Male waxing is becoming more and more common. It is no longer just for women, and there is a wide range of options.
Is waxing right for me?
If you have decided to start removing body hair, you may be considering waxing and have some doubts about it, especially because of all the myths surrounding the subject.
Is it true that it hurts?
We’re sorry to say yes, but don’t worry: it’s nothing terrible.
When the wax is pulled off to remove the hair, you feel a sharp tug.
Luckily it only lasts a few seconds, so it’s just a matter of breathing through it.
The good news is that, session after session, the hair becomes weaker and you will be more relaxed, so you will feel less and less pain.
Results that last for weeks
Male waxing is one of the techniques with the best results.
Unlike shaving or machine hair removal, wax removes the hair from the root.
This delays regrowth by three to five weeks, until the hair reaches the minimum length to be waxed again.
So you will enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for quite a few days.
Skin care before waxing
Before waxing, you need to do a quick and simple preparation.
Come to your appointment with the area to be waxed clean and free of creams or perfumes.
At our beauty centre in Barcelona we have a space where you can freshen up before your waxing.
We also recommend exfoliating beforehand to remove any dead skin that could make the process more difficult.
Every skin reacts differently to treatments. If you have never been waxed, we recommend starting with a test area such as an ankle to see how your skin reacts to the wax.
Skin care after male waxing
It is normal for your skin to feel irritated or red after the session. You can speed up recovery with a cooling gel or a moisturising cream with aloe vera or rosehip.
It is important to look after hygiene in the days after the session to avoid bacterial infections.
At Aurum Wellbeing we apply tea tree oil, which not only feels refreshing but is also a great natural antibacterial.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
