Most of our female clients are eager to hear advice on looking younger. There’s no doubt that a healthy, vigorous appearance is a big plus for maintaining a strong personal image. And this means paying attention to your weight, the condition of your skin and your hair as well as wearing clothes that don’t “date” you. While women are generally tuned-in to this topic, many of our male clients need to think more about the steps they can take to combat aging. So gentlemen, here are some quick tips you can take this weekend to tune-up.
• Touch of Grey? A little grey hair on a man looks distinguished, right? But there comes a point when grey hair is just aging. If you think you’ve hit that point, an excellent product to use is Touch of Grey. It’s easy to use – takes only a few minutes and you can control the results with additional applications. We like that it still leaves some grey behind so it never looks like a radical change. Most people won’t notice anything specific — they’ll just think you look better! Please note: Don’t mistake this product for the “Just for Men” hair product – same company, but that that one will take out all your grey. Remember, you want Touch of Grey!
• Skin Deep. Think a skin “regimen” is just for women? Think again. A daily routine should include at least the following: 1) A good cleanser (not bar soap). We recommend BC Mens Skincare Set which takes care of exfoliation as well as getting the crud off. 2) Anti-aging products to help firm up, reduce the age spots, and balance oily and dry areas. If you are 40+, we recommend this kit.Yes, it’s expensive, but used as directed (sparingly), you’ll notice great improvement in your skin.
• Protect what you’ve done. Once you’ve gotten your skin in shape, don’t risk more damage. For sun protection, wear a brimmed hat and a good sunscreen. The best sunscreen for the face is Regeneration Advanced C Protection Creme which not only has the SPF you need, but more anti-aging ingredients! Put some on the tips of your ears – a common skin cancer spot for men!
• Manscaping. Even though you’re 30+, you haven’t stopped growing! Have you noticed some heretofore unseen hair sprouting from your ears, nose and a few wild hairs developing in your eyebrows? Well, more and more will likely appear, so get ready to weedwhack! Your barber will take care of your eyebrows if you ask, but the nose and ears you may need to work on yourself. Don’t use scissors – too risky! Invest in a nose and ear hair trimmer like the Panasonic model for $28.99 on Amazon. Features to look for – an integrated light so you don’t miss anything and a unit that’s immersible so water’s not a problem.
OK, take a look in the mirror and get to work on these easy ways to stop the aging clock! Feel free to ask us any questions!
