About Jack Dunn Male Grooming

Jack Dunn – Male Brazilian Waxing Expert - Islington London N1

 

A background in the luxury spa industry and a passion for innovation and discovery are the main factors which brought me to where I am today. With a thriving studio for men and a growing list of products and therapies, I have an overwhelming desire to provide for the needs of men in a world which was previously that of women only.

The fact is that men deserve to pamper themselves, look their best and feel the energy, creativity and confidence which comes from being well groomed. From my early days as a massage therapist and during my four years working in Crete at one of the top luxury spa's in the world, I knew that providing a similar experience for men only was where my true passions were. I decided that focusing primarily on male waxing was going to be my niche.

Building on my training with the ubiquitous Kim Lawless, I was able to use her unique male intimate waxing technique which works specifically for men and their needs. My expertise in male Brazilian waxing and  intimate waxing for men has set me apart from my peers. More specifically, I am an ambassador for Perron Rigot and I only use non-strip waxing methods with Perron Rigot, the best waxes on offer – this means less pain and a better outcome.  The other male grooming therapies I have on offer along with my colleagues at my Islington studio include massage, body scrubs and Manscaping (body hair trimming).

As someone with a true passion for my craft, I have also developed a range of wash cloths designed to exfoliate the body following wax treatments. These cloths can be found at www.abitofrough.com. This product compliments my main business and is hopefully just the start of the products I will have on offer in time.

I believe that men deserve the same access to spa treatments that women have been enjoying for many years. I provide the same luxury feel with attention to detail and an environment where men feel comfortable regardless of the treatment they are receiving. It is my mission to encourage today's men to look after their looks with a range of male grooming treatments and for this to become as much a part of their body routine as going to the gym.

Interesting Facts about Dead Sea Salt

The Dead Sea has a long and amazing history. In fact, this body of water has been around for about three million years. That is a long time for many minerals and other potent, health inducing ingredients to become a part of this water. Learning more about the benefits of Dead Sea salt is important and allows you greater chances of being healthier and younger looking.

Salts for bathing are sold all around the world. Making the right choices for a brand is essential to you getting the real benefits of this famous sea. Many brands are no more than table salt and produce no benefits. Learning more about the source of your salts is necessary for gaining its benefits. Bear in mind that Dead Sea salt is bitterer than regular table salt.

The mineral content in real sea salts provides many benefits, especially when it comes to looking younger. In fact, in ancient times, Cleopatra took special interest in the area surrounding this body of water. She had cosmetic factories built along the shores to make sure the ingredients being used were from the real water. Millions of people have visited this water for soaking and retaining the minerals through the pores of the skin.

One mineral that helps improve the skin you will find in this famous body of water is magnesium. Magnesium increases the time it takes for skin tissue to heal. The surface of the skin is provided with anti allergic elements as well from magnesium. The process of cell metabolism is also related to magnesium. The younger healthy skin you want is easier to have when you provide the right ingredients for it to function properly.

Potassium and bromide are two more minerals your skin requires to be its best. Bromide works to relax muscular tissue and calms down nerves while potassium is responsible for the fine balance of moisture being maintained in the skin cell structure. Potassium is the reason too much water is not retained in the cells as well. The nutrients the cells in your body require are essential and cells must have a constant level of moisture to maintain healthy functioning, allowing nutrient absorption to be the greatest.

You have most likely heard about the benefits of calcium. You should know that calcium is also required for cell membranes to have strength and durability. The cells in your body must have protective shells to resist disease and other issues that could affect them. Taking care of your skin with salts will promote the absorption of calcium. Your teeth and bones will also benefit greatly from this type of calcium absorption as well.

Several body functions depend on a healthy functioning thyroid gland. Your thyroid gland needs iodine in order to function in the healthiest manner. Choosing the right salts means you getting enough iodine for proper functioning to take place. You can also add iodine to your diet for increased benefits. The amount of sodium you need is necessary for nutrient retention in the cells.

Zinc and sulphur are more minerals that offer great benefits for your body. These minerals are also found in high content in the Dead Sea. Zinc protects the skin and provides an incredible boost for the immune system as well. Cell proliferation occurs properly when your body has the right levels of zinc. Sulphur helps your liver function properly in dispelling toxins from your system.

Relief for some conditions has been found by soaking in this body of water. Sufferers of arthritis should certainly consider the benefits of hot salts baths for pain relief.

How to treat ingrown hairs after waxing

For most of us we have at some point had an ingrown hair and unfortunately some people can suffer really badly with these.   An ingrown hair is when the new hair curls back on itself and starts to grow  back into the hair follicle, or a hair that does not grow out of the hair follicle and actually remains embedded in the skin.

Ingrown hairs can affect most areas; the face, neck, legs, intimate areas or in fact any part of the body.

In most situations they are usually just a minor irritation on the skin, but if they are left untreated they can be very painful or unsightly. More importantly if they are not dealt with then they can become infected.

Unfortunately, while ingrown hair is more common with people having thick, curly hair, almost everybody will get one at some point and if you shave regularly, you may have to deal with ingrown hairs and razor bump quite frequently. 

Some clients who wax can also experience ingrown hairs and it is important to treat these properly and do as much as you can to prevent them. Often areas like the chest and pubic areas can be more prone to ingrown hairs if aftercare guidelines are not followed correctly. 

There are several ways that you can treat ingrown hairs and if you suffer with these one if these methods may help to treat the ingrown hairs.

1. Gentle exfoliation – Gently really is the name of the game here. I recommend that you use either a gentle exfoliation cream or a scrub product directly on the skin, or you can use an exfoliating wash cloth or a pair of mitts with an anti bacterial skin wash. I do find a loofah too rough on the skin. Exfoliate twice a day in the shower and if you are exfoliating gently enough you should be able to just “nudge “the hair so that it can release itself. Be careful not to exfoliate too roughly as you don’t want to break and cut the skin as this will cause scabs to form and this will make it really difficult then for the hair to get through the skin.  I find that the Bit of Rough exfoliating washcloth is perfect as its gentle on the skin but just rough enough to left the dead skin cells.

 

2. Applying an ingrown hair product -There are many products available on the market for the treatment of ingrown hairs and if you research on the internet you can see which ones are available and often read reviews for these. Also most therapists who offer waxing will often retail or recommend a product that can be used for the treatment of ingrown hairs. Products containing Salicylic acid are often the best and can be applied to the skin a few times a day for the recommended period; also the Salicylic acid will soothe the inflammation.  If you combine this with gentle exfoliation and keeping the skin as clean as possible then should help to remove the ingrown hairs. Some clients have found that the application of Magnesium Sulphate and left overnight has also helped to lift the hair out of the skin.

 

3. Teasing out the hair – If you managed to get the ingrown hair to the surface then you should be able to get it out. Take a warm flannel or some cotton pads with hot water and press them on the skin and the heat will gently soften the skin. You will need to do this several times and apply the compress with hot water. This will bring the hair to the surface and now you should be able to actually tease the hair out of the skin. Use a pair of clean sterile tweezers that will lift the hair. Take care that you don’t break the skin and remove the hair with the tweezers in the direction of growth taking care not to snap or cut the hair. Keep the skin clean and a little medicated cream applied to the area will soothe and treat the skin surrounding the hair.

With all these things prevention is so much better than cure , so follow the waxing aftercare guidelines and for most people this help to avoid ingrown hairs from developing.
