Sometimes it seems like
the grooming and beauty industry caters entirely to women, and that male
grooming products and tools are somewhat overlooked. The
Art of Shaving in Salem, New
Hampshire is changing that with functional, stylish shaving tools and grooming
products designed specifically with men's skincare needs in mind. Use these
three celebrity grooming secrets to enhance your own skin and hair care
regimen, and stop by The Art of Shaving to stock up on the essential tools for
a clean and polished look.
Get
Rid of Unwanted Hairs
There are places you want hair, and places you don’t. One of the single most
age-betraying grooming issues is ear and nose hair, and nothing will make you
look older than you are faster than letting these strays slide. George
Clooney’s stylist, Diane Schmidtke, says that she keeps him looking youthful by
making sure the inevitable ear and nose hair is kept in check with good quality
tweezers and scissors, and these tools should be a part of every man’s toiletry
kit
Lather
Up
Men can sometimes shy away from using facial skincare products, but once you
start you’ll be amazed at how clear and young your skin looks. To keep skin
from drying out, celebrity stylist Natalia Bruschi recommends a daily
moisturizer and sunscreen. These two components are absolutely essential, and
there’s no reason to be reticent about lathering on these useful products to
keep your skin hydrated and protected. Especially for men who work outdoors,
daily facial skincare is important to maintain a healthy appearance.
Try starting with a basic moisturizer to be applied after shaving. You’ll
immediately notice a difference in the feel and look of your skin, and the
women in your life will notice as well. A good moisturizer will control shine
throughout the day, and reduce dryness and itching.
Change
up Your Part
You probably have a part that falls naturally the same way every day, without
needing any special styling. For important events like big dates or
presentations, changing your part can give you a new look with no commitment.
Stylist Natalia Bruschi accomplishes this on clients like Ryan Reynolds simply
by parting hair to a different side than usual, or by styling hair in a
tousled, straight-up style for clients who wear a daily part. Think of it like
creating a temporary, alternate persona, and the only tools you need are a good
quality comb and styling product.
