know
what you’re thinking….”I’m a dude, I don’t need beauty tips.” The truth is if
you care about the health of your skin, your hair, and your body (which you
should!), then you need to have a bit of a beauty regimen. With these simple
beauty tips for men, you’ll be able to keep your body happy without much work.
1. MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN
You take care of all the organs inside your body, but what
are you doing to care for your largest organ – your skin? An adult carries
around about 8 pounds of skin, so you need to make sure it’s healthy. Moisture
is the number one way to keep your skin healthy. Drink plenty of water. And if
your skin still feels a little dry, apply lotion after you shower. Use a body
lotion on, well, your body and get a face moisturizer for your face.
2. PROTECT YOUR FACE WHEN YOU SHAVE
Shaving can cause irritation and in-grown hairs. Ouch. Plus,
men’s skin is more prone to sensitivity, so if you’re not using a shaving cream
when you groom your face, you need to be. Look for shave creams with soothing,
anti-oxidant ingredients. We like Aveda’s Men Pure-Formance shave cream. If you
struggle with redness when you shave, a soothing shave cream will save your
skin. Notice we didn’t say shave gels. Gels tend to have more alcohol, which
increases the risk of dry skin.
3. CLEANSE YOUR FACE
Women aren’t the only ones who need to wash and cleanse
their faces. Pollution, dust, sweat, and dirt from just daily activities can
clog your pores. At the end of the day, you need to wash your face to clean all
that gunk from your skin.
Cleansers help remove excess oil, so if you struggle with acne
or oil, you’ll want to add a daily cleanser into your morning or night routine.
4. USE SHAMPOO FOR MEN

Men’s scalps are different than women’s. A man’s scalp is
more likely to become itchy, irritated, and react poorly to certain ingredients.
Because of this, men should use hair products tailored to them. A man’s scalp
also tends to produce more oil than a women’s, so you need a shampoo that can
cleanse hair without over-drying it. You need to find a shampoo built for men
to keep your hair and scalp happy without drying either out.
5. MEN CAN USE CONDITIONER TOO
You may have heard that guys don’t need conditioner. If your
hair is under two inches, you might be able to get by without using it, but if
you have longer hair, you’ll want to add a bottle of conditioner to your shower
shelf. The conditioner will add back any moisture your shampoo strips away.
6. MINIMIZE WRINKLES
In addition to keeping skin moisturized, your diet will help
keep wrinkles to a minimum. Watery fruits and veggies help with hydration,
which keeps skin youthful. Add watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lemons into
your diet. Also, eat more cabbage. It contains vitamin C and vitamin A, both of
which help erase lines. It also detoxifies the blood, and the fiber in cabbage
pushes waste and toxins out of the body. Toxins can show up on your face,
making you look older than you are.
7. EMBRACE THE BROW WAX
We’re stealing a tip from women. Ladies shouldn’t be the
only ones grooming their brows. To enhance their facial features, guys should
pluck and groom their brows. Keep the unibrows at bay by plucking on your own.
To get a handsome shape, visit a professional for a waxing.
8. KEEP YOUR LIPS SOFT
Here’s a simple beauty tip for men: use lip balm! Lips age
drastically and they can dry out fast. Throw a lip balm, preferably one with
sun protection, into your pocket and apply it throughout the day.
9. WHITEN YOUR SMILE
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about
you. Healthy, white teeth not only look nice, but they’ll save you time and
money at the dentist’s office. Brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash daily
lowers the risk of gum disease, cavities, bleeding, and infections. These can
cause serious damage to the road. If you smoke or drink a lot of coffee, talk
to your dentist about whitening options.
10. GET PLENTY OF SLEEP

Noticing bags under the eyes? It could be because you’re not
getting enough rest. The average adult needs between 7 and 9 hours of sleep. If
you’re still seeing bags under your eyes, you can reduce the puffiness by
placing cold spoons on your eyes. Also, chilled raw potato slices placed under
the eyes for around 20 minutes can help reduce dark circles. They contain
catecholase, a skin-lightening enzyme.
Even if you can’t work all of these beauty tips for men into
your daily routine, starting to do a few of these will help your skin, hair,
and teeth. You’ll look better, but more importantly, you’ll feel better!
