Back then, women took a lot more pride in
their appearance than men. Women care so
much about their looks; their skin, hair, nails and even the way they dress. If
a man goes after all these, people around him will take him to be someone who
isn’t serious or he is the only male in the midst of female siblings. Back then,
some men could go out without combing their hair, without looking neat or
attractive. What men did for their beauty routine back then was to have a quick
shower and shave, a dash of aftershave and a spray of deodorant, brush their
hair and they are good to go. But today, a man is expected to look like his
looks are not an afterthought. Male grooming these days is on a par with the
female grooming routine, because they are taking a lot of pride in their
appearance and also want to look great when they go out to the public. There
are many new products that aim at making a man’s skin look smooth and glowing,
from well-manicured nails to a cream that also removes excessive hair and also
doesn’t make them to have bumps after shaving.
If you haven't caught up with the times in
terms of grooming, read on to discover what you may have overlooked.
Look After Your
Eyes
One of the first things people notice about you is your eyes. They check
to see if they are as white as snow or red as blood. Having eye-bags indicates
sign of aging, stress or lack of sleep. To avoid dark circles and bags around
your eyes, try using a hydrating eye cream. Just a dab a day will do you. And
always make sure you sleep a minimum of 8 hours a night so that you don’t wake
up looking like a zombie.
Shaving Tips
A lot of ladies love men looking good without having
hairs all over. Even if you want to keep hair on your jaw, make sure it is well
trimmed. Or better still, just shave all and when you are about to shave use a
cream that will prevent bumps from appearing on your face. You will surely look
the attention you will get from ladies.
Manicures for Men
Manicured nails look great on anyone. When
you have got black stuff under your nails, people will wonder where your hand
have been and will just conclude you are an unkempt man. You don’t have to break
the bank to get a manicure; ask a lady friend or even your sister for help. To
enhance your well-manicured nails, a spot of clear nail polish or varnish will
make them look even cleaner.
Exfoliate
If you really want your skin to look as beautiful as it did when you
were a boy, you are going to need to exfoliate. When you exfoliate, you are
essentially eliminating dead skin cells from the surface. And who wouldn’t want
to do that? Exfoliating you skin daily will also prevent black heads, acne, and ingrown hairs from
appearing. There are good facial and body scrubs that will help. Just go to the
market and get one for yourself. Using a good sunscreen will also protect your
skin from the sun.
Eat
Well
This is one of
the most important beauty tips for men. Yes, you are what you eat. Men like
hanging out to have fun with friends and will probably end up drinking, smoking
eating some junk food. You might think
it is all fun, but as you are getting older it will catch up with you. Your
diet affects your skin hugely.
Junk food and alcohol are responsible for toxins that create blemishes, spots,
boils, dry skin, wrinkles and so much more. Once you start eating the right
things and drinking lots of water, your skin will start to look as smooth as a
baby’s. Eat vegetables and fruits and you will definitely look younger than
your age.
Moisturize
Having a dry, dull
and flaky skin can be embarrassing. Some men don’t like to moisturize because
they feel it is only women that go the extra mile to care for their skin. Why suffer with itchy and unattractive skin for so long when you don’t
have to? There are good and nice creams that will bring the shine to your skin.
All you have to do is get it and use it at least twice a day after your bath.
Hair Care for Men
Regardless of your hair type, it is important
to use a shampoo that is gentle on your hair. Using herbal soap or ingredients
such as vitamin E is great for naturally strengthening and conditioning the
hair follicles. Make sure that you read the labels before using a shampoo
because some of them may contain ingredients that might not be suitable for
your hair. Also, use a conditioner that
will maintain the well-being of your hair and stop it from drying out. There
are fruits that are good in making your hair look healthy, soft and silky; make
sure you eat them. Make sure you also
have a good hair cut that will make you look presentable.
Look After Your Lips
This beauty routine is important for everybody. Chapped lips will make
you look like someone who is sick. If you want to slow down your lips aging
process, make sure you scrub it. You can use sugar mixed with honey or olive
oil to scrub, or while you are brushing your teeth you scrub your lips with
your toothbrush. Do it in a gentle way so that you don’t end up getting
bruised. Applying lip balm will also
keep your lips from getting dried, and look hydrated; plus drink a lot of water
too.
Teeth
Whitening
No matter how you clean
your teeth some flaws are bound to be seen. Our teeth get stained from so many
things, such as taking coffee, smoking, drinking and eating chocolates or
sweets. There are many different ways to whiten your teeth, but the cheapest
option is to use whitening toothpaste: although it might take a little longer
than other methods, it will give you a brighter smile. Always adhere to the
rules of brushing twice a day, that is morning and night and also visit a
dentist once every month.
Fresh Breath
Having whiter teeth doesn't always mean that
you have fresh breath. You can add a good mouthwash to your beauty routine. Mouthwash
has the advantage of getting to the parts of your mouth and teeth where the
brush cannot reach. Regular use of mouthwash leaves your breath fresh and mouth
cleaner. You will not want people to have a look on their faces because of your
foul breath, do you?
Men's Clothing
Whether you are going out to a formal or
casual event, make sure that you wear a neat and well ironed cloth. Cleanliness
is next to godliness they say; if you have worked on all of the other care tips
above, you could spoil it all by having poorly washed or pressed clothes. And
don't forget the shoes too, which should be well cared for and polished. If you
wear a clean and ironed cloth and end up wearing shoes covered with mud or half
torn, that will bring a bad image to your personality.
Have Fun!
You look good, you feel good, and you are
oozing confidence. All that is left is to enjoy all the attention you will get
when you do all these beauty routines.
