Men’s Summer Grooming Tips

MALE MANICURES

Manicured nails look great on anyone, and shouldn’t just be seen as ‘one for the women’. Men are prone to getting their hands dirty often, whether it be in the line of work or from playing sports, which often causes dirty nails or hardened skin. Here are a few bits of simple advice for a healthy set of nails:

• Look to use a nail care kit and keep it in your car/bag. Using this regularly along with a nourishing hand cream keeps nails filed and buffed to perfection, with complementing soft hands.

• To enhance well-manicured nails and soft hands, use a rich scented body lotion with a masculine aroma to finish. The body range from Molton Brown have great choices for male skin, due to their scents being rather strong and uplifting

CLEANSING AND EXFOLIATING

Again, it’s not just the ladies who look to promote a healthier complexion, with men’s cleansing regimes becoming more and more popular. So you can understand how to effectively cleanse and care for your skin ‘the man way‘, here are a couple of pointers:

• Cleansing your face with an exfoliating wash helps to get rid of dead skin particles, leaving you with much smoother skin. It can also help prevent blackheads, acne, and ingrown hairs- all of which are a pain for men more so than women. Men can’t really cover imperfections up with foundation, therefore causing more appearance insecurity. One range we love recommending is the male-approved beauty brand Menscience. You’ll find everything from acne treatments to eye creams, and the Menscience Pigmentation Repair Formula is our number one recommended cream. It diminishes the appearance of dark areas and spots that can result from aging, breakouts or sun damage. Simultaneously, it also helps to improve dull areas and eliminates superficial darkened cells.

MOISTURIZING & SPF

It’s important that male skin is kept moisturized at all times, but even more so in the Summer months. With a fantastic range of male-focused moisturizers with added SPF, we’ve rounded up some favorites:

• Double up with a moisturizer loaded with a high SPF – ensuring your skin is cared for and protected in the heat of the sun. We love the sleek and minimal packaging of the Menscience TIO2 SunBlock SPF 30. This lightweight moisturizer is free of oil, lanolin, and fragrance, making it non-irritable in the sun. Aloe Vera and Glycerin bind moisture to the skin while silk amino acids help prevent further moisture loss. Aging is minimized, and a full spectrum of UVA/UVB sun protection is provided.
