Make sure your grooming bases are covered to handle the cold days ahead.
With the winter season in full swing, the shorter days and longer nights looming over us, so will our desire to spend just a bit longer in bed, right?
Well, once you manage to win that fight against your warm blankets, dreading that shower, you may need to spare some thought for the ones you will be sharing your space with.
As a way to ensure you face the world with some confidence, we have compiled some grooming tips that should help you survive winter:
Shower hour
That soothing shower doesn’t only shed the sleep from your eyes, make you feel warmer, active and comfortable as you walk out of the bathroom, the effect of that warm water has some added positive effects on your skin; it relaxes you and energises your skin.
Apart from smelling fresh, when you lay all those big over-sized coats and sweaters on a body that has clean and fresh pores, you surely will be guaranteeing yourself a winning day.
We are exposed to the brutal cold and harsh winds during the day which tend to dry our skin, so using proper shower gels can help your skin survive those bad conditions.
Using body washes that contain glycerine or shea butter will help in ensuring your skin stays smooth all day. Imagine dealing with cold weather while your skin is itching from dryness. Not great.
Keep your hair
Unless you are balding, then you may want to keep a bit of hair in winter. Hair that is presentable of course. Although on freezing days, it may not feel like that bit of hair on the head helps, it totally makes a big difference.
Trust us. Imagine how much colder it would really feel if you had no hair at all. Also, try using hair products that will help your hair withstand the drying effect of the harsh winter winds.
Lather up
Luckily we have broken out of an era where a man’s dry skin was deemed a sign of his strong virility. Thanks to changing times, men are now spoilt with a variety of moisturising products specifically for a man’s skin.
Some of the best natural moisturisers contain organic ingredients which keep a guy’ skin smooth. Apply moisturiser that increases firmness in the skin, especially those that do not dry as quick, resulting in your skin losing elasticity.
Luckily, for the unschooled eye, most of the men’s moisturisers are labelled on their containers directing the buyer about the extracts included in the lotion, so read up!
