Wash
This is the backbone of a good men's
grooming routine. Wash your face twice daily
– once in the morning, once in the evening.
Don't skip this. Ever. And upgrade from your
drug store soap bar to a natural face wash
for men designed specifically for men's
skin. Opt for one with gentle cleansers that
remove oil and impurities without stripping
your skin of moisture and natural oils.
Time to break open another secret:
moisturizing your skin is not optional. You
need to use face moisturizer daily – right
after you wash your face. Once all the dirt
and excess oil are off your face, your skin can
best absorb the hydrating ingredients of a
natural face moisturizer for men. Choose a
lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly.
That will prevent oil buildup and excess shine.

Secrets to Always Look Your Best
Guys don't tend to talk much about grooming
and skincare. It's all hush-hush. Like men
don't want to admit they actually care about
how they look. Most guys don't even think
about it, or think that it is something that
only applies to girls.
The truth is, there aren't that many things
that the average guy needs to do to keep
his skin healthy and looking its best. There's
really only a few things you need to know,
and they're all pretty simple! Since they don't
take long, and work wonders for you in the
long term; why not give them a try.
Guys all around the world want to look their
best. Still, it can be hard to figure out just
what you need to do to look good. Have you
asked yourself
Do I really need some crazy 12 step
process to take care of my skin?
Is laser hair removal the only way to
prevent razor bumps and irritation?
Am I just doomed to have wrinkles
younger than most guys?
Fair questions. And – fortunately for you –
there are easy answers. You don't need to
spend thousands of dollars on expensive
treatments. You don't have to surrender to
wrinkly skin and shave irritation either. Use
these men's skincare secrets to looking your
best.
It's All About the Basics
This may be the biggest and most kept secret
in the world of men's grooming. There are
so many new treatments and creams and
toners and… endless products. But you will
never look your best if you don't focus on the
basics.
Have a Basic Skin Care Routine
Come up with your own routine or use this
one. Make it a daily part of your morning
and/or evening routine along with brushing
your teeth– I hope that you brush your teeth
in the morning and evening, that is. Soon,
you'll discover another closely kept secret of
men's grooming: effective skin care doesn't
take much time at all. It only takes about 5
minutes to follow this basic wash-hydrate
routine. But the effects make it look like you
took far longer.
Secrets of a Better Shave
Do you live in pursuit of that elusive "perfect"
shave? If you suffer from constant shave
irritation – razor bumps, razor burn, and
ingrown hairs – you might dread the entire
process of shaving. But these two grooming
secrets can change all that.
Exfoliate before you shave
Splashing your skin with some warm water
is not enough to prepare for a good shave.
You need to do more. Use a men's face scrub
to exfoliate your skin before you reach for
your razor. You'll notice a huge difference.
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and
stands your whiskers up and away from
the skin. You get a closer shave with less
irritation. And ingrown hairs are far less likely
to form if you use face scrub first.
