just a little male brazilian waxing love

This was one of the funniest articles I had to write for DiscoverSD.com. No introduction necessary.

As uncomfortable and awkward bikini waxes and Brazilians can be, every three to six weeks, us brave women venture to neighboring waxing studio to prime our lady parts for the season. While I’ve given you a long list of places to try out for your next wax, isn’t it time we pay a little attention to the men in our lives and their desperate need for some manscaping? And we’re not talking about a brow or chest wax.

Barbara Galagusz, owner of Skin Trade spa in Encinitas specializes in the male Brazilian wax and offers some tips for virgin males looking into their first treatment.

After all, it’s only fair to reciprocate, right men?

Skin Trade is a private environment offering skin care and full body waxing for men and women. Galagusz is a licensed esthetician and a registered nurse and has a passion for skincare. While she offers facials and chemical peels, her expertise is in male waxing services. Men, listen up: your first waxing will hurt, but not as bad as you may imagine. It’s a quick pain and since your hair and skin is not used to the procedure, it may feel like your skin is being ripped off.

Rest assured, it will be worth it. Take Ibuprofen before your session or apply a “No Scream Cream,” which contains an anesthetic. Some side effects are small bruises or little drops of blood from the pores where the hair is pulled. You’ll want to wax every three to four weeks and hair will become finer and less coarse. Don’t shave between sessions either, as it will counteract the hair growth.

If the procedure wasn’t mortifying enough, Galagusz says some guys get an erection during the procedure. It’s an adrenal response, not a sexual one, so no worries there. And if that wasn’t enough information about finally giving in and getting your first Brazilian, some even say they look bigger when they’re waxed!

Man up and sit through the 15 minutes of pain. I promise, you and your lady friend will enjoy it. Skin Trade in Encinitas
