Having his hands and feet soaked, wrapped and massaged in a spa that evening, Yanuar Yahya looked very relaxed. For the 20-year-old, pampering himself with manicures and pedicures — once considered “women only” territory — is nothing new at all. He’s been enjoying the monthly ritual for the past year.
That’s right, ladies. Don’t be surprised if one day a man sits down next to you during your “mani-pedi” session at the salon. These days, men agree with what women have been saying for years: It’s important to take care of yourself.
And Yanuar is ready to testify to it.
“Actually, it’s not only about making my hands and feet look good or anything,” Yanuar says. “Rather, mani-pedi for me is relaxing and stress relieving. It makes me feel good.”
Well, why not? Who doesn’t want to feel — and look — good? These days, men too want to have great-looking skin and overall appearance. Gone are the days where men just lathered themselves with a bar of soap and went out to face the day.
Today, there’s more to a beauty treatment for men than just a shower and a shave.
