Mens Shaving Tips
Shaving should be a simple morning ritual that leaves you feeling refreshed. A good shave should take about 15 minutes. For best results I would recommend using high quality shaving products. If you are one of those guys who likes a little facial hair or even a full on beard it is important to remember to keep it trimmed. Lets face it no mater how nice your suit is if you look like you have a dead squirrel on your face people will not respect you. Here are a few tips on shaving to help you along the way. For best results shave immediately after exiting the shower, however when you are in the shower, make sure to cleanse and/or exfoliate your face to remove dirt and debris. After your shower is done, thoroughly wet your face with warm water. As the steam and water will soften up your facial hair. Next massage a shave cream or oil into your facial hair. For best results use a shaving brush. Give your shave product(s) about 30 seconds to soak in the sink. After that use a clean, multi-bladed razor, and begin shaving with the grain of hair growth (usually downward). Use short strokes, and remember to rinse the blade often.Shave your cheeks first and leave the neck, chin and upper lip for last. This allows the tuff areas more time to soften up. It is a good idea to use your free hand to stretch your skin, which creates a smooth surface for the razor. Then rinse your face with cool water and pat your face dry with a soft towel. Finally you should apply a balm or moisturizing aftershave. Steer clear of any aftershave containing alcohol, which will dry your skin and make you look older. Try to avoid touching your face for a few hours after shaving, because the pores are open and may fall prey to any bacteria your hands might have on them.
Mens Hair Tips
A good clean hair cut is important to a man's image. It is okay for hair to be longer as long as it is maintained and styled well. Also if you suffer from dandruff get yourself some medicated shampoo to treat it before you put on your nice black suit or tuxedo. No matter how nice you look in the suit if it looks like you walked through a snow storm on your shoulders because of dandruff people will not take you seriously.
Other Mens Grooming Tips
Remember to clip and clean you finger nails regularly. Check for any long nose or ear hairs and trim or pluck the area when needed. Shower frequently and don't be afraid to use a little cologne from time to time.
