Self-care is for everyone and there’s no need for men to shy away from it. Investing in your appearance can make a difference to both the way you look and your self-esteem! If you’re looking for some simple male grooming tips, we’ve got you covered here at The Range.
The bar of hand soap just simply isn’t cutting it anymore. Using a good face wash can reduce blemishes and blackheads and give you a healthy glow. If you feel like getting really fancy with it, try choosing one based on your skin type.
Use a moisturiser morning and night to keep your face looking fresh and hydrated. Make sure you’re applying an SPF every single morning to protect your skin from sun damage (yes, even when it’s cloudy!), this will also help to keep you looking youthful.
Exfoliation is an important step in any skincare routine, but especially before shaving. It helps to free any trapped or ingrown hairs, removes dead skin cells allowing for a closer shave, and gives you a nice glow on top of that! Make sure you’re using shaving cream and a good sharp razor. Regularly swapping out your razor will not only give you a closer shave but will also prevent nicks and cuts.
Splash your face with cold water when you’re done. This will close the pores (preventing blemishes) and help to cool the skin. Follow with a post-shave balm to soothe any irritation.
Your beard is a focal point of your face, so it’s an important aspect to care for. Your trimmer likely came with a few different attachments, so use them! Rather than doing the one length all over, use the attachments to add shape and dimension to your facial hair. Don't forget to trim your nose and ears!
Never underestimate the power of having well-groomed hands. You don’t need to go for a full-blown manicure, but just making sure that your nails are tidy and, most of all, clean, will make a big difference.
Find products that work for your hair. That 3-in-1 bottle might be convenient, but it’s probably not doing you any favours. Having a separate shampoo and conditioner as well as styling products that suit your hair type will make sure you have a long line of good hair days. This includes your beard, too! Using beard oil or styling products will make your beard more soft and supple, which will make you look neater.
Having a signature scent will make you look and feel more put together. You can read our article on finding your fragrance here.
