Five Surprising Grooming Tips For Men To Try Out

A lot of men don't like to admit it, but they need to groom just as often as women do. Whether it's a scraggly beard of unkempt hands, men need to work hard to make sure that they're looking top notch. There are the basics, like washing your hair and clipping your fingernails. However, there are some lesser known grooming tips that more men need to try. Here are the top five surprising grooming tips that you need to consider.

Five  Grooming Tips For Men
Try Getting a Manicure
A lot of men are little too insecure about their masculinity to get a manicure. However, there is nothing inherently feminine about having nice looking fingernails. In fact, your hands are one of the most widely noticed parts of your body. Long, dirty fingernails look pretty awful so it's important that you keep your hands looking nice. A manicure also shines your fingernails, making your hands look even cleaner. If you don't like the idea of going into a salon and getting a manicure, get one of your gal friends to do it!

Avoid Wrinkles
Obviously, we're talking about the wrinkles on your shirt. While some people may not think people notice a shirt that didn't get ironed in the morning, they do. Nothing makes a man look more frumpy and bummy than a wrinkled shirt. It just screams, "I don't care about the way I look!"

Use a Dedicated Face Wash
Too many men just throw body soap on their face a day. This will dry your skin out because body wash is way too harsh to put on your face. Get an actual facial cleanser. They're not just for girls.

Use a Straight Razor
Time to put on the shaving cream. While clippers or electric shavers may be great for those in a hurry, nothing beats the nice clean shave of a straight razor. Not only does it give you a closer and longer lasting shave, it's also just a lot more fun to get a shave from a straight razor. If you're scared to do it yourself, there are plenty of barbers that will do it for you.

Whiten Your Teeth
Not having perfectly straight teeth is normal and no one should really stress out about it. However, smoking and coffee drinking can have a detrimental effect on the color of your teeth. While brushing and flossing your teeth is no-brainer, they may not get you those pearly whites that you always wanted. Remember to make sure that the toothpaste you use is a whitening toothpaste. In addition to that, you can always get whitening kits from the store.

All in all, there are many things you can do to improve your appearance. These are the five best ways to do so. The best part is that they aren't exclusive to men. Women can follow these tips as well.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.
