There used to be a time when skin care and grooming concerns were thought of as mainly a “woman’s thing” and lumped into the category of “beauty products.” Men had a few basic one-size-fits-all options for skin and hair care and items like moisturizers or anti-aging products were not even available for males.
But over the years attitudes have changed greatly. Men are more interested than ever in taking care of their health and appearance and in presenting themselves in the best way possible. Accordingly, men are no longer satisfied with generic products that aren’t customized to their needs.
Top Men’s Grooming Trends
Perhaps you too have become more discerning about the items that you use on your skin and hair. We have some tips and product recommendations for anyone who wants to be a well-groomed modern man.
Know your skin type and choose products accordingly.
Many men use no skin care products at all aside from perhaps some shaving cream. Most men could benefit from cleansers and moisturizers designed for their skin type. Take some time to consider your biggest skin issues. The most common concerns are dryness, oiliness, aging and wrinkles or acne. You may have more than one concern also. And you could have dryness on your cheeks but tend to get oily around your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin).
Once you know your main skin concerns, head over to a trusted brand like Lab Series and find a good cleanser and moisturizer that suits your skin. (Tip: Even oily skin can use moisturizer to balance the skin and keep it from producing so much oil.)
Care for your body from the inside out.
The sharpest-looking men know that clear, bright skin and healthy hair start by giving your body what it needs. Hydration is key and most men don’t drink enough water. Diet and exercise are also a must. And to really boost your skin and hair, it’s a great idea to take a daily multivitamin and consider taking a supplement like Phytophanere.
Tame that hair!
More and more men are embracing facial hair and there are a wide range of trendy, attractive looks for men from clean-shaven to burly. But even if you love a full beard, keeping your neck clean and trimming up the rough edges of that beard can be the difference between ruggedly handsome versus wild mountain man. Invest in a good Andis trimmer to keep your hair and beard in control.
Get soft hands and feet.
Hands and feet can take a real beating, especially if you stand all day or must wash and sanitize your hands constantly. A good lotion plus a quality callus stone can make a world of difference. We love Ahava Men’s Mineral Hand Cream, and Ahava also makes an excellent soothing mineral foot cream.
