Men should take advantage of spa treatments to keep themselves in tip top shape, no matter what walk of life they hail from. All men's skin takes a beating, according to Philadelphia Style- from shaving, sun and sweating, men need more help than they realize. Call it pampering, staving off the aging process, or simple groom basics. Here is a list of spa procedures you can, and should, incorporate into your life.
Facial: This is recommended for each season, so quarterly. A facial can bring your skin back to life and actually make it glow. Getting a deep cleanse, exfoliating and extracting treatment involved in a facial helps you put your best face forward. Try it once and see what the results are. Listen to the friends and co-workers telling you how much younger you look. You will be hooked on this treatment.
Waxing: It's not just for unibrows and ear hair, although if you have those, waxing is a must, no question. It takes between two and eight weeks for hair to grow back, depended on the person and the place of the hair. Shaving this hair daily doesn't makes sense. Besides the aforementioned must do areas, nose hair is very popular and suitable for waxing as well, as is back hair, neck hair, eyebrows and chest. This treatment is something you can custom just for you. Start small and work on more as you see how simplified your shaving routine gets when waxing is done.
Manicure: Not the same as a woman's treatment, a man's manicure keeps your hands neat and tidy. Your manicure will include clipping, filing and shaping your nails, cleaning up your cuticles, moisturizing your hands and a hand massage. When done, you will have nice, clean, professional hands- not girlie ones, but manly ones without hang nails and rough spots. For men, this is either the first or second thing people notice about you. Put your best foot, or hand, forward and make your hands look good.
Pedicure: This luxurious treatment is a manicure for your feet, according to the Grooming Lounge, but more in-depth, as feet take a beating. Woman love this procedure, and you will, too. Cleaning up your nails with the same trim is important, but the pumice stone taken to those sand paper heals, moisturizing and extended foot massage will relax even the most tense of men. This is great for all men, especially ready for summer flip flop wearers or beach goers. Pedicures also stave off any potential infections and ingrown toe nails, keeping your feet shapely and presentable even after the daily pounding they incur.
Massage: We all love a massage, and they are even better when done by a professional. A massage is the perfect pampering to help you relax, destress and loosen the muscles. Try a few of the different treatments for added benefits: hot stone, Swedish, deep tissue, the pampering of this treatment. Athletes have long been getting massages to work on muscle soreness and help them loosen up. Aren't we all athletes in our day to day lives? This procedure is recommended as often as needed, but at least six times a year will keep you loose and feeling good.
