Its ten years ago since David Beckham made the metrosexual lifestyle cool wearing a black sarong on a night out with wife Victoria Beckham. No doubt, Mrs. Beckham, who is becoming more known for her couture fashion lines than her singing in über girl group the Spice Girls, chose the outfit for him, but since then David has been regularly been named best dressed male across the globe and doesn’t fail to impress when caught on camera.
Since then male grooming has rocketed in popularity as men across the world decided that they wanted a piece of the pampering action, something women seemed to spend a fair bit of time doing already, so why shouldn’t they?!
So what is a ‘metrosexual man’?
The phrase was originally coined when describing a single young man with a high disposable income, living or working in the city (because that’s where all the best shops are). These days though, it doesn’t matter where you live, we guarantee it wouldn’t be difficult to find a man who uses a bit of moisturising face cream every now and then if you looked.
And since then brands like L’oreal and Nivea have gone to town marketing products for this unforeseen market, making it almost impossible for blokes to live without a bit of concealer or guy liner. Well maybe that’s taking it a bit far for some, but you never know what might happen in the future!
Treat your man or just enlighten him on ‘The Works’ men’s grooming package at the Falls Spa at the Lodore Falls Hotel and he can indulge in a Turkish Wet Shave, facial steam, nose and ear tidy and mini face and back massage. All this for just £25!

HEALTH AND BEAUTY TIPS FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON -
By Christine Bibby, Salon Manager Lodore Falls Hotel
Christine Bibby Salon Manager at the Lodore Falls Hotel, has years of experience in famous Spa’s in the UK and Europe. She knows how to make you look and feel gorgeous for the festive season – after all, Christmas isn’t just about buying presents and cooking the goose, it’s about looking and feeling great too.
The Lodore Falls is an exciting place to work during the festive period. There’s a festival of food to tempt even the most ardent calorie counter and for one year only, the hotel is ornately decorated to the theme of the Nutcracker Ballet, with ballet shoes and tutu’s dazzling the entrance and Russian dishes incorporated into the festive menu. Great fun, but not for the waistline. Don’t worry – I know some great ways to look amazing:
Tip 1 – That little black dress WILL fit
Vintage is in, so restore the LBD at the back of your wardrobe! With a £55 Contour Wrap it only takes two hours for instant inch loss. In that time you’re guaranteed to lose six inches (on average most lose 10-14) a quick way to make your LBD perfectly figure hugging. Wraps also cleanse, detoxify and compress fatty tissues, making you feel better all round and ready to party.
Tip 2 - Get the party glowing
Zesty Lime and Ginger Salt Glow at £40, is our most popular scrub; cleansing, polishing and softening the skin …. and if you have a sexy backless dress there’s nothing better than a Back Facial! (£40) Spots and dry skin are relieved with a deep cleansing mask and massage – making you feel a million dollars.
If you haven’t got time to pop to the spa, a good alternative is a honey and sugar exfoliation, add sea salt for a more intense scrub. You will need someone to help you if you want to do your back at home – but perhaps that’s part of the fun!
Tip 3 – Flutter and sparkle – high definition makeup
The right makeup will make your eyes sparkle – but keep it simple. If you concentrate on your eyes, tone down the lips. The mono pallet is back this season – silvers, greys and smoke are very flattering – and dark eye liner creates a better effect. The eye shadows and blushers we use in the salon have a glitter effect – they must be good because several top models use them all the time. If your lips are your star attraction, match them to your nails.
Tip 4 – Top to toe– a sparkly nail package.
Base and top coats for nails are really important – especially on winter toes, polish will last months. Make sure your nails are really dry – leave them two hours and don’t put your feet or hands in water for the rest of the day – a great excuse to get out of the washing up. Another secret is to apply more top coat next day – it will stay on longer. Our ‘Sparkly Nails’ package includes toes and nails (£55) and is popular at Christmas – everyone says yes to a glitter top coat!
Tip 5 – Don’t neglect your hands and feet in winter
The trick is to put oil on your hands at night and sleep with a pair of gloves on – same with your feet – moisturise and wear socks. Luxury manicures are popular in winter because hands benefit from moisturising, massage and almond oil used on cuticles, nails and skin.
Tip 6 – Men like a bit of Turkish delight
There’s no need for the man in your life to miss out. The ‘Turkish Works’ at £30 is secretly popular – both as presents and treats for the boys. They will leave the salon neat, trimmed and very tidy – having also tasted a facial and back massage – leave them wanting more!
Tip 7 – Present time
Everyone likes to be pampered so treatment vouchers are not a ‘cop out’ gift. Pamper Days from £50 and Turkish Wet Shaves from £15 are our top two presents – a fab way to make your friends feel great and so easy to buy on-line via our website.
Have a fantastic festive Christmas.
