Stay Young with Male Grooming

Stay Young with Male Grooming




If you care about the way you look, and live in the UK's capital, it can be of value finding a salon that specializes in male grooming in London. Though it is possible to care for our hair and skin ourselves, by treating yourself to regular cosmetic procedures at the hands of a professional, you will discover that your outward appearance is more healthy and desirable.



Male grooming is now a massive industry. It was not all that long ago when most guys would've balked at the idea of visiting a salon. Today we find that it is a choice made by countless men, and of all ages. It is thanks to role models such as David Beckham and Russell Brand that male beauty care has become an accepted activity.



If you want to remain young looking for as long as theoretically possible, it is worth finding out what male grooming services are available in your local salon. There are certain services which are extremely popular with men of all backgrounds. For example, facials, body scrubs and related treatments can make you feel and appear younger, and also have a positive effect on the condition of the skin.



Most men have oilier skin than the average woman, and there are many reasons for this. As guys typically spend less time cleaning their bodies, it can occur that grime and bacteria build up that lead to an unhealthy appearance. By choosing to undergo facial treatments on a regular basis, you can retain a glow that is extremely attractive. Facials can also help to minimize the risk of spots and acne developing, as dead skin cells can be removed through a process of exfoliation.



If you believe you can save yourself some cash by exfoliating your skin by yourself, you will only be half right. Sure, it is possible for any one of us to scrub off dead skin cells at home, by attending a male spa you would discover that the results are a lot more attractive. At the hands of a professional, you will find that your skin is left feeling incredibly fresh, clean, and smooth, far more than if you were to exfoliate in your own home.



It is amazing the difference that a bit of pampering can make to our state of mind. If you wear to treat yourself to a visit to a spa, you will end up feeling like you have a new lease of life. Never underestimate the psychological impact of undertaking a range of professional grooming techniques. They can be used to boost both self confidence and self esteem.



If you are yet to book an appointment at a male beauty salon in London, it is worth making inquiries with as many establishments as possible, prior to confirming your attendance. Alongside comparing the costs, you should also make yourself aware of what different treatments and techniques are offered at each of the salon's you are checking out.



If possible, always search for a male grooming in London spa or grooming studio that has the best possible reputation. A small amount of research online should allow you to understand which salons have the most prestige and which should be avoided. Male grooming has never been so easy.

Male Chest Waxing - What's Included in Your Treatment

Male Chest Waxing – What’s included within your Treatment




With more and more guys following the trend to wax their chests either as a pre holiday wax treatment or as part of a regular male grooming regime I want to explain the chest waxing treatment, offer some good practice pre and aftercare guidelines and look at some of the best ways to avoid a break out...

Chest hair is generally fairly deep rooted hair, close to the heart so nice strong hair follicles with a rich blood supply, and often seen as a more uncomfortable male waxing treatment as opposed to the back waxing or other men’s body areas.

It’s not uncommon for virgin waxers to have an initial reaction after their first chest wax, with small bumps and redness, this can be normal for a lot of guys, and generally within a few days the chest settles down again. I find that clients who take anti histamine, for a day before their waxing and a few days after seem to manage the reaction a lot better. I have a lot of clients who wax their chests and a lot of these clients find that the anti histamine has helped.

I generally trim longer chest hair first before I begin any waxing, and then cleanse the skin before applying a small amount of pre waxing oil, the oil allows the wax to cling to the hair and not to the skin, and makes the hair removal on the chest so much more comfortable.

For most of my chest waxing treatments I use two waxing methods, I apply non strip waxes on certain areas, and then I also use strip waxes on other parts. I find that some parts of the chest can be more sensitive so the non strip waxes work better in those parts.

All the waxes used for my treatments are Perron Rigot hypoallergenic wax so they minimise the reaction on the skin. I never use a roller waxing method on this area, as I find that it can drag and can be slightly uncomfortable for the clients ( in my opinion I find that for male waxing roller systems work best on the legs and on the back only).

At the end of a chest wax, after I have used Jasmine oil and cleansers, I then apply a mixture of a refreshing aloe Vera gel mixed with some tea tree after waxing moisturiser to soothe the chest area.

As with all waxing procedures clients need to avoid touching the area and to keep the skin clean and cool. If clients are coming straight from work to their appointment it’s often best if they can bring a clean cotton loose fitting t-shirt to change into at the end of the treatment.

Aftercare guidelines really do need to be followed, and during the treatment I will discuss these in detail with the client, and I will follow this up with an aftercare pack, which also includes written after care notes.

If guys follow the aftercare guidelines they generally can manage to keep the skin smooth and can generally avoid a break out in this area.

I retail several products that can assist with the maintenance programme and I can also often recommend alternatives that can be purchased on the high street. Often with male waxing, for the chest and for any part of the body, if you follow the basic aftercare guidelines, keeping skin clean , cool , and then following an exfoliation programme you can keep the skin clear, smooth and looking good...
