THE ELYSIAN MAN BY SHARLYN MARQUEZ
I’m a big believer of equality. When I became an Esthetician, one of my goals was to include & educate the male community about the importance of skincare! In many cultures, (and in the older generations) it is assumed that skincare is only for females. As if us females are the only humans with skin & skin conditions! We’re in the 21st century & that mentality should get updated with the times! However you prefer to call it, facials or skincare, men need it too! Many men are in hard labor type of careers (construction, mechanics, home renovations ect.) Unfortunately, one of the cons of those careers are: skin challenges! Whether it is sun damage, ingrown hairs, face not thoroughly cleaned, unseen bacteria hiding in the facial hair, blackheads, the list goes on! Most men are not taught to have a thorough skincare routine to address these concerns. It is also unfortunate that most skincare lines cater to the female, for example using flower scented ingredients. As the Owner of Blissful Image, and a believer of equality, it only made sense to include treatments catered to the men! I want to help bridge the gap between men and skincare. Blissful Image offers a Hand & Foot Repair service. This treatment aids in softening hardened hands & feet. Not only does it thoroughly cleanse and exfoliates the man’s hands and feet, but it also locks in moisture with Paraffin Wax. Paraffin Wax aids in softening the tough skin, leaving it feeling smooth and supple! Even 274

after the treatment is complete, the moisture continues to elevate. This treatment also aids in opening pores and removing dead skin cells. It helps the skin look fresher and feel smoother! One of my favorite skincare treatments for men is the Elysian Treatment. This service deep cleans not only the face, but also facial hairs. Even the long beards! The power tools used aids in: removing unseen debris & bacteria, extractions of blackheads/ acne, improving the look of dull skin, deeply moisturizing facial hairs & skin to name a few. Also added are neck & shoulder massage with a choice of scalp or foot rub! The products used are gender neutral inregads to scent and colors. I use skincare products that are USA made, natural, vegan and CBD infused (0 THC)! The Elysian treatment turns the hardworking, worn out man into an Elysian Man! The Elysian Man leaves Blissful Image looking & feeling refreshed, restored & renewed! He will walk out looking and feeling like a new man! Blissful Image makes it easy to book an Elysian Treatment.
