Grooming Tips for Men

grooming tips for men, exfoliateExfoliation: It’s not just for your girlfriend. Here’s the deal: Your skin has a layer of dead skin cells on top of it at any given time, which it sloughs off naturally to reveal new skin underneath. Exfoliating will help remove these old skin cells from the surface of your skin, keeping it bright and healthy looking. For most men, shaving the face is a great exfoliating process. If you skew a little scruffier, you can exfoliate manually with a scrub. For a store-bought scrub, try Baxter of California’s Face Scrub, $15. It contains tiny pieces of walnut shell and honey, which will simultaneously exfoliate and repair your skin. If you scoff at the idea of ponying up $15 for a man scrub, consider concocting your own at home. Sugar, baking soda, or aspirin are all good bases for a homemade exfoliating scrub. Exfoliating can be rough on the skin if repeated too often, so make sure you limit your fresh-faced pursuits to once weekly.
