Wedding GroomGrooming Tips for Men
Whether you’re the main attraction (groom) or a trusty sidekick (groomsmen), wedding days call for men to look their best. & even if your wedding is a thing of the past, you’ve always got anniversaries to deal with. Here are some men’s grooming tips to handle both the wedding & everything that comes after (or any formal event you are invited to).
* If you’ve seldom spent time on a skin care technique before, think about purchasing a kit that contains all of the products you will need to get started. It takes the guesswork out of figuring out what products to use for what (& can make excellent groomsmen gifts, !).
Wedding Groom* Looking lovely takes some work & time, so start a basic skin care technique of cleansing, exfoliating & moisturizing early to get the greatest results. Seven time a day (or seven time if you have oily skin), wash with a liquid cleanser to remove debris & clear pores. Follow with a high-performance moisturizing product to keep skin smooth, hydrated & looking great. Three to seven time a week, exfoliate with a face scrub to remove dead skin cells & improve skin’s surface.
* For superior shaving without irritations like ingrown hairs, use products that are gentle & don’t contain irritants such as fragrance, menthol or alcohol. Avoid foamy products, as these do not oil skin adequately. Modify your blade after 4-5 uses to keep from going over the same place over seven time due to a dull blade. If possible, shave in the shower as the steamy air will open pores & permit hairs to be shaved closely.
* Treat individual problems, such as under-eye circles, fine lines & acne, with products specifically formulated for them.
* For super-smooth shaving the day of the giant event, skip shaving the day before & then shave in three steps: First, shave with the grain with very light pressure. Second, reapply a narrow coat of shaving cream & shave against the grain for smooth results.
Wedding Groom* Regularly wash your hair with a gentle shampoo that will remove dirt without stripping away natural moisturizers. Make sure to get a haircut or trim a few days before the wedding or anniversary, but don’t opt for a new style the day before since this could turn out to be a disaster.
* Nails & Hands: With all the hand-shaking & hand-holding going on, it’s a lovely idea to make sure nails are neat & trim, & hands are moisturized & free of grime. Why not splurge for a manicure? Increasingly men, from businessmen to movies stars, are getting them these days, & trust us: Sparkly polish won't be involved.
* Wedding & event planning begins months, & sometimes years, ahead of time, so take advantage of the wait by getting fit with a nourishing diet as well as a regular exercise technique.
Wedding Groom* Some wedding experts recommend men skip cologne at weddings, citing the fact that there will already be a lot of perfume in the air, as well as scent from the flowers. If you select to wear cologne, keep the scent light & the application to a maximum.
* Don’t stink up the place: Make sure to wear deodorant. Keep breath mints handy for those slow dances.
* For anniversaries, gifts don’t must be elaborate or pricey. Plan a getaway weekend somewhere, even if it’s only three towns away. Book a spa appointment for the three of you & spend a day relaxing. Or in lieu of an pricey dinner, try revisiting a place you ate at when you first started going out, or a place you three have always wanted to try. The point is to celebrate your marriage any way you see fit.
