn't always as simple as it seems. This is why we need to understand how best to grow, tame and care for the beard to keep it looking neat and shapely. We've compiled a beginner's guide including everything you need to know to get started!

Returning for its second year, the BARBER PRO 12 Days of Grooming Advent Calendar is back! Packed full of full size BARBER PRO products for the face and eyes, this is the must have grooming gift this December.

It can be easy to run out of the house without a care in the world and then get home late and fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. But it’s vital you include a skincare routine into your summer plans to keep you looking fresh, energised and healthy.

In this blog, we’ll take you through each of the steps to ensure your skin is protected this summer.

With summer now in full swing and the sliders/sandals/flipflops well and truly out, it’s time to think about foot care.

It’s time to give them an MOT and prepare them for the season ahead. If they’re already showing signs of dry skin, calluses and cracked heels, it’s better to address those issues now than further down the line.

Acne is a common skin condition, where spots and oily skin develop on the face, back or chest. While it’s most common on the face, over half of the people with acne will experience it on the back, and a further 15% will be affected in the chest area.

We’re here to discuss facial acne - exploring what it is, why it forms and remedies you can use to soothe the skin and minimize the symptoms.

Since 2015, we’ve been bringing you the very best in men’s skincare innovation and we’re showing no signs of slowing. BARBER PRO will continue to lead the way, developing new and exciting products with YOU at the forefront.

As of this month, you’ll be able to buy a selection of our best selling treatments and sets on the Lloyds Pharmacy website. We’re so pleased to partner with Lloyds, one of the UK’s largest community pharmacy chains, to give you even more options for where to buy your favourite masks.

Knowing your skin type is an important factor when choosing a skincare product. You don’t want to purchase a product or treatment that’s going to unbalance or irritate your skin, therefore it’s good to have a basic understanding of which skin type you are and what that means.

Choosing the right skincare product can be a daunting task. With so many variations on the market it can be difficult to know which products to go for.

Keep reading this blog post for a summary breakdown of each of our masks, outlining when and how to use them.

POST SHAVE COOLING Mask
If your skin is prone to shaving rash or irritation after shaving our POST SHAVE COOLING Mask is ideal for you. The mask itself is packed with collagen which helps to hydrate the face and calm the effects of shaving. The mask has an extension which continues onto the neck. This provides total coverage of the shave area ensuring all areas are treated.

FOAMING CLEANSING Mask
Want to help banish acne and dirt build up? Our FOAMING CLEANSING Mask will allow you to achieve just that. The sheet mask goes onto the skin, and the activated ingredients react with the air which creates hundreds of bubbles on the mask. These bubbles also form under the mask which penetrate deep into the skin to clear and cleanse any impurities.

UNDER EYE Mask
Want to hide the fact you only got a few hours sleep? No problem. Our Collagen infused UNDER EYE Masks are perfect for treating dark circles which appear under the eyes. The masks simply sit under the eyes for 20 minutes and the hydrogel formulation will help treat and calm tired, puffy eyes.

FACE PUTTY Peel-Off Mask
Looking for a deep cleanse or to reduce oily skin? Look no further than our FACE PUTTY Peel-Off Mask. The mask easily glides onto the face around the forehead and eyes, after 15-20 minutes the mask will set. Simply remove the mask by peeling in an upwards motion starting at the chin. The mask will loosen blackheads and remove the top layer of dead skin cells.

GENTLEMEN’S SHEET Mask
If your skin is feeling dry and dull, our GENTLEMEN’S SHEET Mask is just for you. The rejuvenating formula helps to hydrate skin and provide an instant boost to help you look on top form even if you may not be feeling 100%.

Provide your skin with the ultimate TLC and deep cleanse by using our BARBER PRO Under Eye Masks and Face Putty Peel-Off Mask.

Both masks can be used together to help clear dirt and impurities trapped within the skin.

Step 1

Under Eye Masks

1. Open the sachet of Under Eye Masks.
2. Peel the transparent film from the eye mask.
3. Place them onto the face ensuring the small part of the mask sits just under the tear duct.
4. Gently massage the mask to ensure it has full contact with the skin.

Step 2

Face Putty

1. Holding the pouch/tube upright, begin to pour the Face Putty onto the face, start at the forehead and work your way down the T-zone section avoiding the eyes and hairline. Only a thin layer is required so less is more.
2. Massage the Face Putty into the skin with either fingers or a brush. Leave for 15-20 minutes.
3. When completely dry, gently peel the mask in an upwards motion starting from the chin. Peel closely to the skin to avoid pulling. Any stray pieces of mask can be washed away with water and a towel.
4. Finally, remove the eye masks

Over the past year Activated Charcoal has been such a buzz word. But what is it? And why is it in so many grooming products?

Activated Charcoal is a natural remedy which is used to clear chemicals and toxins from the body. In some cases, Activated Charcoal can be used to help treat mild cases of poisoning.

Within grooming, Activated Charcoal is used in the same way. The ingredient is used to help withdraw and remove impurities trapped deep within the skin. These impurities which harbour in pores can cause blackheads, uneven skin tone and poor complexion. Activated Charcoal helps to rid them from the skin leaving a clear fresh appearance.

All of the masks in the BARBER PRO range contain Activated Charcoal so you can be sure when using our products your skin is receiving a deep cleansing treatment.
