London Male Waxing – The basic waxing principles of preparation and aftercare for all male waxing clients
More and more men are following the trend to have a clean smooth body image and a hair free look... from the classic and popular male back wax to the intimate male Brazilian waxing or male Hollywood waxing, all of these treatments are available.
For many years male Brazilian waxing clients consisted of bodybuilders, sportsmen, male models, however nowadays more and more men are having male intimate waxing to satisfy their self image, for the benefit of their partners, or to create that “optical inch “ .
The male Brazilian waxing leaves a small amount of pubic hair, often called a landing strip, and this can be styled to your individual choice with either waxing or clippered. The male Brazilian waxing treatment removes hair from the penis, scrotum, bikini line, the buttocks, including the cleavage and around the anus, leaving a clean smooth hair free area.
The male Hollywood waxing is exactly the same as the male Brazilian but all the pubic hair is removed including the hair on the lower stomach, for a completely smooth hair free finish.
As with all male waxing, the preparation of the skin before during and after is important and this will help to avoid ingrown hairs (follicultitis) as the new hair growth starts to appear.
• Step one – Pre Wax- Areas are cleansed using a sanitizer to remove excess oils and bacteria from the skin, and to lift the hair slightly to ensure easier waxing.
• Step two – During waxing – a light application of jasmine oil from Perron Rigot, this acts as a barrier between the wax and the skin to ensure a more painless and faster hair removal method. This will be applied to the skin under all types of waxes, either strip or non strip.
• Step three- after waxing – firstly a little jasmine oil is applied to remove any wax that remains on the skin, followed by some sanitizer to remove the oils and cleanse the skin. Depending on the areas that have been waxed different types of creams can be applied. I use an organic aloe vera gel, which is a natural product and also suitable moisturisers which contain vitamin B5, which helps to soothe the skin after waxing, and other hair removal methods.
• After care: Free aftercare packs will be given to all clients, these will include some body exfoliation, and some moisturiser, as well as good guidelines for how to manage your cleansing and body scrubs at home. During the first few weeks after any waxing good aftercare will be required to ensure your waxing is well maintained and to avoid folliculitis.
Perron Rigot have an amazing range of waxing aftercare products that offer protection from ingrown hairs, soothing and rehydration and more recently a range which helps to minimise hair regrowth.
