Beauty for Men

April 15th, 2011
If you browsed the shelves of a pharmacy such as ‘Boots’ or ‘Superdrug’ 15 years ago, you wouldn’t find many beauty products for men. Pretty much just shaving gel, deodorant and maybe some hair styling products. But times have changed, and we should be changing with them. The modern man should look after his skin without worrying about being called effeminate or gay – in fact, women love a guy who takes care of himself. There’s now a whole host of products to make us look good, smell nice and feel great.

One age old problem that men have to deal with is shaving. It can irritate your skin leaving it sore, and aftershave in the old days wasn’t much help. Now there are a whole range of solutions, including balms to cool and moisturise. They will improve the overall quality of your skin and reduce irritation. One tip I learned from a friend of mine was that if you want a really close shave that will leave your face glowing, try using Vaseline instead of shaving gel. Be careful not to slip and cut yourself, but you’ll be amazed at the smooth results. Also a good tip if you’ve run out of your usual aftershave!

It’s important to moisturise areas that get the most exposure to the elements, such as your hands and face. No girl likes holding a hand that’s rough and dry, and flaky skin on the face is not a good look. There are also plenty of solutions for chapped lips (and we don’t mean the bright pink, sticky gloss that girls wear). From the classic chap stick to products like Carmex, using something colourless and odourless will make sure that your lips are soft to the touch.

There are now a lot more hair products on the market than there once were. It’s no longer just gel that keeps your hair in place; there are creams, clays, serums, gels and mousses all designed specifically for men. There are also dyes to cover up the grey hairs; there’s no shame in using these, and if you choose a colour close enough to your natural hair colour then people probably won’t even notice that you’ve done it. They’ll just wonder why you suddenly look 5 years younger!

If you’re a bit baffled by the choice of products, a shop assistant will be able to advise you. You’ll be all the more desirable for it; our English escorts love a clean, stylish man and won’t be able to keep their hands off the new you!
