People spend so much time at work chasing the bag they sometimes forget to take care of themselves.
Being consistent in grooming is more important than any man could imagine. Not only does it make you look good, it also makes you feel good about yourself.
Zaweer Ebrahim from Playboy shares five essential grooming habits every man should incorporate into his daily routine to look and feel his best.
Face
Washing your face with just water is not self-care. You need a face wash to remove any impurities from your face, followed by a toner to balance the skin’s pH levels, and finish with a moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and smooth.
Invest in a high-quality moisturiser with SPF to streamline your routine and ensure your skin stays protected from the sun’s rays.
Tip: The idea that sunscreen is less critical during the winter is a massive misconception, so apply it even in winter.
Hair
A great haircut is to men what a great hairdo is to women: It’s everything and much more. However, your hair must always be clean, that is why it is advisable to wash your hair using organic shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type.
Tip: Remember to consult your hairstylist to find the best techniques tailored to your specific hair needs and styling preferences.
Teeth
A bright smile is a key component of your overall appearance. Good dental hygiene is essential and can be easily maintained with regular visits to the dentist and hygienist.
Tip: Don’t forget to floss!
Hands and feet
You must never have ashy hands and cracked heels, so moisturise. Also, keep your nails trimmed and clean, and if you can, get a buff and shine.
Tip: Invest in a good pair of nail clippers and a quality emery board to keep your nails neat and well-shaped.
Skin
Invest in a good body moisturiser to keep your skin glowing and supple. Hydrated skin not only feels better, but also looks healthier and more vibrant.
Tip: For optimal hydration, apply lotion or cream immediately after showering to lock in moisture and maintain smooth, supple skin throughout the day.
