To all those people who think the same, nowadays grooming holds as much importance for men as it does for women. Let’s say you are the best-dressed man in the room, but if you have a bad body odor, or your hair is not groomed, or your hands are oily, how would you get through the vital job interview?
Perhaps, this is where you need to spruce yourself up to bring yourself in the limelight and look your best.
Don’t worry this article will help you achieve the perfect looks.
Here are some of the grooming essentials that you will need to be the best version of yourself.
SPF is necessary – Men need to get serious with their skin care regime and use sunscreen regularly. It is significant to note that men are more likely to get skin cancer in comparison to women, especially lighter-colored men. And the regular use of sunscreen reduces this risk by up to an astonishing 50%. Moreover, it helps in getting rid of weathered skin and wrinkles.
Besides, applying sunscreen can also help fight pollution. So, before heading out of the house make sure you apply a thin coat of sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 30. Furthermore, you should also make this a habit in winters and even rainy seasons. Note that UV rays can also penetrate through clouds.
Face cleansing – If you’ve been using regular soap bars to clean your face, you should stop right now. To your surprise, bar soap can cause more harm than good. It strips away the natural oils from your face that can lead to dryness or irritation or even premature aging.
Instead, go with a face cleanser to look more radiant. Face cleansers are softer on the face and gently remove dirt and debris, making healthier skin care for men without any side effects. After cleaning, make sure you dry your face with a clean towel and apply ample moisturizer. A layer of moisturizer can lock the moisture and natural oils into your skin.
Get creative with your trimmer – Most of the guys opt for a single trimming guard for their entire face when trimming their beards. They don’t put much focus on beard styling and overlook the detailing options in the trimmers. If you have a trimmer with detailing options, get creative with it. Check its widths and lengths that can add contrast to the sides or mustache.
Additionally, get a high-quality razor so that you can have a smooth and neat look. This will also avoid razor cuts and burns.
Buy a new toothbrush every three months – American Dental Association recommends changing toothbrush every three months. The reason being the bristles of the toothbrush are not effective after this time.
Additionally, you can also rub lemon juice on the teeth to prevent teeth staining. If you have issues with your breath, we recommend consulting with a dentist. They can provide you with some medication or a mouth spray to get rid of bad breath.
A dermatologist can help you – Do you think that dermatologists are available only to cure your moles or eczema? If you think so, then you might need to change your notion. The reason being – there are many concerns related to the skin that need your regular notice. For instance – Acne, signs of aging, or screening for skin cancer.
So, to get early warning signs of any problem related to the skin or to ensure that your skin is in a healthy condition, do not ignore visiting the dermatologist at regular intervals. They are undoubtedly the therapist for your skin.
Scents create magic – Every person has his own scent. It is great if you have an excellent signature scent. But there are few scents that you should keep in mind that work well with all occasions, like citrus scents, rose scents, etc. Have a portion of perfumes in your personal cologne library to spread the magic of scents.
If you usually face the situation of bad body odor, then try using aluminum-free deodorant. You can also try wearing loose clothes as tight clothing usually leads to more sweat that further results in bad body odor. Investing in cotton undervests/natural fibers is also a good option here.
Hair Care – Soft, shiny, and silky hair is the dream of many individuals. And you can’t neglect hair care. What can you do here? Go to a hair spa at least once a month. If you shampoo your hair with warm water, then be aware as hot water can cause dry hair. Thus, always wash your hair with lukewarm water.
Do not use gel daily because some gels have silicon content in it which makes the hair look oily or dull. Rather than gel, you can go with the high-end hair mousse.
Condition more – Want to have “good hair days” daily? The short and simple trick is to condition more and shampoo less. Doing shampoo daily may leave your hair dry and prone to breakage. So, what is the right thing to do here? The answer is conditioning.
Using a conditioner conditions the hair follicles and makes your hair smooth and shiny. It also prevents split ends and hair loss.
To sum it all up
It is needless to say that these grooming tips for men are enough to boost confidence in you. And you can never go wrong with these grooming essentials. So, never ever neglect grooming because you are a man as it is important for everyone.
At last, somebody has rightly said, “Because when it comes to being a ‘man’s man’, grooming plays a significant role.”
