gression over aggression is the foundation of our approach to chemical peels. Real results don’t come from destroying the skin barrier or forcing visible peeling—they come from the right custom peel, consistent treatments, and proper homecare. Just because you don’t peel does not mean the peel didn’t work. Our goal is healthy, resilient skin that improves over time, not short-term shock with long-term damage.

Welcome to Man Care Monday—your weekly spot for tips, tricks, and insights on male skincare and waxing. Every Monday, we’ll share practical advice to help men feel confident, look sharp, and take control of their skin health.

Why Skincare Matters for Men

Taking care of your skin isn’t just about looking good—it’s about health, confidence, and long-term maintenance. Men’s skin is different from women’s: it’s generally thicker, oilier, and more prone to irritation from shaving and environmental stressors. Proper care can help:

• Prevent ingrown hairs – especially if you shave or wax regularly

• Reduce acne and irritation – keeping your skin smooth and clear

• Slow signs of aging – healthy skin ages better

• Boost confidence – feeling good in your skin is a daily win

Waxing & Grooming: More Than Aesthetic

Waxing isn’t just cosmetic. Regular waxing can:

• Promote smoother skin

• Reduce irritation and ingrown hairs compared to shaving

• Help maintain hygiene and comfort, particularly in warmer months

• Make daily grooming faster and easier

Here’s what you can expect every week:

1. Skincare routines for men – from cleansing to moisturizing

Join the Movement

Man Care Monday is more than a tip—it’s a reminder that male grooming is self-care, not vanity. By dedicating a few minutes each week to your skin and grooming, you invest in confidence, comfort, and long-term health.

Stay tuned every Monday for your latest tips, tricks, and expert advice. Your skin will thank you.

The PINKINI Collection by LYCON is a game changer in intimate waxing, offering a gentle yet powerful Brazilian Hybrid Hot Wax that removes hair as short as 1mm with minimal discomfort—even on sensitive skin. Paired with PINKINI’s Pre and Post Waxing Lotions, it creates a soothing, virtually painless experience. We use the full line in our signature vajacials and manjacials.

Say goodbye to ingrowns and post-wax irritation—salicylic acid is the secret weapon your skin has been waiting for. This anti-inflammatory all-star helps calm, clear, and smooth your skin after waxing, and it's the hero ingredient in our favorite post-care products like Ingrown X-It wipes, foaming wash, and spray. Trust us—your skin will thank you!

What’s a ‘Jacial? Let’s Talk Manjacials & Vajacials!

If you’ve ever wondered what a “jacial” is, you’re not alone — and we’re here to break it down. A ‘jacial (short for vajacial or manjacial) is exactly what it sounds like: a facial for your pubic mound. And yes, it’s just as amazing as it sounds.

This treatment is perfect after a Brazilian or Manzilian wax, designed to treat the delicate skin in your intimate area with care, calm, and rejuvenation. It’s all about reducing bumps, soothing irritation, and leaving you feeling ultra-smooth and confident.

If you’ve ever noticed dark spots or patches on your skin after a breakout, rash, or ingrown hair, you’ve experienced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

PIH is the darkening of the skin that occurs after inflammation or trauma. It often shows up as flat brown, red, or purple spots that remain long after the original issue has healed. You might hear them called "sun spots," "dark marks," or simply "spots" — but whatever the name, the cause is the same: your skin’s response to irritation.

Maintain a healthy and comfortable intimate area with PINKINI Intimate Wash, a gentle cleansing gel formulated specifically for delicate skin.

This pH-balanced formula provides a luxurious lather that cleanses effectively while leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable.

“Do men really wax?”
YES — they do! In fact, 46% of men (across all ages, ethnicities, and income levels) get waxed, and 69% manscape or shave. Male waxing is not just a thing — it’s normal, it’s growing, and it’s welcome here.

✨ At The Cat House, we’re obsessed with CBD—and for good reason! ✨

CBD is a powerhouse ingredient that’s packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. We use a premium CBD serum during our waxing services to help calm inflammation and make your experience more comfortable. 💆‍♀️💚

Say Goodbye to Ingrown Hairs: Causes, Prevention & Our Favorite Solutions

If you’ve ever dealt with the redness, irritation, or bumps caused by an ingrown hair, you know just how uncomfortable (and stubborn) they can be. Ingrown hairs—medically known as pseudofolliculitis—occur when a hair curls back into the skin instead of growing outward. This leads to inflammation, redness, and sometimes pus-filled bumps.

The Long-Term Benefits of Syncing

Once your hair cycle is synced, the magic really starts to happen:

• Less Painful Waxes – Hair comes out easier and with less resistance.

• Finer Regrowth – Repeated waxing weakens the hair follicles over time.

• Longer Time Between Appointments – Because your regrowth is slower and more uniform, you can go longer without needing a touch-up.

• Quicker Appointments – With less hair and finer texture, waxing sessions are more efficient.

I am so excited—after a year away, I’ve missed you all so much! 💕 As summer gets closer, it’s time to get back on track with your waxing and skincare. Remember: staying consistent with your hair cycle means cleaner, faster, and less painful waxes that last even longer between appointments!
