Learn how with these 5 Men’s Grooming Tips:

Once a week use a light exfoliator instead of a gentle cleanser to clean your pores of grease and dead skin. You don’t want to strip your skin of all of its essential oils, so be mindful not to over exfoliate. One way to tell if you are overdoing it is how dry your face feels. If your skin feels tight or is starting to flake, do not exfoliate as those may be signs of dry skin. Wash your face daily to help keep dirt out after exfoliating.

After your face is clean and clear, use a moisturizer to add important nutrients back into your skin. Be sure that the moisturizer you choose has an SPF of at least 30 to protect from harmful UV rays. UV rays cause sunburns and could even lead to several types of skin cancer. Moisturize your skin and even your lips. ChapStick or a lip moisturizer will keep your lips soft and subtle for maximum kiss-ability.

Scruff is in, but how much is too much? Believe it or not your beard can make or break a date. Use a handheld or electric shaver and clean up the sides of your beard. Make sure if you are planning to shave it all off that you give yourself enough time before your date to let little cuts that you may have incurred heal. An electric shaver can also be used to trim up along your hairline between haircuts.

If you have facial hair it is essential to keep it neat and orderly. In addition to a shave, you can wax or tweeze any unwanted hairs. Sometimes waxing your eyebrows can look too manicured so tweezing is the best option. If you find that you are constantly trying to manage unwanted hair, consider whether laser hair removal is right for you.

Let’s face it dating can be nerve wracking and sweat inducing. Make sure you give off the scent you want. Dab a favorite cologne on the back and along the side of your neck, as well as on the inside of your wrists. Make the girls swoon.
