Grooming the Groom

O.k. guys, it’s your day too!  Men are embracing the art grooming in record numbers. Why not make a little effort by following these guidelines to achieve your ultimate look.

*Anti-Shine
Did you know that men have 20% oilier skin?  With outdoor and destination weddings being the latest trend, you don’t want to look sweaty or nervous.  Use an undetectable anti-shine product with an SPF.  A little skin toned concealer wouldn’t hurt either if you have problem areas.

*Dark Circles
Pack those bags!  Tired or puffy eyes can be eliminated with an eye gel that has chamomile or aloe in it.  Great for the morning after!

 *Exercise
If you’re planning on shedding pounds, go cardio.  Make sure that you cleanse and hydrate before your workout.  You don’t want to build up bacteria or pollutants while you are sweating.  This may clog your pores and cause break-outs.

*Exfoliate
Rough or dry skin?  Men’s skin is 20% thicker than women’s.  Use an all-natural scrub for face and body daily in the shower.  Also, make sure you hydrate your skin with an all-natural moisturizer.

*Eyebrows
This is such an important feature to improve on a handsome face.  Get rid of the mono-brow or “Einstein” look.  Get shaped or waxed at your local spa or barber.

*Hands and Feet
Manicures and Pedicures are totally acceptable and necessary for this big event.  No one wants to see long or dirty nails.

*Internal Cleansing
Colonic hydrotherapy is one of the latest trends.  Not only does it detox all the poisons and waste, it enriches the quality of your appearance over all.  It’s also great to shed a beer belly.

*Massage
This feel-good de-stresser helps both with mental and physical clarity.  It’s a positive physical therapy that is a powerful healing force, great to unwind and relax the soul.

*Smile
There are no excuses for stained or yellow teeth.  There are several approaches to whitening that are easy and affordable, right at the drugstore.  Also, make sure that your breath is fresh when you kiss your bride.

*Shave
Make sure that you have a nice, clean, smooth shave.  Use a new razor and go with the direction of the hairs to avoid any cuts or ingrown complications.

*Tanning
There are many ways to achieve that healthy glow.  It really gives a sexier look to your overall appearance.  Tanning gels with natural ingredients, or spray tans, are good for you.  Make sure that if you do go in the sun, you use a block of at least an SPF 15.

*Waxing
Professional laser and waxing treatments are the norm.  Please get rid of excessive chest, nose, and ear hair.  These are issues that must be addressed!

*Vitamins
Not only are they good for your internal health, they are also great to maintain healthy-looking skin.  The anti-oxidant vitamins, E, C, B, and A are the most nutritious.

Even if you only accomplish a few of these hottest men’s trends, you will feel good about the way you look!  Remember, look good = feel good = confidence = success.
