7 Grooming Habits All Men Should Have

7 Grooming Habits All Men Should Have

These 7 grooming habits all men should have will ensure that you don't let yourself (or your carefully assembled outfit) down with unsightly hair or unnecessarily puffy eyes.

1
The Secret to Suaveness



Men often feel bemused by the overwhelming amount of advice, opinion and small pots filled with expensive gook on the market meant for grooming them. Spending a fortune on a thousand different products, or to lock yourself in the bathroom for hours at a time doesn’t really work. Rather, you should develop a daily routine that is quick, simple and – above all else – about maintenance. Here are seven easy grooming habits that all you men should get into.


2
Visit Your Barber Regularly



Four weeks’ time is when you should visit your barber after your current visit. Too many men wait for the hopelessly outgrown hair before doing anything about it. Basically, if you've noticed your hair needs a cut, then other people have too. Be proactive and have a regular place you trust with your hair so that you don’t have to go through the 'oh my God what if he messes this up' anxiety.











3
Find Your Signature Scent



If people stop in their tracks and notice, you probably are wearing too much after shave which again probably is very loud or obvious. Aim to make it a subtle part of your overall presence. Rather than owning 8-10 average quality bottles you pick from each morning at random, find one or two classic scents you really like and invest in them. Typically woody, spicy or herby scents suit the winter months, while lighter, citrusy scents work best in spring and summer.










4
Date Your Toothbrush



Your shoes and your smile are two things every woman notices. When it comes to the latter, there is no reason for you to ignore the advances in technology. Electric toothbrushes are designed to do most the work for you, plus, they’re better for your health: according to a study by Sheffield University, rotating brushes reduce 11% more plaque than manual toothbrushes, and can also significantly reduce gum problems. Also, use a mouthwash after you brush first thing in the morning.









5
Manscape Properly



It is polite to trim your pubic. And we don’t mean to say that you get the adult star look – just aim for what you'd appreciate in a partner, i.e. keep things neat and tidy. P.S. Keep whatever device you use for this sensitive task separate from what you shave your face with. There are plenty of electric razors on the market designed for the nether region's unique challenges.










6
Scrub Your Face



They sound indulgent, but face scrubs are just textured face washes designed to get the dead skin off your face (particularly the nose, the most exposed part of your face). Monday morning is good to scrub the weekend off your face, and follow the week with a plain face wash that's less abrasive. You'll be looking better than you feel in no time.

Manage Your Facial Fuzz



Unless you're planning to move out into the wilderness to find yourself, facial hair of any length needs to be tamed and maintained if you want to be taken seriously. You don’t have to spend much on a beard trimmer, so pick one up and get into a weekly habit of tidying up. Don't, however, go too far.








8
Put Your Best Feet Forward



They might not be on show much at this time of year, but a good footcare routine is still important. Take care of them after a bath or shower (when the skin is softest) using a pummice stone on any dead skin, before lathering a generous amount of moisturiser on. Then when summer rolls back around, you can wear your flip flops and cause an absolute minimal of disgust in others.
