In Support of Movember

In Australia, 3 out of 4 suicides are by men. 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men.

Movember funds ground-breaking medical research, innovative cancer tests and treatments, and game-changing mental health interventions. Along the way, millions have joined the movement.

So what is Movember all about? A movement that had funded more than 1250 health projects around the world, your support helps us to continue making positive change in Australia and beyond. We’re taking on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Join us on our journey this Movember and be a force for change.

When it comes to men’s mental health, Movember promotes early intervention and prevention by uniting experts to build transformative approaches. Movember’s purpose is to change the face of men’s health and reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%, halving the number of deaths from prostate and testicular cancer by 2030.

This Movember, there are many ways you can join in and provide support. By signing up to fundraise, or by purchasing any of the L’Oréal Barber Club products, your dough will save a bro. Reaching out for open conversation and empowering yourself with the right tools is also a great first step. We’ve listed some simple but powerful ways that you can change the face of men’s health.

Catching up with mates regularly brings more than good memories. Make sure to make time for those around you - share a meal, take a walk and stay connected. It’s a simple tip, but one that increases the health and happiness of men’s lives everywhere.

Checking in on your mates and loved ones can be tricky to navigate when things aren’t great. Asking your mates if they’re okay, or opening up about your own mental health shows genuine and proactive support, and can change the course of someone’s life. You don’t need to be an expert or be the sole solution, but normalising conversations around mental wellbeing is a life-saving move.

At 50, talk to your doctor about prostate cancer and whether it’s right for you to have a PSA test. If you’re of African or Caribbean descent or have a family history of prostate cancer, have that conversation at 45. Know your numbers, know your risk, and talk to your doctor.

Get to know what’s normal for your testicles. By knowing the normal shape, size and weight of your testicles, you’re better armed to know if something doesn’t feel right. Give them a self-check regularly, and visit your GP if you have any concerns.

For the month of November, men grow moustaches to spark conversations and raise funds for men’s health. These are conversations that raise awareness and educate men and women of the key health issues men face, and prompt men to engage in their health.

To go alongside this great initiative, our Men Expert range offers daily beard grooming care, to help that Mo look its best all month long. Skincare routines for men are also a great example of self-care, and can help you to look and feel great. And when you buy any of these products, your dough will save a bro.

Start each morning with a cleansing all-in-one wash like the Barber Club 3-In-1 Beard + Face + Hair Wash, which protects your hair from itchiness and dryness with natural essential oils. Next up, the Barber Club Beard Oil soothes any itchiness and nourishes the skin underneath for daily protection and strengthening. Finally, keep your November Mo sleek and soft with daily use of the Barber Club Short Beard Moisturiser, enriched with essential oils.

Men’s health begins with education. Check on yourself and your mates, and know what to look for in both physical and mental wellbeing. Practice speaking up and openly, and be a transformative part of improving men’s health.
