9 men’s grooming tips for better appearance, health – and success
- Plucking, trimming, filing, flossing – all are needed for modern men to keep themselves and their appearance at the top of their game
- It’s not all about trimmers and tweezers. Don’t underestimate the importance of good posture, clean bedlinen – and fresh underwear
Only half of men are happy with their looks, found the survey published in the journal Body Image. Fifteen per cent loathe their looks. Worse, body image is the second-highest index of happiness for men, trumping love life.
Here are nine ways men can improve their grooming game – and achieve K-pop-like finesse in areas from posture to pedicures.
1. Moisturising
Daniel Clarke, a stylist and wellness blogger based in Qingdao, eastern China, advises men to moisturise. For combination skin, he suggests trying Neutrogena Oil-free Moisture. For acne-prone skin, try Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel. For oily skin, use Pond’s Men Oil Control Fairness Moisturiser.
He also says to drink six to eight glasses of water daily, never skip a good night’s sleep and avoid washing your face with hot water. He advises being wary of soap, which may have a drying effect, and to go easy on sugar.
