My partner is spa-ing with me for the first time. What treatments should he book?
The days when the closest men got to cleansing treatments outside the home was showering after a session at the gym are happily over. Now men can enjoy it all. On their first visit, many men are only brave enough to visit the gym and the pool, but may be too shy to book any spa treatments.
However, there are many treatments especially devised for men, and many spas now produce separate promotional information just for him. Eventually, his curiosity will get the better of him, and then you won't be able to keep him away.
And guys, remember that shaving is not recommended immediately before any waxing treatments or other hair removal services. You might get more out of your facial if you have a shave the day before, so your stubble won't interfere with your pores. If you do shave on the day of your facial, be sure to do so at least six to eight hours before your appointment. Some of the lotions used can be deliciously abrasive, and if your skin is prone to sensitivity after shaving, it may not forgive you.
