BEAUTY TIPS AND THE BEAUTY CARE GUIDE FOR MEN
Shaving and Blemishes
Shaving with a blade will only aggravate the situation. You might be better off
using an electric razor until the skin clears up.
Shaving and Your Razor Blade
The blade should ALWAYS be sharp even if it means changing it at least once a
week.
Are You Using Shaving Foam?
Did you know that shaving foams leave an air space between the skin and the
foam? This causes a dragging of the razor and could be the reason that you are
noticing irritation and even ingrown hair.
Skin Protection For Men
Because of the time spent out of doors, playing golf or jogging, the number of
skin cancers are on the rise for men. They have to get into the habit of
applying a sunscreen whenever they leave the house. Look for a product that
offers at least SPF15.
So You Want To Grow A Beard
A lot of stores now carry beard trimmers and they come with attachments for
various lengths so you might need one of those. If you are looking for a variety
of styles, the best place to go would be to a salon and have a stylest suggest
the perfect look. They will then proceed to trim the beard and then be sure to
ask for maintenance suggestions.
What Is Athlete's Foot?
Athlete's Foot is a common, contagious fungus infection of the skin on the feet
which can affect both sexes and can usually be treated at home with simple foot
care treatments. Some of the things that you can do to combat this fungus
include Bathing your feet daily, drying your feet thoroughly and apply drying or
dusting powder. It is a good idea to go barefoot when possible. Change shoes and
socks daily.
Itchy Skin
There are a number of reasons why you may be suffering from itchy skin, It could
be any of the following reasons.
• You are not drinking enough water. Shoot for 8 glasses a day. Keep a glass
next to where ever you are working and sip it during the day. Its easy to
consume that amount if it's sitting next to you.
• Avoid hot baths. Instead, run a warm bath and use a moisturizing cleanser.
• Don't completely dry your skin after each shower or bath. While skin is damp,
apply a rich body lotion and seal in the moisture.
Man Skin Care Beauty Product Tips
A while ago, men had to steal a bit of our wives, girlfriends or even
sisters face cleanser or moisturizer. Of course we know it wasn't because we
like to put on make up or play dress up. It's because we want to look good,
clean and attractive for women. However, now a day's companies are finally
starting to respond to men's interest in skin care and today we have a variety
of men skin care products on the market. Statistics show that just in the United
States, men spend more than 4 billion dollars per year on grooming products.
I know some of you guys may still me tempted to just use whatever's in the
bathroom mirror cabinet, but you have to realize that a man's skin and woman's
skin is very different. The men skin care products made today are designed
specifically for men and our skin.
A man's skin is about 20 percent thicker than woman's, and it's a lot more firm
than hers because we have more collagen and elastin. Unfortunately, men have
more active sebaceous glands; this means our skin tends to be oilier. Also, due
to regular shaving, men's facial skin tends to get dehydrated.
While taking care of your skin sounds girlish, it'll actually get you more
attention from the ladies because you're taking care of your appearance and more
specifically your facial skin. Trust me, good skin doesn't go unnoticed. So it's
time to stock up on some quality men skin care products and you can get these
babies either online or at most local stores. Below I picked out some
moisturizers for men that I would recommend. Remember, all of these products
where mad for men and there's nothing girly going on here.
Zirh Protect: Face Moisturizer
This is the ultimate environmental defense lotion for your face. It contains an
effective moisturizer that leaves no oily film, improves your skins texture and
slows your skins aging. Unlike many face lotions that contain mineral oil which
may cause acne, this moisturizer will give you no problems.
Brave Soldier: Brave Face
Brave Face immediately soothes, cools, and reduces irritation and redness after
shaving. Healing botanicals such as soy amino acids and marine extracts helps
enrich and stimulate your skin's own natural balance. Personally, I use this
moisturizer all the time after shaving and it really does what it says.
Sharps Barber & Shop Daily: Prep Skin Tuning Lotion
This super hi-tech lotion has a controlled release system that delivers all day
moisture without the greases. The company strives to a modern approach to the
traditional barbershop, getting guys all cleaned up and ready for action.
Jack Black: Line Smoother Face Moisturizer
This ultra-lightweight moisturizer helps fight the signs of aging. Natural fruit
acids and vitamins help minimize fine lines, wrinkles and skin discoloration by
gently sloughing off the top layer of skin, revealing younger, smoother skin
beneath. The formula soaks in fast, with no greasy after feel. My favorite
feature is that it's fragrance free and colorant free.
Men Science: Advanced Face Lotion
This high-performance moisturizer, formulated with advanced water binding agents
and skin refining ingredients, helps renew and restore your complexion while
nurturing and protecting it. The ultra light, oil-free formula absorbs
immediately and is by far one of my favorite light lotions.
There are tons of quality men skin care products on the market today. I would
suggest that you try various products, so you can see which is best for your
type of skin. Of course this doesn't mean skin care has to be your life's
priority, remember that this only takes up a couple of minutes after your shower
and the benefits, such as getting more attention for girls, are definitely worth
it.
Hair Care and Beauty Tips for Men
Whether you're more of the "Classic" type or into the latest and trendiest
hairstyles, a thorough yet simple hair care routine is critical to keeping your
manly locks looking great.
* Wash: Aim for clean, healthy hair. It's the foundation for any hair style. The
frequency with which you wash your hair depends on your lifestyle. If you're
more active than most, then you'll need to consider washing your hair more often
to reduce the build-up that sweat can produce on your scalp. Whichever schedule
you chose, ensure that it's a regular part of your routine.
* Tone: Gently massage your scalp. This is an often skipped part of everyone's
hair care routine. It's too bad because toning for a few minutes -- after you
wash but before you condition -- not only feels great but helps release natural
oils from your sebaceous glands (that's a good thing). There's no special way to
massage, although you'll want to avoid going in circles to avoid tangling your
hair.
* Condition: Moisturize your hair. Conditioner is an essential hair product if
your hair is dry. A herbal rinse is better for those with oily hair. You can
make both products yourself but they can be purchased for a few dollars at any
popular pharmacy or salon supply store.
* Groom: Get the right tools. You'll likely need the following:
- brush (natural bristles are best)
- comb (wide-toothed if you have curly hair)
- hair dryer (if it's less than 1000 watts, you're wasting your time)
* Style: Find a comfortable style that you can easily maintain on your own
daily in less than five minutes. The better you know hair products, the faster
you'll get your hair done. Make sure to read up on the differences between gels,
mousses, sprays and pomades. Bed head, be gone!
Beauty Makeup Tips For Men
These days, makeup for men is becoming increasingly popular for that groomed
shaved handsome looks of ramp models that make the men so desirable. Here are
some tips that men can use:
- Use either white pressed powder or foundation similar to your skin tone
as base.
- Mustaches and beards do not go well with foundation and eye shadow. So
choose one or the other.
- A black kohl line under the eyes and sparing use of eye shadow can do
for men so you do not look overdone.
- For particular looks, you may try body painting on forehead and cheeks
along with glitters.
- Lipsticks in natural colors are good enough and it is better to use
darker shades. However, the color depends on skin, eye and hair color and
your hair cut and style.
- Do not use the same group of colors for lips and eyes for example dark
red lipstick and black eyeshade and never ever use black lipstick.
- For photo sessions, replace foundation with bronzing gel on the bearded
area. You can dust cheeks with bronze powder too for the sun-tanned look.
Use only clear or sheer tint of lip gloss. Concealers, fine eyeliner line
and black mascara may be used.
- Choose blue or yellow-based colors after determining the undertone of
your skin. You can seek professional advice to know the correct colors.
Men's Grooming Tips and Skin Care Tips
* Keep your fingernails trimmed and clean. Same for toenails.
* Trim your nose hairs occasionally. What you're used to, others may notice.
* If you don't iron your clothes, remove them immediately from the dryer so
wrinkles don't set.
* In hot weather, wear light-colored, cotton clothing and socks. This will
absorb less heat and "sweat stains" will be less visible.
* Consider trimming your arm pit hairs in warm weather. Less hairs, less
bacteria, less smell. Think about it.
* Don't be reluctant to trim or tweeze any stray eyebrow hairs.
* Good dental hygiene means a dazzling smile.
* Brush your tongue when you brush your teeth. Your tongue attracts bacteria and
can cause bad breath.
Skin Care for Men
* Wear sunglasses outside, not only will the sun damage the skin around your
eyes, constant squinting will leave permanent creases over time.
* Fake a tan - use sunless tanning lotion.
* Men need moisturizers and sunscreen just as much as the opposite gender. If
you don't have a skin care regimen, start now.
* Quit smoking and restore your healthy glow.
* Never pick a mole. If one looks suspicious or is bothersome, your
dermatologist can remove it with a very simple procedure.
* Visit your dermatologist annually for a complete examination.
* Use a concealer for blemishes. Men do this all the time. Just don't think
about the "make-up" word.
* If you're prone to acne and breakouts, wash your face twice a day with
antibacterial soap.
* Use a toner to remove excess oil and shine on your face.
* Use lip balm outdoors to prevent chapped lips.
