THE IMPORTANCE OF MALE GROOMING

Daily grooming should be an essential part of your self-care routine. It helps you project confidence, power and respect. As a leader, you get one chance to make a stellar first impression and every day you need to maintain that positive impression. Your clothing is just a single part of your overall appearance. Every aspect of your look contributes to how you feel and how you are perceived. From top to bottom here are some grooming tips to enhance your style.

Skincare
A good skincare regimen will help reduce signs of aging like wrinkles and bags under your eyes. Let's face it; who doesn’t want to roll back the clock a bit? As we age our skin loses hydration, brightness and collagen, causing wrinkles. Look for products that use high-quality ingredients designed to help replenish your skin's youthful appearance. It is important to start and end your day with a facial care routine.

Exposure to the sun over time can contribute to wrinkles, blemishes, and hyperpigmentation. Prolonged and repeated exposure can have an impact on your long-term health. To prevent premature aging and reduce your risk of skin cancer protect yourself by using sunscreen with a minimum SPF rating of 30. Your skin will thank you.

Harsh chemicals and ingredients may damage your skin. Avoid products with too much alcohol, they will dry your skin out and contribute to wrinkles and facial blemishes. Use your grooming products in moderation since, even when they are high quality, less is more. You want your skin to absorb the ingredients, not suffocate under heavily slathered layers.

Wash your face with a mild facial cleanser twice each day. After washing, moisturize your skin. Exercise moderation with an exfoliating routine, once a day should be more than enough to keep your skin healthy and blemish-free.

Hair
A quality cut is just the start. Work with your stylist to cultivate a look and style that projects success. A high-calibre cut leaves you looking and feeling fantastic on the day of your cut. Maintaining that polished look between cuts can be challenging. It requires you to have the proper products and tools for maintaining that look once you are home, it's just as important as the cut itself.

For daily maintenance select products with natural ingredients to help maintain your look. Products that rely on chemical formulations can often dry your scalp and damage your hair. A product like Remy Ricos Matte Clay will provide a non-greasy matte finish that will have you looking your best all day long.

Washing your hair too often strips it of the natural oils that help moisturize your scalp. The longer your hair is the more important it becomes to not over-wash. A few times a week is sufficient for most hair types. When washing your hair, a high-quality shampoo is essential.

Shampoo removes excess oils and dirt from your hair. Use a first-rate product with natural ingredients like Remy Ricos Shampoo that cleanses and moisturizes at the same time. For salon-quality results at home try using a moisturizing conditioning agent like Remy Ricos Conditioner to help your hair be more manageable.

Your barber uses quality products to leave you looking your best, so maintaining that look between cuts requires those same tools. Having products that won’t leave greasy buildup or residue is beneficial. There are many styling products to consider; Remy Ricos Matte Clay, Remy Ricos Pomade and Remy Ricos Curl Cream are just the tip of the styling iceberg. Ask your stylist which product will maintain your look between cuts.

Facial Hair
Your facial hair reflects your style and appearance. If you are clean-shaven then you need to find the best razer for your skin. There are many options ranging from electric, cartridge, safety and straight razors. Each option's effectiveness will depend on the sensitivity of your skin, the density of your beard growth and the type of facial hair you are trying to maintain. Shaving creams and gels; like Remy Ricos Shaving gel, hydrate and lubricate your skin as you shave.

Beard care begins with a quality beard and face wash that doesn’t dry out your skin and strip away essential oils. Beards differ from your hair both in texture and composition. Whether it is a scruff, goatee, moustache or full beard your grooming routine is essential. A product like Remy Ricos Beard Oil will hydrate your skin and soften your beard. Remy Ricos Beard Balm helps smooth out any of those unruly hairs.

Clothes
Dress for the life you want to live. Whether your day involves the boardroom, a night on the town or an intimate dinner for two your clothing says a lot about how you view yourself and the people in your orbit. The right outfit can convey a sense of authority, respect, confidence and leadership.

You should always consider the occasion when selecting clothes. You certainly don’t want to wear a suit for a day at the beach. Your attire should be suited to the occasion. A crisp tailored suit says you’re a man of quality taste and refinement while a casual outfit says you’re ready for some fun. No matter the occasion your personal style will shine through.
