This is no secret —> “Every woman loves and enjoys a man who takes care of himself without having to be told or reminded about it!” Just the fact that you are a man, there are things that you are taking for granted… like not taking care of your skin because that’s a “female thing”. Well, if you want to get to 50 and look 70 while at it, then keep that mentality. But if you want to look younger than you actually are in the future, then you must start now by following the primping imperatives below:
Shampoo your hair- Just washing your hair is not enough and you may also forget that using just soap might not be the best way to go. Most soaps are meant for your body (skin) and not your hair and some soaps are just too strong for your scalp and that’s whyshampoo was invented. Shampooing your hair adds the much needed hair and scalp nutrients that are included in the shampoos and not only will your hair/ scalp look more presentable, it will smell good too.
Things like brushing your teeth everyday after breakfast and before you go to bed should be a no brainer. You will simply be able to escape cavities and gum issues for a very long time.
Floss your teeth – You want to have cavity free teeth, zero gum disease and no need for dentures in the future?…Well then you will be forced to floss your teeth daily. Flossing is very important whether you have teeth related issues already or not. Dental is not expensive and it only takes a few minutes to floss teeth. And did I mention you will have fresh and pleasant breath always?
Wear sunscreen- The sun is good but it can be a bad bad agent what’s with it’s dangerous UVA and UVB light that aid in causing skin cancer. You don’t have to be at the Coast to invest in some sunscreen, even your dermatologist will advise you to use sunscreen every single day of your life.
Wear lip balm all the time! – The key word here being balm NOT gloss! Your lips need moisture as there are natural atmospheric agents that deplete them of moisture… like wind and sun. The idea is not to look like you have applied anything on your lips (and that is why there is lip balm for men). This is not gay it just shows that you love yourself and you take care of yourself. Give your girl a chance to enjoy kissing your well taken care of lips and also brag about it. A man who can take out lip balm from his pocket and dab some on his lips is one guy who knows what’s good for him.
Wash your face thoroughly…and with a facial cleanser if possible. Like I said before, some soaps could be too harsh for your skin and they could be doing more harm than good depleting your skin of it’s natural moisture content and elasticity. The facial cleansers have gone under extreme research and it is proven that they are good for your skin. They’ve been made to remove the extra dust, oil and dirt that accumulates on your skin every day. Also do wash your face before you go to bed.
Use shaving cream- Don’t use short cuts when it comes to shaving or use only water or soap as your shaving base. Shaving creams have the right ingredients to actually help your skin from the roughness of the blades and they help leave your skin soft and supple. You’ll thank yourself later on in life when your chin still looks smooth and well taken care of.
PS: You’ll thank yourself later
