Hong Kongers are no slouches when it comes to dressing up their pets and giving them all the pampering they deserve, so it is not surprising that the city boasts a burgeoning number of bespoke pet-grooming establishments. The handful we profile here stand out because of the professionalism of their staff and the quality of their services.&nbsp;
Groomers are skilled at creating a stress-free environment for their four-legged clients by handling each animal with love and care. That way, pet parents can rest easy, without having to worry if their fur babies are in good hands – thus ensuring that a visit to the pet beauty salon is a pleasant experience for all.
On top of the expected wash, cut and style, pet grooming establishments also offer well-deserved spa treatments and other makeovers to glam up the coveted furry animals of owners wishing them to be noticed on their next day out together. They will stock a voguish collection of pet accessories and toys as well, so following a rigorous fur-care regime that will add an extra tinge of adorableness to your beloved pet, you can also pick a piece of jewellery to enhance their – and your – stylish appeal. It would certainly be a fashion walk on the way home.
As much as a dynamic wash and scrub followed by a haircut and nail clipping can make an animal more presentable, pet grooming is also essential for maintaining cleanliness at home.

Pet’s Lagoon
This grooming establishment in Mid-Levels is a pets’ favourite – according to owners who have commented that their dogs and cats found the services to be both comfortable and enjoyable.
In turn, pawrents have become regulars at Pet’s Lagoon, revisiting whenever it is time for their children to get a trim. They praise not only the services but the staff who are seen as amicable while also being professional. Each animal receives great care and the benefits of high-quality products. Even pets that have recently undergone surgery are reported to have experienced no discomforting moments during a grooming session here.
Pet’s Lagoon is open seven days a week, from 10 am to 8 pm, except on Mondays when they open at noon. More details are <a href="https://petslagoon.business.site/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

Dogger
Don’t let the very obvious name that suggests a place exclusively devoted to dogs fool you, because, in addition to providing makeovers for canines, Dogger also caters to cats.
The pet beauty salon in Kennedy Town is in high demand among pet parents so it can be rather difficult to get an appointment. But rather than look elsewhere, owners will persist as they are confident in the quality of service their pets will receive. Well-trained staff are skilled in the art of washing and trimming furry friends, delivering a haircut that will make them the pride of the dog park. All pet carers here treat animals with genuine affection and gentleness, as if they were their own. In addition to grooming, Dogger offers a raft of other services such as dog training, pet immigration and daycare. It opens daily from 10 am to 8 pm. More details are <a href="https://www.dogger.hk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

Paw Palace
It is not an exaggeration to call this place a palace because it treats pets like princes and princesses. The Causeway Bay-situated grooming spot elevates the typical wash, dry and trim grooming process into a more spa-oriented and boujee experience.
Beauty treatments such as Nanobubble Ozone Shampoo &amp; Cut Course, Total Skin Care Hydrotherapy, Milk &amp; Honey Hydrating Scrub, Deluxe Facial Care, and Ceramide Skin Barrier Hydrotherapy make all pawed beings feel truly pampered.
Paw Palace’s attention to hygiene is noteworthy, as is the staff’s ability to make the pets feel calm while effortlessly turning them out like they can win a beauty pageant. For a pet who enjoys the lap of luxury, this establishment is second to none. It opens from 10 am to 9 pm daily except Wednesday.

Pet Stops: Grooming salons for furred creatures accustomed to a lap of luxury

The luxury bag of your dreams comes with the promise of transcending seasons. But before you know a scratch, a wrinkle or a stain might taint its value. Ahead, we tell you hacks of how to maintain designer handbags to increase their lifespan, of course it cost a fortune in the first place, regardless of the price tag, something with a top spot in your repertoire deserves TLC and the best caring techniques.&nbsp;
1. Store out of direct light and never hang it
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-66048 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-6-1.png" alt="" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-6-1.png 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-6-1-200x300.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-6-1-186x280.png 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-6-1-120x180.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-6-1-400x601.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
 
Harsh sunlight, even through the glass can damage the leather and cause discolouration. Hanging it on the chair or handles after a long day might seem obvious, resist the temptation. Experts recommend storing bags in upright position in dust bags, or original boxes in earmarked shelves. Stuff them with acid-free tissue or even soft t-shirts and scarves to save space and&nbsp;maintain the shape over the years.

2. Caring for leather
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-66049 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1.png" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-8-1-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Luxury leather is designed to stand the test of time; learning how to clean without ruining it is a life hack which will serve you well. Always ask the brand for detailed instructions on the best way to keep it clean, but basic tips include using a soft, dry cotton cloth to swipe it down.
Refrain from harsh cleaning agents; incase of a spill, dab alcohol-free wipes (alcohol is known to dry out the surface), leave it for a couple of minutes and apply a protection cream for a solid conditioning. Just like you moisturise your skin, leather goods need conditioning to avoid drying out and cracking over time. Focus on cleaning the high-touch areas around the handles, corners and base, remember to buff off any excess.&nbsp;Having the specially designed cleaning and protecting agents for the leather on your bag is an investment you will not regret.&nbsp;
3. Moisture is the nemesis
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-66050 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1.png" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-7-1-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Luxury bags are studier but not invincible, especially not to humidity. Moisture is the enemy of leather and Hong Kong has oodles of it.&nbsp;Never discard the silica gel sachets which come with your bag, in fact keep replacing them and add a dehumidifier in the closet to avoid mould and increase longevity.&nbsp;

4. Colour transfer
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-66047 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2.png" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2.png 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2-200x133.png 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2-600x399.png 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2-421x280.png 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2-120x80.png 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2-500x333.png 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-5-2-400x266.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Accidentally wearing a dark coloured dress with a beige bag can cause colour stains. Here prevention is better than cure because when leather comes in contact with wet surfaces, the dye can bleed causing a notorious stain. Be quick to act, patch test with a high grade leather cleanser, immediately stop if the original colour is wearing out. If the stain has not settled, chances are you will be able to take it out; heading to a professional cleaner is the next best solution.&nbsp;
5. Handbag liner is a solid investment
The best way to maintain pristine insides of your bag is to invest in a liner. Not only will a liner make it feasible to swap bags at the last minute, it helps in organising your essentials and makes for room for extra pockets.&nbsp;

But gentlemen, let the steep learning curve through you off, because neglecting your dermis can cause severe problems.

Keep the body and facial routine separate 
Although a steaming hot shower can be therapeutic after a long day, there are two common mistakes that occur during this relaxing period of your self-care regimen that you should avoid. Firstly, don&#8217;t wash your face with hot water. Secondly, make sure you use soaps that are specifically made for facial use, rather than bodywash. In both instances, these culprits lead to dry skin and skin surface damage due to the&nbsp;skin on the face being more sensitive than the body.
Solution: A more appropriate and gentle treatment is to use gentle face cleansers and rinse with lukewarm water.&nbsp;

Exfoliate twice a week 
Although daily face washing is non-negotiable for a properly kept mug, it isn&#8217;t enough to settle for just that. Although cleansing helps the skin look healthier, a lack of exfoliation leads to a build-up of dead skin cells and can result in dry, patchy skin and clogged pores.
Solution:&nbsp;Using an exfoliating face scrub gentle washes off dead skin cells and triggers the skin’s natural renewal process&nbsp;— revealing younger looking skin.

Treat acne 
Although you should never pop a pimple, that doesn&#8217;t mean to default to no treatment at all.&nbsp;Especially for men who have more androgen (a hormone that creates sebum, which gives the skin its unpleasantly greasy texture), male pores tend to clog easily, causing acne. Leaving them untreated without any remedial solution can leave behind marks and in some cases, permanent acne scars.&nbsp;
Solution: Products with retinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide help heal the skin, strip down dead skin cells and fight bacteria&nbsp;— providing better maintenance and prevention for acne-prone skin.

Moisturise&nbsp;after every wash 
Although men’s skin is thicker and more resilient to ageing than women’s, simply washing-and-drying is not going to cut.&nbsp;If a truly fresh faced dermis is what you aim for, moisturising is the key. Face wash typically contain ingredients that can strip away the skin&#8217;s natural oils, so without moisturisers,&nbsp;the skin&nbsp;will&nbsp;appear dry, while also becoming more sensitive to flaking and, according to Baylor College of Medicine, extremely dry skin can develop into more serious skin conditions like inflammation and eczema.
Solution: Apply a generous layer of moisturiser and massage it into the skin. There are various types of products to choose from which benefit different skin type but commonly soothing gels with aloe vera accommodate sensitive skin, while oil-based cream nourishes dry skin and water-based moisturisers combat oily skin.

Apply sunscreen daily 
It&#8217;s a common misconception that sunscreen is reserved only on the days you spend out on the beach or at sea, but that is not the case as the majority of dermatologists will suggest. According to Harvard Health Publishing, the UV rays from the sun can damage the skin&#8217;s pigment cells and increase the growth of free radicals. This&nbsp; contributes to the risk of developing skin cancer and speeding up premature ageing.&nbsp;
Solution: Apply an even layer of sunscreen of at least a level of SPF 30 (after a moisturiser) to block harmful UV rays from sinking into the skin. There are also a variety of moisturisers with SPF included available on the market for a two-in-one effect.

Five skincare tips to avoid acne and dry skin for men

Gone are the misconceptions that men do not need skin care products. Modern men are increasingly more conscious about their personal wellness, hygiene and appearance. In fact, the global market for male grooming products is expected to rise to US$81.2 million by 2024, according to Research and Markets, a global market insight and analysis company. But with such a diverse range of skincare products from oil-control to vegan-based formula and unisex options, navigating the market for a product right for you can be daunting. Here’s a list comprised of some of the top brands for men’s skincare and grooming products:

Although men’s skin is thicker and more resilient to ageing than women’s, thanks to their higher collagen density and natural testosterone, the skin, regardless of gender, is still vulnerable to external factors such as poor diet, pollutants and excessive UV exposure. Though there is no one-size-fits-all solution to skincare, the holy grail to any healthy and hydrated skin consists of a cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer. Additionally, grooming products such as serums and beard oils also help support and reinforce the benefits of your skincare routine.

Its non-foaming formula mimics the skin&#8217;s natural pH levels mildly exfoliating and brightening the skin for a fresh start to the day before a shave.&nbsp;

Depending on how sensitive the skin is, skincare routine can alternate between face cleansers and exfoliators for an occasional facial skin therapy- removing dead skin cells and allowing for your grooming products to be absorbed more efficiently. La Mer’s Replenishing Oil Exfoliator is especially refreshing after a workout or before a shave. Infused with sugar crystals and sea salt, the exfoliator refines, detoxifies and replenishes the skin.&nbsp;

Rounding up the grooming regime, serums and beard oils are the perfect boost of hydration and revitalization to reinforce the effects of moisturizers. Serums contain a higher concentration of active ingredients (eg. hyaluronic acid and vitamin C) than moisturizers and provides extra attention to skin management such as reducing wrinkles. Clinique for men’s Maximum Hydrator encapsulates antioxidants and super-moisturising hyaluronic acid that adds a boost of hydration for the skin. Alternatively, Natura Bissé’s Essential Shock Intense Complex reduces the depth of wrinkle lines and tightens the skins with ingredients such as Iris Florentina flower extract, amino acids and encapsulated vitamin C

Well groomed: Skincare essentials for men

Male hair loss, although common, can be alarming and is an undesirable feature many of us would like to prevent. Also known as male pattern baldness or alopecia, it is a common condition when excessive hair loss occurs in a concentrated area of the body or head. According to the experts at Harvard University, up to 40 percent of men will experience an obvious thinning or loss of hair as early as in their 20s and 30s due to genetics, side effects from medications and even as an unfortunate result of prior hair treatments. Fortunately, modern technology offers solutions to deter early onset balding and even prevent hair loss altogether. If you&#8217;re seeking to combat male balding, the following treatments are worthy of further examination.

Minoxidil
Minoxidil is a topical medication that slows down the process of hair loss and stimulates your follicles to grow new hair. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that this treatment is effective with minimal side effects. Visible results typically take between four months to one year. Unfortunately, the effects are not permanent, and continual application is necessary to continue its efficacy. &nbsp;

Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is a permanent alternative for hair re-growth. The process involves transplanting hair from active hair follicles around the scalp and into other areas where hair is thinning or balding, and takes about six to eight hours. However, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), multiple follow-up treatments are often necessary for effective results. This treatment offers a permanent solution that embodies a natural look, though it carries some risk of scarring and infection. The surgery is also not suited for everybody. For instance, men whose hair loss is caused by medication or have already reached a late stage of widespread thinning and baldness won&#8217;t see much benefit from this procedure. To get a better understanding of the stages of hair loss and solutions to hair growth treatments to deter hair loss and restore hair growth, book a consultation with trained medical professionals such as&nbsp;Hair Transplant HK.&nbsp;

Unlike hair transplants, low-level laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless hair loss treatment that utilises low-level light energy to stimulate hair follicles without causing any scarring. A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that laser hair treatments could provide up to a 39-percent increase in hair growth within 16 weeks. Each treatment takes about an hour, with roughly four to eight sessions needed to yield results. Locally, Central-based Esthe Clinic helps clients combats hair loss by stimulating hair growth using micro-needling and organic silicon products specially developed to strengthen hair fibres and slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth process. Alternatively, DNA Hair Laboratory offers award-winning&nbsp;treatments with the latest UV technology from Japan to target different kinds of hair loss problems such as thinning hair and alopecia.&nbsp;&nbsp;
DNA Hair Labratory hair loss treatment: HK$1,450Up per session (price includes consultation and deep cleanse treatment)
Esthe Clinic hair grwoth treatment: HK$2,888 per 10 sessions (price includes scalp test)

How to counter hair loss gafencu magazine

Combat male hair loss with these innovative procedures

The rise in popularity of modern barbershops with traditional wet shaves reflects the fact that the city&#8217;s well-groomed men recognize the importance of a sheer cut and straight-razor-shaved hair. Unlike hair salons, barbers equipped with shears, clippers and a straight razor blade, are specialists in what men desire and will provide an experience like no other. These are the city&#8217;s top places for men to get a gentleman&#8217;s cut and a traditional wet shave.&nbsp;

Making the cut: Top barbershops for a classic wet shave

Do you know that our skin can absorb up to 60 percent of the ingredients in skincare products which can later come in contact with our bloodstream?&nbsp;
It can be a bit scary to imagine that many cosmetic products are comprised of different chemicals that have the potential of causing more harm than good. Though the minute amounts of chemicals used to produce skincare products are legal and safe. they can still cause some visible side effects, especially to those with sensitive skin.
Here are some of the most common ingredients in skincare products which are best to avoid:

<h3>2. Parabens</h3>
Two common anti-bacterial preservatives used in many skincare products. There have been recent findings of Parabens in breast tumours.
<h3>3. Formaldehyde</h3>

<h3>4. Sodium lauryl suphate (SLS)</h3>
An ingredient used as an emulsifier to thicken cosmetic products. It creates a texture that is easy to apply and rinse off the skin. However, because this chemical is a harsh detergent, it is also known to cause redness, irritation, and dry skin. This chemical can result in skin issues such as dermatitis and dandruff, especially to those with sensitive skin.
SLS is commonly found in shaving cream, makeup remover, and bathing products
<h3>5. Triclosan</h3>
Similar to SLS, this ingredient is a harsh anti-bacterial agent that also acts as a cosmetic product preservative. It has been found to cause several allergies and is suspected to be linked with hormone disruption in the body.&nbsp;
Triclosan is commonly found in deodorant, hand soap, and shower gel.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>6. Petrolatum</h3>
This mineral oil type is usually found in lip balms and moisturizers and it provides temporary relief to dry sky though it doesn&#8217;t really contain any moisturizing properties. Instead, it acts as a barrier to retain moisture but blocks the pores from absorbing moisture from other applications, thus preventing the skin from breathing and causing it to dry.
Petrolatum is commonly found in lip products, moisturizers, and sunscreen.
<h3>7. Coal tar</h3>
Unfortunately for women who love to play with lipsticks, this ingredient is likely found in most tinted lip products. Typically, the more vibrant the product, the more likely it is to contain this ingredient as it is used as a base to brighten the colours of cosmetics products. This ingredient can cause irritation resulting in acne and allergic breakouts.&nbsp;
 
Coal tar is commonly found in lipsticks, hair dyes, and lotions.

<h3>8. Hydroquinone</h3>
This ingredient acts as a skin-lightening agent to bleach skin. It helps with hyperpigmentation, such as acne scars, age spots, and freckles by reducing melanin — the cells that produce skin colour. However, over time, overuse of this harsh bleaching agent can cause skin damage that can result in blemishes and premature aging. 
Hydroquinone is commonly found in skin lighteners, facial moisturizers, and cleansers.
<h3>9. Synthetic Fragrances</h3>
Not limited to perfumes, synthetic fragrances can be found in any product with a pleasant scent to it. Typically, these scents are artificial and chemical-based. Natural scents with essential oils are better alternatives to avoid the side effects of synthetic fragrances which have been found to be correlated with respiratory issues and allergic skin reactions. 
 
Synthetic fragrances are commonly found in facial products, makeup, sunscreen, and bathing products.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>10. Alcohol</h3>
<h3>Alcohol has been known to cause the skin to dry and flake. Although its use brings positive effects, prolonged use can damage the surface of the skin to dry and flake, disrupting the skin&#8217;s renewal cycle. 
 
Alcohol is commonly found in toners, aftershave, and lotions.&nbsp;

Advent Calendars: The best way to make the wait more exciting

Following the success of the iconic Rose Goldea perfume that was launched in 2016, Bulgari has again paid a knowing homage to that most regal of flowers – rose – with its newly-unveiled Bulgari Rose Goldea Blossom Delight.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48534" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466.jpg" alt="Bulgari Rose Goldea Blossom Delight" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/700-x-466-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Centred around the ever-romantic rose, the new aroma is as layered as the petals of the eponymous flower that it emulates. Inspired by the tender rosebud on the verge of bloom, the scent conjures the exact moment when the bud begins to flourish. With signature complexity, Bulgari’s Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas deftly recreates both the delicacy of the blossoming buds and the allure of the flowers in full bloom. So the top notes open with a fruity fragrance creating an eager anticipation for the heart notes which are dominantly rosy, while the finish is unabashedly musky and sensual.
This perfume, then, is for a woman who is spontaneous and bold in equal measure. While the original Rose Goldea fragrance was all about innocent femininity, the Bulgari Rose Goldea Blossom Delight is surely meant for the adventuress at heart, giving her confidence as she gets ready to rule the world, her head held high.
