Men, let's be honest, what comes to mind when we say "self-care"?
Let's guess; you probably imagined a woman enjoying a spa day wrapped in a fluffy robe or even getting a mani/Pedi with matching nail polish colors. Am I correct? Unfortunately, for men, especially men of color, "self-care" has somehow become associated with femininity.
As a result of gender-based stigmas, you might be hesitant to engage in self-care. You may even be concerned that engaging in self-care will not be perceived as masculine. But, men, please note that taking care of yourself is not feminine! It is necessary. Especially during these trying times, you should be encouraged to take care of yourself and indulge in self-care.
Here are two ways for you to start practicing self-care today:
Facials/Skincare
This is the first item on the list for a reason. Black men must take care of your skin as well. It's one of the first things people notice when they meet you. And we can tell when you're not taking care of it, guys. For example, for black men, if you have a beard, it's one of the first things people notice about you. So taking care of your beard is a big priority. At King Klare, we have a beard essentials line made with all-natural ingredients, suited for all beard care needs.
Many men might think of getting a facial as a luxury, but now it's about skin maintenance. Develop your skincare routine, and you'll instantly feel the difference, mentally and physically.
Haircare
Your hair is just as important as your skin, brothas. The possible products you can use to maintain healthy-looking curls are endless. At Kings Klare, we provide a brand of luxury hair products designed specifically for men of color.
Our King Pomade is perfect for Black Kings who want to thicken their hair while creating defined wave patterns and stimulating their hair growth. Even our Krown Fix Shampoo and Krown Conditioner are formulated with colored hair in mind, perfect for cleansing and moisturizing your hair without stripping it of its natural oils.
