Men Grooming Essentials

Male grooming is on the rise. Long days are gone when men with long hair, wonky beards and nose hair searching for the sun use to be their fashion trend – let's welcome metrosexual man instead: who's got soft moisturised skin and perfectly styled hair, sparkling white teeth and designer stubble. Most importantly, he's brimming with confidence.

Nowadays men are choosing metrosexual path over the caveman look by adding theses grooming essentials to their bathroom-shelf:

• Moisturiser - everyone needs moisturiser, no matter what age, what skin type or what gender you have. In fact, it is recommended that you get both daytime and a night time moisturiser. Your daytime moisturiser should be applied when you get out of your shower- prefer using light SPF even if it's not sunny. But your night cream should be little thicker and stuffed with natural butter, oils and vitamins.

• Exfoliator - Dirt and dead skin can build and leave your complexion dull and lifeless, so a daily exfoliator is a great way to keep looking glowing, bright and healthy. Make sure your exfoliator is not harsh because it can leave sensitive skin red, sore and damaged

• Lip Balm - Always keep a tube of lip balm in your pocket, especially during winters. Apply balm whenever your lips are feeling dry.

• Shaving Cream - Never compromise by using shaving cream that contains a lot of chemicals. A good shave cream lathers up your skin so that your hair is agitated and you can get a super close shave.

• A good shampoo - If you have reached the age where you need to colour your hair, then you might be damaging your hair by using certain brands of shampoo. Make sure you choose a mild shampoo that can formulate your hair type.

• Flossing - Flossing is essential when it comes to taking care of your gums & teeth. Doctor recommends flossing at least once a day to avoid and remove plague from the areas between your teeth where your brush can't reach. Flossing also helps in preventing cavities and gum disease.

• Deodorant - Deodorant has become an important part of our life because cleanliness is a positive thing. If you smell good, people are attracted towards you otherwise it results as a negative appearance. Prefer wearing deodorant when you go out specially in summers.

Therefore, keep all the above essentials in your kit and soon you'll see the difference.
