Grooming tips for men

 
 
1. Protect and Pamper Your Skin

The best way to prevent wrinkles and skin cancer is to protect your skin from sun damage by using a daily moisturizer with sunscreen. A good daily skin care routine includes cleansing, followed by a gentle facial exfoliate scrub, which also enhances shaving ease and comfort with moisturiser containing sunscreen for the day and at night a moisturiser with AHAs to encourage skin regeneration.

2. Pay Attention to Hands and Feet

Don’t forget to include your hands and feet in your grooming routine. Well-manicured nails and toes contribute to good hygiene and grooming habits. Make time to clip and file your nails at home. Foot odour is a common problem among many men, and is relatively easy to treat. Scrub your feet daily and dry them completely. Insert a pair of Odor-Eaters Insoles into your shoes, which will absorb wetness and odor.

3. Quick Grooming Tips

• If you don't iron your clothes, remove them immediately from the dryer so wrinkles don't set.

• In hot weather, wear light-coloured, cotton clothing and socks. This will absorb less heat and "sweat stains" will be less visible.

• Consider trimming your arm pit hairs in warm weather. Less hairs, less bacteria, less smell. Think about it.

• Don't be reluctant to trim or tweeze any stray eyebrow hairs.

• Good dental hygiene means a dazzling smile.

4. Extend the Life of Your Razor Blades

All you need is a bottle of mineral oil and some rubbing alcohol. After shaving, thoroughly clean and dry your razor blades and then completely immerse the razor head in a shallow dish filled with mineral oil. Use the rubbing alcohol to wash away the oil next time you need to use the razor. By immersing the blades in oil, you stop the oxidization process that dulls their sharp edges. A daily mineral oil soak can double or even triple the life of your cartridges.
