Yeah the boys

Men’s Skincare Playbook

Sweat’s back, sport’s back, breakouts are back — let’s sort your skin out.

Skincare is for everyone but March is for the boys. Because March is when routines flip. Footy’s back, gym’s back, long days outside, more sweat, more friction… and your skin suddenly starts acting up.

As specialists in male skincare and tailoring treatments specific to the boys, we understand what men really need when it comes to looking after their skin. Think of this as a playbook, a go-to guide to skin that performs at its peak through whatever you throw at it. Easy routines, expert advice and advanced treatments for clear, achievable results.

March Treatments to Fast Track your skin game

March special treatments designed specifically for the boys and delivered by FEALS founder and men’s skincare expert – Sieanna Pardi, to level up your skin game to function at its peak.

The Locker Room Reset

Extractions + Problem Skin Peel + Clay Mask + LED

1hr mins | $249

Built for the guys dealing with congestion, blackheads, beard breakouts, gym sweat and skin that just feels blocked up. This is your deep clean, decongest and calm treatment — simple, effective and results-driven.

We start with a proper skin cleanse and prep to soften oil, sweat build-up and dead skin sitting in the pores.

A problem skin peel is then applied using active exfoliating ingredients (like salicylic, mandelic or lactic acid blends) to:

  • loosen congestion
  • dissolve dead skin
  • reduce bacteria
  • soften blackheads and inflamed follicles

Next comes targeted extractions, clearing blocked pores, blackheads and trapped oil — especially around the nose, chin, jawline and beard where congestion builds fastest.

We then apply a purifying clay mask. This step pulls impurities from the skin, absorbs excess oil and tightens the appearance of pores while calming irritation from extractions.

The treatment finishes with LED light therapy, working in recovery mode to:

  • calm inflammation
  • reduce redness
  • kill acne bacteria
  • support healing so breakouts settle faster

This treatment is ideal if your skin feels rough, clogged or constantly on the verge of breaking out. It removes the build-up sitting in the pores, resets oil balance and prevents small congestion turning into full breakouts.

Perfect for:

  • gym and sweat breakouts
  • beard congestion
  • blackheads
  • oily skin
  • early acne

Think of it as routine maintenance for your skin — keeping things clear, fresh and under control before they escalate.

Gameday Skin Protocol

BBL Acne + Acne Peel + LED

1 hr 15 mins | $359

This is the next level. For stubborn acne, constant beard breakouts, oil imbalance and skin that isn’t responding to basic facials anymore. It works deeper, targeting acne at the source — not just cleaning the surface.

We begin with a deep cleanse and acne peel to prep the skin and open pathways for treatment. This exfoliates dead skin, reduces oil build-up and helps decongest the follicles so the next steps can work more effectively.

Next is BBL (BroadBand Light) — a medical-grade light treatment designed to target acne within the skin.
BBL works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that:

  • destroy acne-causing bacteria
  • calm inflammation and redness
  • reduce oil gland activity
  • support skin healing
  • improve overall skin quality over time

It doesn’t just treat what you see on the surface — it works deeper to change how the skin behaves, which helps reduce recurring breakouts.

We finish with LED therapy to calm and repair the skin after treatment:

  • reduces post-treatment redness
  • speeds healing
  • supports collagen and skin recovery
  • helps prevent new breakouts forming

This is designed for guys who:

  • keep breaking out no matter what they use
  • have inflamed acne or beard folliculitis
  • experience sweat-triggered breakouts
  • have oily, reactive skin
  • want real correction, not just a surface clean

It tackles acne from multiple angles — clearing congestion, reducing bacteria, calming inflammation and rebalancing oil production.

Over a series, skin becomes:

  • clearer
  • less reactive
  • less oily
  • smoother in texture
  • more resilient to breakouts

The Difference Between the Two

Locker Room Reset = maintenance + decongestion
Best for keeping skin clear and preventing breakouts.

Game Day Skin Protocol = correction + treatment
Best for active acne, recurring breakouts and deeper skin issues.

Both are built for real male skin — sweat, shaving, oil, training and lifestyle included

The Playbook

Beard? Stubble? Clean shaven? Here’s the tricks and ingredients to build a realistic skin care routine that combats sweat, oils and bacteria build up to fight inflammation, breakouts, ingrown hair and redness with sustainable and confident results.

The biggest mistake most guys make is doing too much.

Too much scrubbing. Too many products. Too many steps.

Skin gets worse, not better. Less is more.

Start with 4 products max:

  1. A good cleanser
  2. A serum that targets your main concern
  3. A basic moisturiser
  4. A natural, light physical SPF

That’s it. Build from there if needed.

For specific skin conditions, we’d suggest coming into FEALS for a skin consultation to get clear on treatments that work best for you. .

Men’s skin is thicker, oilier and more prone to congestion, these are your skincare go-tos:

Niacinamide (B3)
Balances oil, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness and breakouts.

Glycolic Acid
Your heavy lifter. Dissolves dead skin, clears blocked pores, smooths texture and helps
prevent ingrown hairs around the beard and jawline.

Lactic Acid
Gently exfoliates while hydrating great for rough, dull or dry skin.

Mandelic Acid
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Ideal for acne-prone skin and ingrown hairs..

Tea Tree
Natural breakout control. Helps manage folliculitis and irritated skin.

When sport and sweat increase, sometimes skin needs backup.

Pumpkin Peel
Your seasonal reset. Enzymes dissolve dead skin, Vitamin A boosts turnover, Vitamin C
brightens and zinc calms inflammation. Clears congestion without downtime.

Salicylic Acid Peels
Made for men’s skin. Oil-soluble, penetrates deep into pores, clears blackheads, acne and
Ingrown hairs..

BBL Acne Treatments

The Playbook

Take a breath

Give your skin breathing space. A 24-hour skin fast every now and then with no actives, and no heavy products, helps to reset your barrier and oil balance.

Trust your face

In the morning, skip the cleanser and use warm water. Your natural oils are protective and antimicrobial. Stripping them first thing often leads to more oil later.

Get in the ocean

Salt water is seriously underrated. Ocean dips help reduce inflammation, dry active breakouts and naturally disinfect the skin. Salt draws congestion out and speeds healing that post-beach glow is real.

Shave Cleaner

When shaving, ditch the foam and use your cleanse,r especially if it contains AHA or BHA. It softens dead skin, prevents buildup and helps to stop ingrown hairs while you shave. Foam just coats the surface; active cleansers actually treat the skin.

Body Electric

Electric razor? Cleanse before and after. It removes bacteria beforehand and clears micro-debris afterwards. Follow with a glycolic toner – it’ll tingle, but it’s breaking down dead skin and bacteria sitting in the follicles.

Fight the inflammation

Inflammation needs cooling, not scrubbing. Cold compress, even rubbing ice along the beard line, calms redness and swelling fast.

Sleep like a king

Upgrade your pillowcase. Bamboo and silk satin create less friction and hold less oil and bacteria than cotton meaning fewer overnight breakouts.

Skin Gym

Support skin from the inside:

  • Magnesium helps calm stress + inflammation
  • Zinc supports healing and oil control
  • Vitamin D from sunlight boosts immunity, oil balance and skin turnover

Remember

You don’t need a 10-step routine.

You don’t need fancy products.

You don’t need to overthink it.

Clean Skin

Smart Shaving

Good ingredients

Consistency

Sort the basics and your skin will follow.

Because when your skin’s clear, beard’s behaving, and breakouts aren’t running the show — you feel better, look sharper and show up with way more confidence
