Tips for men to improve their looks
Basic skincare and personal care is enough to get started
|
Howard writes, “I think that my looks are affecting how I am perceived at work and how women treat me. I am
a hardworking, educated professional (you can call me a nerd), but dress very simple and beyond shaving, I hardly do anything else. I find that some of my peers at work who have been on the fast track are all smartly dressed while I prefer my flannel shirts and khakis. I am also completely ignored in bars at parties by women who tend to gravitate towards men in stylish clothes. What can I do to
become like one of
these guys?” |

Yes, of course, it might come across as more intimidating than learning a new programming language, but below are a few
simple tips to get started. You may not look like George Clooney at the Golden Globes award ceremony, but you will
look far more attractive than you currently do:
Trip to the spa or
medspa: Have a facial along with a hair cut. The esthetician will also recommend
products for your
skin. That way you can put together your very own personal care
kit.
Personal care: Try to exfoliate at least once a week now that you have your own
skincare
kit. You will notice a difference in your skin within a matter of days and you will
look younger and will have a glow on your skin. If you work under the sun or have a long drive,
use sunblock to protect your
skin. Neutrogena Sheer Dry Sun Block 30 or 45 SPF is one of our favorites because it is very light. Alternatively, you can use a moisturizer with sun block.

Manicures and pedicures: Don’t let anyone tell you that only gays keep their nails in good shape. That is BS. You can buy a
nailcare kit on the web or just visit a
spa for
men or even a
nail salon in the mall. Most salons now also have separate areas for men.
Eyebrow care: Eyebrow shaping is not only for women or metrosexuals any more. Men can also benefit from this simple beauty procedure. Have you not seen enough men with horrible eyebrows so bushy that you wonder why they do not do something about it? Damone Roberts, Hollywood eyebrow expert, recommends that that men too trim their eyebrows.
Prior to any
red carpet event in Hollywood, both male and
female celebrities trim and dye their eyebrows. First, comb them with a small comb (like the ones used in mascara) and then simply trim the excess hair. Alternatively, you can ask your hairdresser to do it for you. |
