As many women will confirm, when it comes to getting rid of unwanted body hair, waxing is a popular option. But the benefits of waxing aren’t reserved for the female of the species, men who wish to rid themselves of their body hair will also find waxing to be most advantageo­us. Waxing benefits men by: Improving muscle definition, Preventing razor burn Replacing hard stubble

In general, waxing lasts longer because it pulls hair out from the roots, delivering a smoother result with no nasty cuts or nicks, and is less of an irritant to skin when compared to shaving, hair removal cremes or electrolys­is. When opting for wax, it is important to understand that there are two primary types - Hard and Soft wax, and there are some definite distinctio­ns between the two. Soft wax is applied with a waxing spatula before being removed with a muslin strip. Soft wax works well on large areas making it more economical though it tends to leave the skin sticky to the touch. Unlike hard wax, soft wax cannot be applied to the same spot twice because it removes layers of dead skin.

Hard wax is thicker than soft wax and is applied warm with a spatula. Once the wax hardens it is removed without the use of a strip, hence it is also known as stripless wax. Can be reapplied, and is best for sensitive areas like underarms and bikini lines.

Our profession­ally trained wax therapists at BREATHE offer you a smooth and easy waxing experience. Our waxing services for men include full and half arms and legs, chest, back and underarms. At BREATHE we never double dip! This means that we don’t put the wooden waxing spatula back into the pot of wax or use the same pot and spatula on multiple clients. As always, you can trust that our commitment to hygiene is paramount. We also use a pre wax skin cleanser that gently prepares the skin for waxing, and a post wax massage lotion that removes any trace of wax while calming and soothing the skin. For an experience like no other, visit BREATHE at 10 Cambridge Terrace, Colombo 7. We are open 7 days a week from 9am to 8pm, with the exception of Public Holidays.
