How Men Can Take Care Of Their Looks

When it comes to grooming and beauty tips, men are often given the short end of the stick. There’s very little information out in the world about the things men can do to improve their looks, and this is a real shame as, contrary to popular belief, there are many things that men can do to improve their appearance. It turns out that the handsome movie stars and models know what these things are, and the average man doesn’t. The following will explore a few of the things that you might want to focus on if you’re looking to improve your looks as a man.

Take Care Of Your Hair

This point will be a little harsh, but it needs to be said. Anyone who is a friend to men should be willing to tell this truth: balding is not a good look. Taking care of your hair and taking steps to prevent hair loss is really important. Your hair is one of the ways your body shares information about your health (if people aren’t getting enough calories, their hair thins and breaks) and your testosterone levels (more hair means more testosterone). If your hairline is receding or you have a bald spot, you need to take quick action towards thickening and regrowing your hair or to shave it all off. Do not simply leave it balding. Appearance gurus at BowTiedLife review devices designed to encourage hair growth if you don’t know where to start. Even if your hair is not yet thinning or receding, you might want to include thickening scalp massages of rosemary and mint oil before you hop in the shower. This stimulates follicles to encourage existing hair to grow thicker and more robust. Again, thick healthy hair indicates that you’re healthy, and health is one of the significant factors in how attractive you appear.

Likewise, be cautious of blow dryers or chemical-heavy styling products, as these can strip and weaken hair. Ideally, you want to let your hair air dry whenever you have the chance, and if you need to speed things along, dry it with an old t-shirt, not a towel. Towels are hard on hair and cause a lot of breakages. While you’re at it, make sure your hair is washed regularly with organic, chemical-free shampoo and then conditioned; oily hair isn’t a good look either. Think of the classic movie stars—they have a wide variety of facial features, but they all have thick, healthy hair.

Skin Matters

Skin clarity is one of the most essential beauty components for men or women. This is because your skin is constantly sending messages to other humans about your toxicity levels and, therefore, whether or not you’d make a good contributor of genes for offspring. Believe it or not, most elements of beauty are about procreation when you get down to first principles. Because of this, skin health is critical for movie stars or model appearances.  

Before you run out and start buying fancy washes and topical creams, you need to know that most of your skin clarity, brilliance, and vibrance come from what you eat, not what you slather on your skin. Limit foods that cause bad skin like sugar, unhealthy fats, and simple carbohydrates, and seek out foods that help skin maintain a healthy glow. It can be an adjustment at first, but the good news is that most foods that are good for your skin are suitable for your energy levels and mood as well. 

It is also worth noting that many people have mild intolerances for dairy or gluten, or both. If you can’t figure out why your skin isn’t clearing up despite the steps you’re taking, it’s possible that one or both of these food types could be the culprit. Cut one thing out of your diet at a time for at least an entire month if you want a better sense of whether something is messing with your skin or not. If your skin hasn’t changed, you can reintegrate that back into your diet and try removing the next thing. Getting your allergies tested if you haven’t had them done in a while is a significant step for your overall health and beauty. Congestion isn’t sexy, and if you’re having trouble breathing, even the slightest bit, you’re getting less oxygen to your brain, which means you’re more tired than you need to be and probably making poorer decisions and performing worse at work than you need to.

Facial Hair

Long gone days when a shaved face was required for work purposes. You now can select whatever facial hairstyle works with your face shape and beard-growing abilities. A patchy, stringy empty beard needs to be shaved off, but a thick, voluptuous beard that’s well-trimmed communicates high testosterone levels to passersby making you more attractive. Properly grooming your beard using different products, such as beard butter, also adds more appeal. Beards also can hide weaker jaw lines or alter the appearance of the shape of your face. Please research what works with your facial structure and employ it. 

Get More Sleep

Most women’s magazines will have an article about this in each issue. Sleep is when your body repairs itself. This means it’s when your body balances its hormones, cleanses the system of toxins that cause bad skin, and rebuilds muscles that have been damaged by exercise. In 1910, the average American was getting 9 hours of sleep each night, and today, it’s closer to six hours. That’s a vast difference that contributes to higher levels of stress and anxiety and can take a toll on people’s appearance if they’re not careful. Aim for at least seven and a half hours of sleep each night. It’s okay to sleep a little less occasionally, but you want to be prioritizing the time of day that your body replenishes itself.

The above tips should help you take better care of your looks like a man. No matter what you’ve been told, there are things you can do to improve your appearance and cultivate a feeling of confidence as you move about your day.
