8 Men’s Grooming Tips From Hideous Movie Monsters

How To Look Less Like A Hideous Monster bad skin and complexion acneMONSTER: Freddy Krueger
PROBLEM: A, um, slight problem with his complexion

Freddy Krueger made his big-screen debut in 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, when he sliced and diced several pesky high school students. But after approximately 30 sequels and a so-so franchise reboot earlier this year, we think it’s about time Fred stopped haunting dreams and started addressing his hauntingly f’d up face.

He’d do well to start with the two-step Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel ($65 @ Amazon.com) from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, which brightens skin through “microexfoliation,” controls excess oil, and helps minimize scars. The alpha hydroxy-based product smells a bit like insect repellent, but that’s still a step up from the stank of Freddy’s old sweater.
