Male Grooming Tips

Male grooming is certainly becoming more popular as the years pass. Not only are modern men wanting to look better, but society is actually expecting this from guys. The truth is looking your best makes you more confident, more attractive to others, and more successful in life. Is this really surprising? Nope!

In order to look your best, you may need a few male grooming tips or some advice on men's skincare and shaving. No worries! I created this post to provide guys with some simple steps for daily grooming. So here it goes:

1) Find a good facial cleanser to use both morning and night. There are plenty of face washes available for men, and you don't even have to spend much money. Avoid bar soaps that leave the delicate facial skin dry, tight, and irritated. Harsh body soaps lead to problems such as acne breakouts, flaky skin, redness, and even wrinkles. Yikes!

2) Apply a daily sunscreen each morning before heading outdoors. It's best to choose a sunscreen or moisturizer with sunscreen that provides an SPF of 20 or greater. After all, you are unlikely to apply this skincare product again at work or while out in public. Naturally if you are headed to the beach for a day of fun in the sun, you should bring a sweat-proof, waterproof sunscreen with you.

3) Find a good nighttime moisturizer. Two of the most effective ingredients for anti-aging are Retinol (Vitamin A) and Glycolic Acid (an alpha hydroxy acid taken from sugar cane). Retinol helps with resurfacing the skin and penetrates deeply to correct past damage. Glycolic Acid breaks apart the glue that holds dead surface cells together, and essentially exfoliates the top layers of dead skin. Both ingredients help with anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, age spots, acne blemishes, and sun damage.

4) Always use a sharp razor. This is a common mistake that many guys make. Dull razorblades lead to irritation, razor bumps, drag, and redness. The reality is cartridge razors are only good for about 5 shaves. If you want to extend the life of your cartridge razor, try the RazorPit.

5) Probably the most important of all male grooming tips is daily flossing. According to my dental hygienist, most people still don't floss. This is NOT GOOD. Daily flossing not only keeps your gums healthy, it prevents bad breath. Plaque build-up in the gum line is a serious no no, and it does lead to gingivitis. If you have ever chatted with someone and thought their breath was unbelievably bad, trust me, they don't floss, and that is why it smells so horrendous.

I hope these simple male grooming tips help you look and feel your best. And remember, you don't have to spend much in order to look AWESOME. There are male grooming products out there to suit all budgets and preferences.
