Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming and encouraging your greatest asset.” Hopkins knows that good looks sell, and there’s no shame in getting pampered once in a while. For times when self-grooming won’t cut it, try these treatments for men from some of the best spas Jakarta and Bali have to offer.

Along with a plant extract named Escutox, caviar is able to rejuvenate skin and even promote anti-aging. Specially formulated for men, the treatment also includes a hand and scalp massage. (Jl.
