Beauty Tips for Men

Tips for Men to Look Tip Top

It is important to appreciate that men are every bit as self-conscious as women when it comes to their appearance and sometimes even more so. Unfortunately, if you are a man, you have very few places to turn for beauty advice. While your wives or girlfriends may have the best of intentions, it is seldom wise to follow their advice since men have very distinct and unique grooming needs. Simply put, what works for a woman doesn't always work for a man. Here are a few beauty tips for men everywhere.

1. Moisturize. This is the single most important key to having good skin. As men, our very lifestyles can wreak havoc on our skin. Fast-food diets, smoky bar rooms, and exposure to sunlight can all cause premature aging. Moisturizing your face will hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. So don't wait until your 30 or 40 to start moisturizing. Rather start young and keep those laugh lines and fine wrinkles at bay. Be good to your skin and it will reward you with years of youthful healthy looking skin!

2. Sunscreen. By the time you notice the effects of UV damage to the skin, it is usually too late to do anything about it. Research suggests that the majority of the damage which occurs to our skin happens in our teens and 20's, even though the effects are not seen until we are in our 30's or 40's. Apply a sunscreen to your face even on a cloudy day!!

3. Eyebrows. The eyebrows are the frame of the face, and wild and bushy eyebrows will only detract from your other features. Eyebrow grooming is not difficult; simply go to the salon every 6-8 weeks and have them trimmed, tweezed, or waxed. Make sure that your stylist doesn't go overboard with the arching, as this can look feminine. You only want your brows maintained, not re-shaped.

4. Ears, nose, and neck. As a man ages, he will discover hair growing in places where hair has no business growing. Unfortunately, this usually happens right around the time when hair stops growing in the places you want it to. Just as old people migrate to Florida upon retirement, your hair will seem to migrate from your scalp to your ears, nose and neck as you get older. Ask your barber or stylist to check these areas and keep them hair-free. Do not be embarrassed to ask; they have been thoroughly trained in this area.

5. Hands and Nails. No woman wants to be touched by hands that are callused, with fingernails that are jagged and caked with dirt and car grease. There is nothing effeminate about getting manicures. After all, they are called MANicures! These five steps can help every man look and feel his best!
