Skincare

If you're considering body grooming, you probably both care about how you look and appreciate the sensuous qualities of your skin. If you really want to pamper yourself - and look and feel great - we recommend the following:

  • One to two days before your first sugaring treatment, come in for Skin Conditioning 101. We get rid of any flaky, sun damaged or dehydrated skin. We also soothe and care for sensitive skin and areas where you might have eczema or psoriasis. And the way we do it will make you glow:
    • You get rubbed - and exfoliated - all over with a mixture of Dead Sea Salt, Jojoba oil and warm water. The salt goes to work immediately to heal dry and damaged skin.
    • Your entire body is encased in Hungarian Apothecary Mud, which purifies, calms and nourishes your skin. In most of Europe, you need a prescription to get this stuff. It's that good!
    • After the mud has dried, you rinse it off in a warm shower.
    • You get back on the massage table and are anointed with a hypoallergenic moisturizer.


    Your skin is now really ready for the sugaring treatment.

  • You have your first sugaring/body grooming treatment as described on www.mensbodygrooming.com.

  • Take care of your skin. We offer a number of top-quality products not readily available elsewhere (or on TV) to help you do this:
    • Linen bath mitt - to help you exfoliate on a daily basis (be gentle).
    • Prince Reigns, an aloe-based gel product - to help keep dead skin cells from accumulating and to train body hair to grow out straight (so it comes off easier next time).
    • Hungarian Apothecary Mud kit - to guard against ingown hair and sensitivity. (It won't feel quite as good as when Greg does it, but it will still feel terrific.)
    • Acca Kappa White Moss Hydrating Body Emulsion - to soothe and moisturize.

  • Come back for a second treatment in about 3 - 4 weeks (about the same interval you have between regular haircuts; but don't wait longer, or we have to start all over again). Most men find the results are permanent in about 4 months (6 sugaring treatments).

Sound like a lot of work? Well, looking good takes some time and effort. At least you're not doing most of the work. Seem expensive? As the old hair color commercial used to say, you're worth it!

Commit to looking good today (and tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that…)!
