Today women are looking so dolled up…more beautiful than ever… so we men have to do something to catch up with them… it’s all because of you beautiful ladies that men have started getting conscious about their looks! model Sahil Shroff said jestfully. Men have oilier skin and larger pores than women. Hence it becomes very important to clean your face every day. Deep cleansing is important; it keeps pores clear and skin healthy. Cleansing products should be as chemical-free as possible. Sahil added, “In order to keep my skin toned up, I drink a lot of water as it drains away all the toxins. In terms of face wash and moisturizers, I prefer natural products.” So go natural. Scrubbing should also be incorporated in the grooming regime as it removes dead cells and smoothens the surface of your face. When it comes to getting the flawless skin, stylist Clint Fernandes stated, “Follow a diet that suits the body better… drink lots of water… exercise, avoid alcohol and cigarettes. Using an oil free moisturizer and sun screen also helps. Achieving the good clear skin is more an internal matter. Since men are mostly out, environmental dust and pollutants tend to act against their skin. Toning helps keep the skin clear and firm. With ageing, skin starts losing its elasticity, hence astringents and toners work the best for toning the face. Prevent your self from working many hours in direct sun exposure, always apply sun screen lotions in order to prevent tanning. After shaving, one should go for proper moisturizing with a non-alcohol based product. Avoid strong fragrant after-shave products too, as they can irritate the skin. Always use a light moisturizer on your face after cleansing and shaving. Go for vitamin E and aloe vera oil enriched moisturizing treatments. Newly enhanced anti-aging creams by Clinique can be of great help for men’s hard and dry skin and this will help to get rid of wrinkles. Use a lip balm with SPF to prevent the lips getting chapped and cracked. Get rid of the grey hair as soon as the first strand of grey hair is noticeable. Though colouring hair is not much in trend, but one can go for natural colours which will help in getting away with the grey strands and will make you look more youthful and presentable. So what about applying gels to achieve that cool look? “I think too much of anything is harmful, gels do give you that look but oiling hair on regular basis can definitely make up with the loss of proteins,” stated Sahil. On the other hand, model Namit Khanna pointed out, “Good care of hair depends on the length and quality of the hair. No matter if the length is short or long, cleaning hair is very important. After having a shampoo massage, thoroughly rinse your hair and apply conditioner and rinse it within a couple of minutes. Hair demands conditioning always, immediately after the wash. Clint informed, Avoid using too much of alcohol based products for the hair, instead opt for water based products. Also keep in mind over shampooing can dry out the scalp tremendously. Mix some water into your shampoo if you desire to wash your hair regularly. Also keep your diet protein and vitamin B rich to have thick and good looking hair. Hands and feet are the most neglected part of our body, but one should never forget to include them in your grooming routine. Well-manicured nails and toes add on to good hygiene and grooming habits. Namit adds, Go for occasional manicure and pedicure. One more available option is to keep a sanitizer handy, as it proves helpful when one is travelling. Foot odour is a common problem among many men. Scrub your feet daily and dry them completely. Insert a pair of odour-eaters insoles into your shoes, which will absorb wetness and foul smell.
