MUST HAVE GROOMING BRANDS

 Its no secret men are paying more attention to how 

they look, so the type of products they using

 should come as no surprise either. Grooming 

is very important because it ensures great hygiene. 

Taking care of yourself is not vain its you being

 health conscious enough to take the necessary

 steps to ensuring you good. Today's post looks at the

 must have grooming products that every man should have

from shaving creams, to skin care products.


Skin Care

Gone are the days skin care routines were only applicable

 to women only, so listen up. It doesn't hurt to have a

 specific skin care range you are obsessed with,

 ok maybe not obsessed but one that you like, 

one that keeps you feeling rejuvenated and

 renewed you need that. Apart from that once

 or twice a month visit to the spa its recommend 

you have products you can use in the comfort 

of you own home.

Tips

'Expensive doesn't mean effective'

Like women purchase products according 

to your skin type eg; dry,oily combination

 skin. Another important thing is

 reading reviews on products before

 deciding which product will be better

 suited for you and your skin care needs. Reviews

 offer informative insight of other people

 experiences with the product,

worthy to look them up.

Face

 Make sure you have your face wash, cleanser

 & moisturizer. Wash your face regularly,

 morning & evening this helps limit the daily

 impurities accumulated throughout the day &

 keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy. 

If you have problem skin that requires more 

attention consult your doctor.

Tips

We recommend cleansing & toning

 rather than regular exfoliating.

 Should you prefer exfoliating do it once a

 week before bed rather than regularly 

 as it strips the skin of its natural oils

which also leads to dryness and irritation.

Brands

Africology, Dermalogica,

Clarins men, Red Dane






Body

Just like your face the body seeks attention too.

 We definitely recommend body scrubbing once in

 a while,why pay so much to go to a spa when you 

can have a spa at the tip of your finger tips

 in the comfort of your own home.

Tips

When it comes to body products

 try all products that consist of

 natural ingredient 

Brands: 

The body shopAfricology, Nivea,

Vaseline






Hands

You read correctly 'hands.' Hand care is also

a part of great grooming, Ever been 

complimented on your hands before?

 If not now you know why, so 

allow us to give you the 'plug' on great

hand products that will get you

 outstanding compliments.

Tips

'Don't forget to sanitize'

Remember that your body parts have

 different skin textures so the skin on

 your face wont be the same skin texture as your

 hands, the sensitivity varies hence the different

 skin care products designed

 to tackle different needs.

Brands

Palmer's, Vasinline, Neutrogena, Cerave






Beard

When it comes to take care of 

your beard,nothings far

 more & maintenance. From shaving creams & 

gels, balms, moisturizers, oils,

 shampoos & conditioners the following brands

don't seem to disappoint.

Tips:

Make sure you also compliment the

 products you use with healthy eating

 habits, plenty of water & exercise.

Brands

Gillette, Long Market Barber

Africology, Jack Black, Lab Series







Hair

A healthy man with healthy

hair. Just like the beard gang men who count

 hair as part of their grooming routine are just

 as justified in ensuring they have the suitable

 products to maintain it. We love the fact that

 men's grooming products keep expanding 

by the day to assist the modern man with the

 suitable products. whether your hair

 is silky smooth, natural,dreads or 

bald hair care is still required

Tips

Don't go with brand names but products 

that actually bring effective results &

the great benefits. Products such as

 clay/paste pomade, shampoo, conditioner, 

oils & serums, gels & sprays the list goes on

Brands

Moroccan oil, Mizani, Jabu Stone,

  Cantu, Truimpth & Disaster







Colognes

As one of the main hygiene products

 smelling good is a huge must. With a lot

 of products to choose from this

 makes it that much harder to pick.

Tips:

 Always go for colognes that have a 

lasting scent rather than an

 overwhelming smell.

Brands

Gucci, Paco Rabanne, Polo

Hugo Boss, Gorgio Armani

Tom Ford
