Men’s toiletry kit is no more limited to only shaving cream, deodorant and toothpaste. It also contains oil-absorbing face powder and brow gel. Men are spending more time on grooming. Facials, manicures, pedicures, and serums are no longer limited to women, as men realize the importance of paying more attention to personal beauty.

Make-up for men isn’t about looking like a drag queen, with deep red lips and kohl-lined eyes. It is all about finding the right made-for-men products and using them to put your

best face forward. It is also about highlighting your existing features, applying hand cream and lip balm and the clever use of concealor to disguise under-eye bags and puffiness and grooming the eyebrows.

There are a variety of masculine beauty products including bronzer and face masks available in mega stores out of which the make up products from Ken, Jean Paul Gaultier, Clinique have become a common part of the male grooming.

KenMen offers a line of products including tints, body and face highlighter and skin correcting sticks known as concealer. KenMen is also known for the best-selling bronzer.

Wearing make up (unless you look feminine!) won’t compromise your masculinity.

We have talked a lot about improving your physique and becoming more manly. In this article, we take up the case of grooming. Read on to get the grooming schedule for you.

Scrub your face the night before shaving: A lot of men don’t know that shaving actually exfoliates the skin. Hence, they use facial scrubs right before they shave. We say that it is better to use a scrub the night prior to shaving. This will avoid the extra exasperation of your skin.

Shave 10 minutes after waking up: When you wake up, you will notice that your face is puffy. This is due to the build up of fluid overnight. So, leave it 10 minutes to settle so that you will have a smoother surface to work with.

Apply your cologne before you moisturize: Apply your cologne to your skin first. Wait for a few minutes and then apply the moisturizer. This will ensure that your fragrance lasts longer and leaves you smelling fresh all day long.  

Style your hair before it’s dry: The best time to apply hair gel is when your hair is damp. However, hair that is too wet will dilute your product making it looking horrible. If the gel is applied on too dry hair, you will look like you got out bed on the wrong side! So, towel dry your hair and wait for 10 minutes before applying the hair gel.

Treat a spot before bed: Got a blemish? Apply your cream or treatment before bed. This gives it time to go to work without the skin having to deal with pollution and sun exposure.

Use an anti-aging cream at night: It sounds girlish but, you should never miss this out. This is because the skin switches to repair mode at night, which makes it the best time to reverse skin damage. We all will grow older one day. So don’t ignore the use of an anti-aging cream at night.
