Use your aftershave in more ways than one
If you latched on to the beard trend, you’re shaving less often, so you have
more aftershave to spare. That’s good because aside from cooling, scenting and
perfecting your chin area, aftershave is a potent warrior in the fight against bacne
(you know, back acne). Generally speaking, aftershave splashes and lotions contain
antiseptic agents to keep germs and bacteria at bay and also act as an astringent,
and that’s exactly what sweat- and acne-prone areas need. Try using a small amount
on the top and back of shoulders and along the upper spine, where zits pop up most
often. Added bonus: You probably won’t need any extra cologne. Try a sophisticated
classic, such as Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio for Men After Shave Balm.
Get whiter teeth even if you
eat tons of bright foods
We’ve all heard how healthy bright foods are, but because
berries and tomato sauce can leave our teeth just as stained
as our shirts, whitening boosters are a must. Try adding a peasized
drop of Truly Radiant by Arm & Hammer Whitening
Booster for a brighter smile, and make sure you keep an extra
tube on hand for stain-related accidents. “The peroxide in the
whitening booster is basically the same technology that’s used to
bleach hair and laundry. A good trick is to carry a teeth-whitening
booster with you in case you spill something and need to remove
the stain in a pinch, especially if you’re wearing white,” says Dr.
Jeffrey Rappaport of LAVAAN Dental Spa in New York City.
Make your body
wash work harder
Honestly, body wash that’s
just body wash is so basic.
Get more out of the handful
you use each day with a
product like Nivea Men
Active3 Body Wash. It
removes sweat and dirt from
your body while also acting
as a rich, lathering shampoo
and shave gel. It’s lightly
scented, too, so if you forget
your fragrance you won’t
feel naked.
