Metro Male

Men’s Grooming

Most men don’t give attention, time or care to their skin, hair and looks. They believe preening is something that only metro sexual men engage in. However, taking care of yourself is not a crime, so if a women can proudly take care of each and every part of her body then why not a man?

We are not telling you to wax your chest, book a Laser Hair Removal Manchester appointment, or thread your eyebrows! All, we are saying is that if you follow some simple tips then you will not only look better but your personality will get an added polish overall.

You can start by leafing through men’s magazines such as GQ and Esquire, here you can get many tips on how to dress up and carry yourself.

Grooming is not a tough job, you just have to take care of the little things, for example body odor. Spending the whole day in the office can result in bad body odor, especially when the weather is warm. So, for this you need to use a good deodorant and also don’t forget to take a shower after workouts. You wouldn’t want a first date to fall flat just because you smell like a horse!

Second is your hair, use a nice shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type. Get a good hairstyle from a proper salon, and later to maintain the style go for regular trims. You could also give extra sheen to the hair by using hair styling creams, gels etc.

Nothing can be as charming as a newly shaved face, especially if you want members from the opposite gender to fall lock, stock and barrel for you. Before shaving you must clean you face with a cleanser, and then use a sharp razor for a smooth shave. After the shave don’t forget to apply balm or moisturizing cream to avoid redness. Also, slather on a good amount of moisturizing lotion or cream to hydrate your skin and to keep crow’s feet at bay.

A good workout is a must, so whether you hit the gym or do sprints–get that body moving. Last, but not the least, wear clean clothes and most importantly–change those socks daily because you wouldn’t want the ladies to swoon for the wrong reason!

Beauty tips for the new age man

Nowadays, beauty salons for men are increasing in number in equal proportion to that of women. However, men can become “handsomer” by following some minimal beauty tips as explained below (and no, none of these suggestions include medical supplies).

To increase the facial beauty, you can wash your face twice a day with some good face wash cream. These are easily available in the market, and will help you to be free of grime and acne. But, first you must ensure that the chemical content in it is minimal and does not harm the skin.

To make sure you retain moisture in the skin, never use deodorant based body soaps or face washes. Instead, use skin toners that contain Aloe Vera or Vitamin E. By using razors that have strips of Aloe, men can save their selves from after shave burns.

Also, you can apply homemade face packs that suit your skin. Though most men ignore it, sunscreen is one product that should be slathered on in heaps. After all, men’s skin is not immune to the sun!

Hair on the ear lobes is a big NO-NO! You should get rid of these, unless you don’t want a girl to even touch you with a barge pole! Same goes for nostril hair that unnecessarily sticks out. So, put that scissor to good use.

Having body massages on regular basis or on weekends can be very relaxing as well as good for improving the blood circulation. It will also help you to tone your body. Exercises and a healthy diet is a must to keep you in good shape.

Wearing clean and well ironed clothes go a long way in giving that extra polish to your personality. And, never forget to spray on some perfume or deodorant when you are stepping out of the house.

These simple tips will help you to be “well turned out”.

4 Things That Attracts A Woman To A Man

In general women are more perceptive than men. So it is not an easy job when it comes to attract a woman. There is more than one factor that plays an important role in this regard. Men often think women prefer good looking men. But this is a mere generalization. There are four aspects which can be considered as the key determining factors to attracting a woman.

Men with strong personality: Most women feel attracted towards a man who posses a strong personality. If you are confident about yourself, that will create an immense effect upon her mind.

Men with higher status: if the social status of a man is higher than the woman, if he is very valuable to his social circle, his friends or family this causes them be interested in him. Now how would we define status? A powerful man always overlooks others, and that seems to be very attractive to women. Women admire the men who have power and influence in the society. It becomes irrelevant whether he is good looking or not. Power brings some sorts of confidence in their body language which is more important to a woman.

Women like energetic, witty and honest guys: This is one of the vital points that a woman seek in a man. If you are youthful, vibrant and always make others cheerful at your attractive presence then you are surely going to hit the bull’s eye.

Be genuine. Apart from all these traits you should always give special emphasis on honesty as this is the fundamental aspect which helps to keep the charm forever. Women always have special inclination towards the genuine person, if you are trying to impress a lady by making false gestures or looking like you should be in a Botox ad, it will be clearly visible and completely unattractive. So just be yourself, and try to gain more value by upgrading yourself.

Make sure to pack your shaving cream

I recently stayed at my girlfriends house for the weekend. I got up in the morning brushed my teeth, took a shower, and I was ready to shave. I reached into my overnight bag only to find my shaving cream was missing. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to run to the drug store with me. I explained that my shaving cream was missing from my bag. She went in to the bathroom and grabbed a container of shaving gel and gave it to me.

I looked at it strangely and decided well I would give it a try. I mean shaving cream or shaving gel how different could they really be? I learned a great lesson from that weekend. First I should always double check my overnight bag before leaving the house for a trip. Second I learned that not all shaving products are created equal. I absolutely love my Gillette shaving cream. I love it even more after my experience that weekend.

It leaves my skin soft and smooth. It never breaks me out and I don’t have to use aftershave after shaving with it. The foam is nice and thick and I don’t have to use half of the bottle to shave my face either. I will be buying extra and leaving it at my girlfriends house or maybe in my car so it’s not so presumptuous. I left that weekend looking like a high school kid with acne from all of the bumps. The next time I am with out my Gillette shaving cream I will just not shave at all. I would rather have a five o’clock shadow or even a beard than have a broken out face. I am sold on Gillette shaving cream for life I think. I can’t think of anything else I would use.

Do men need beauty regimens?

I know that most men do not want to talk about skin care or aging. After all men just naturally age gracefully right? Actually men really need to take care of their skin just as well as women if not better. A beauty regimen is the perfect answer for this. I am not talking about walking down the aisle full of pink and purple bottles and putting lavender smelling lotion on your skin.

There are many companies now that have full skin care lines for men. Most of these lines either have no smell at all or have a manly fragrance. There is nothing wrong with a man taking good care of himself and his body. Your skin is included in basic hygiene and is one of the first things that people notice about you. There is a lot of talk about men being metro sexual these days. I just want to say that having a beauty regimen does not mean you are metro. Men who spend a lot of time in the gym and take care of their bodies toning and building muscle are not considered metro right?

So taking care of your skin and your hygiene should not be considered metro either. If you take the time to take care of yourself I promise that the women in your life will take notice. If you are one of those men that are always in a hurry and think that you have no time for skin care that is not true. You can wash your face in the shower, shave, use toner, and then put on moisturizer. Chances are this is just adding one step to your routine. Most toners contain alcohol and there for can be used instead of your aftershave. So next time you think I would like to take better care of my skin but I don’t have time remember that you do. Your skin will thank you by aging more gracefully.

How Men Can Avoid Ingrown Hairs After Shaving

Many men look in the mirror after shaving and see small bumps on their cheeks and neck. These blemishes are not only unpleasant to look at but also can be irritating to the touch. These ingrown hairs or razor bumps are the source of much rage with men when they are trying to look their best. But how can ingrown hairs be avoided? Well short of laser hair removal, below are some great tricks to help battle that burn.

As the name suggests, ingrown hairs occur when the hair follicle is cut leaving a sharp edge behind. This sharp edge curls back as it grows, returning into the same hair follicle, resulting in itchiness and redness. Sometimes, the colour of the hair can be seen through the skin, adding an extra annoying element.

Here are a few tips when shaving to avoid ingrown hairs:

1. Shave in the same direction that your hair grows. Just like cutting a steak, go with the grain.

2. Always use a clean, new razor. Yes, it is cheaper and easier to use your disposable blade five to ten times. But a jagged blade will further create the sharp edges to your beard follicles.

3. Wash your face thoroughly with hot water. This will open your pores and allow the hair follicles to come out more naturally, and will also help exfoliate your skin. Plus, it is a much more pleasant way to shave!

4. Apply a warm cloth to your face for a few minutes. This will soften your skin and, once again, open your pores.

5. Invest in decent shaving equipment. If ingrown hairs are common, maybe your disposable razor just isn’t sensitive enough for your skin. A decent razor could be the difference between a clean, blemish free face and one marred by ingrown hairs.

6. Try shaving in the shower. It works for women! The constant flow of warm water, and the fact that your skin is as clean as it can be when you’re in the shower, will help avoid the unsightly ingrown hairs.

Anti Wrinkle Cream For Men: 5 Tips For Looking Younger

Skin care and anti-wrinkle creams are usually associated with middle-aged women who try to look a few years younger than they appear. But ever increasingly, men are becoming more and more interested in their physical appearance and specifically the appearance of their skin.

Luckily for these men, there are several products that will help you look and feel younger; most notable of these products is anti-wrinkle cream.

There are plenty of companies that offer anti-wrinkle creams. Follow these steps for effective uses and promising results.

1) The ingredients in anti-wrinkle creams can often produce the opposite effects desired. When choosing a cream, read the ingredients. Ensure that anti-oxidants, vitamins, Coenzyme Q10, and other natural ingredients are present. These natural ingredients will not damage the skin in the long term like other chemical ingredients.

2) Ensure that the cream can be used on any type of skin. If the cream irritates certain skin types, the odds are the cream has many unnatural ingredients.

3) Synthetic ingredients must be avoided. These ingredients will surely dry out the skin creating adverse effects.

4) Anti-wrinkle creams should target the three main causes of aging: lower levels of hyaluronic acid, loss of collagen and elastin, and finally oxidation. Check the labels and verify that the cream addresses these areas.

5) Anti-oxidants help moisturize and rejuvenate your skin, making you feel and look younger.

Of course, anti-wrinkle creams will not perform miracles. Certain lifestyle changes are needed in order to receive the desired effects of an anti-wrinkle cream, such as quitting smoking, drinking less alcohol, and getting more sleep. All three of these acts can cause your skin to look older than it actually is. Drink more water and try to live a healthier life.

If you choose to use an anti-wrinkle cream, follow these steps to ensure the desired effects. I suggest consulting a dermatologist, or even your family doctor to find what other options are available to you.

The Correct Way to Use a Face Scrub

It can be rightly said that men are absolutely clueless when it comes to even the most basic beauty product. And this goes for even a simple thing like a face scrub! Most men do not really know how to use the face scrub correctly, and quite often end up with a red and sore face!

So in order to avoid this mess, we will tell you how to use the scrub properly so that you don’t end up looking like a tomato.

To begin with, what is basically a scrub and what is its purpose? Well, a scrub is generally used to remove the built up of dead skin on the face. Accumulation of dead skin makes the skin look dull; also the pores get blocked by it. Scrubbing also facilitates shaving, because it lifts up the stubble.

Now that we are more aware about the purpose of a scrub, how do we go about using it? It is actually quite simple. Squeeze a small coin size amount of scrub on your palm and add some water to it. Use this on your face in a circular motion. Do not rub too hard, it is your skin after all. Pay more attention to the cheeks, chin and the under chin area too. Keep away from the under eye area, because that is a delicate spot. Don’t forget to scrub your forehead. All of this should not take you more than 2 minutes. If you keep on scrubbing more than this, your skin will start to feel raw. And you don’t want this! You should end the process by washing your face with water, until your skin feels totally clean.

This process should be repeated two times in a week, but definitely not more than that. So don’t be over zealous while scrubbing your face, and limit the use to twice a week and you shall be fine.

I need some assistance on this one, I was talking to my cousin the other evening and she asked me to visit this site on vaser liposuction London. I believe she is actually mulling over getting this done. How do I tackle the subject of saying that she shouldn’t really go through with it and she should try a healthier alternative of losing weight first

Mens Beauty Tips – It Is Not All About The Woman

Beauty is not all about the woman anymore. Men have certain appearance rules also that should be followed. Below you will find some helpful tips on keeping up on your sexy male appearance.

Gray hair is a problem with both men and women. Typically, a woman doesn’t let it get to that point. At the first sight of a gray strand, she is out buying a box of her favorite hair coloring. This should be no different for men either (if they do not like the gray look). Some men look very sexy with gray hair, but for those who choose not to wear it, color your hair before the grays get out of control. This will keep the shock factor down. If you are balding, you should consider a very short cut or even go bald which is definitely in nowadays.

Men should not neglect their skin either. There are some high quality skin products out there designed specifically for the man, however, there is a basic rule of thumb when it comes to mens skin care.

1. Clean face thoroughly to prevent acne and other blemishes.
2. Use a quality skin toner to control shine and tighten pores.
3. Use a moisturizer to smooth the face and prevent it from getting dry.

The hair and skin are very important when it comes to appearance, but so are the teeth. Keep your teeth pearly white by visiting your dentist periodically for some laser whitening. You can whiten them yourself by purchasing a teeth whitening tip, however, these kits are not as effective.

Get yourself to the gym and work off that beer belly. Also, a sexy smelling cologne really weakens a girl. Find one that suits your personality and splash it on daily.

These are the essentials to proper male beauty tips. Women are not the only people who need to worry about how they look. Nothing is more attractive than a nice smelling, snazzy dressed and clean faced guy.

Don’t let nicks and cuts caused by shaving get the better of you!

One of the regular after shave phenomena happens to be the awful nicks and cuts. There is hardly a person who has not experienced this. The quest for the perfect shave, usually leads to cuts. And sometimes even being too careful does not help.

Trying to stop the bleeding by dabbing it with toilet paper is not really beneficial. At the most, it it soaks up the blood but does not really heal. These “little” wounds need to be treated adequately, however small they are.

There are ways to treat these quite effectively.

Use an alum block

An alum block works like a miracle on nicks. A lot of people these days probably won’t even know what this is. In fact, the invention and introduction of the aftershave balm has made the alum block into somewhat of a curio. But, the miraculous healing quality of the alum block cannot be and should not be ignored.

Once you are done with the shaving, you should moisten this bloack and apply it all over the shaved area. It stops the bleeding, redness and irritation. It plays the role of a healing antiseptic. Using it is one of the best ways to deal with any cuts on your face.

The wonders of the petroleum jelly

You may not know that apart from treating rough skin, petroleum jelly is really effective in treating nicks and cuts. All you need to do is dab a little bit of it on the affected area. Petroleum jelly also acts like an astringent.

A styptic pencil can be useful

You can moisten these pencils and use them on the nicks. However take care not to apply more than the needed amount. These pencils are quite handy and beneficial.

Apart from these effective treatments, you could also apply aftershave creams that contain soothing agents, allantoin and aloe vera.

All these will ensure a quick healing time for your nicks and cuts.

Before I go, I need to relish in a new purchase. I have just bought the smartest saucony running shoes that I have ever owned. Toronto Marathon, here I come!
