I think women will agree that there’s nothing hotter than a man with a great sense of style. A man that takes the time out to trim his nose hair, brush his teeth properly, keep his nails clean and care for his overall well-being is attractive and easy to like.
Because I was on the hunt for a great birthday gift for my husband, I came across countless grooming tips for men, and found numerous products designed to suit a man’s needs. I realized men have similar concerns when it comes to their looks.
Skin
Men are prone to crow’s feet, lines and sunspots, just like us girls. The best way to control and defer this is to have an effective skin regimen. Even if boys don’t wear make up, washing your face daily—once in the morning and once before you sleep—is essential.
Apply a moisturizer before you sleep. Try the toning Super Moisture Balm by Clarins Men. Before you start your day, dab a bit of sunscreen to protect your face from the sun’s harmful rays. Try Kiehl’s Facial Fuel SPF 15 which is an energizing moisture treatment for men. This cream is designed to invigorate and protect your skin at the same time.
Fragrance
Generally speaking, most women find a great smelling man attractive. Guys, make sure to keep yourself clean and keep your odor in check. The sweat glands of men are very active so a shower regimen is vital.
Find a good deodorant that suits your lifestyle and wear clean clothes to avoid build up of bacteria that may cause body odor.
Pick a scent that speaks of your personality and character. There are numerous perfumes in the market, designed to suit varying qualities. For the working man who is in constant meetings with clients, a favorite is the Terre D’Hermes by Hermés. Acca Kappa is a steady favorite for its clean smell.
Hair
Most men are worried about thinning hair. While this is mostly due to genetics, lifestyle and environment play a role in affecting how you look. In order to age gracefully, we must all live a healthy lifestyle by avoiding smoke and alcohol, and by watching what we eat.
The good thing about modern technology is that there are products in the market designed to prevent hair loss. It is fantastic that favorite brands like Kérastase work on a special line designed for men only.
The Homme collection includes the Bain Capital Force Energetique, which is an energizing shampoo for your scalp.
This means that the ingredients in the formula will help increase blood flow on your scalp, for strong and shiny hair. Kérastase carries a more potent formula, the Specifique Intensive Scalp Treatment. A vial contains a high concentration of Arginine to strengthen your hair strands and promote healthy hair growth.
