"How often should a man look after himself?"

As often as cleaning your shoes"

GQ Magazine

The emergence of metrosexuals, a relatively new type of men, is causing growing irritation among the fair sex around the world. A metrosexual purchases expensive cosmetics and designer clothes. He understands fashion trends as well as Kate Moss. However, the reasons for this phenomenon are not so mysterious - modern women earn no less than men. Men are gradually losing the function of "earner" and can, without a twinge of conscience, allow themselves to visit beauty salons and shop in boutiques. Macho with rough palms and gnawed nails is a hero of the past.

But if your partner has not yet begun his evolutionary path of metrosexual (the word "metrosexual" entered the English language several years ago. Metrosexual is a male who lives mainly in large cities. Has a pronounced artistic flair and aesthetic perception. Spends a lot of money, time and effort to improve your appearance and an exquisite lifestyle), you should take control of the process - start performing cosmetic procedures yourself. However, most men are still sure: self-care is hard work.

So, as a man to take care of himself - we take the initiative into our own hands.

To begin with, put your prince in the bath, massage with a washcloth, ideally a steam bath. If possible, try a massage with a scrub, such as the Elemis Devils Mint Body Scrub. This gel scrub contains extracts of seaweed and peppermint. Cleans and refreshes. Ideal for problem areas such as feet, knees and elbows.

Another male problem is enlarged pores and, as a result, comedones. Therefore, peeling is necessary, but men are advised to do it no more than once a month. An alternative is the Baxter Of California Clarifying Clay Mask. Formulated with a special formula for men, this mask deeply cleanses pores and absorbs excess sebum. Apply in a thin layer, allow to dry and rinse with warm water.

Now it's the turn of the moisturizing mask. Nourishing masks become relevant after 40 years. There are more sebaceous and sweat glands in men and, by the way, sweat with sebum is a very effective nutrient.

By the way, carrying out such cosmetic bath procedures is also a good love prelude. Such a sweetheart "a la David Beckham" just begs to be hugged, right?

But back to beauty

We continue to answer the question: how can a man take care of himself? By nature, men's skin is about 2 times thicker than women's. The skin of the neck of the face is usually of four main types: normal (in about 15% of men); dry (less than 10% of men); oily (in 25% of men); mixed (more than 50% of men). Men's skin is firmer and more elastic. It has more sebaceous and sweat glands. In addition, the pH of men's skin is more acidic, which makes it quite vulnerable. The sensitivity of the skin is increased by frequent shaving, and inaccuracies in adherence to a diet, and stress, and a bad environmental situation. As already mentioned, men's skin is more oily, prone to frequent acne breakouts, so you need to take good care of it.

Regular care is not only a rejuvenating effect, but also the prevention of facial irritation. Shaving irritates the skin, resulting in redness, flaking and other unwanted reactions. For daily care, suggest the British hit - Clinique M Lotion. This masculine gentle lotion moisturizes dry areas, softens the skin after shaving, and refreshes it at the same time. Recommended for use in the morning and at night after cleansing.

It is inherent in male nature to get carried away, especially in bars and the Internet. And for some reason, far past midnight. After a sleepless night, the following will help your boyfriend return a decent look:

Soin Revitalisant Complet Lancome Homme is an intensive revitalizing face cream. At night, intensely moisturizes the skin.

Melts on Contact Face Gel Kenzoki also guarantees a fresh look in the morning. Kenzo is an energizing face gel with bamboo leaf extract. Tones and slightly lifts the skin.

Midnight Secret Issima. Guerlain is an overnight revitalizing lotion that gives your skin time to rest in a couple of hours of sleep.

In general, like women, men should also choose their cosmetics by skin type, etc. And finally there was plenty to choose from.

The largest cosmetic brands produce extensive lines for men:

Clarins Men, Shiseido Basala, Clinique, Aramis, Chanel, Lancome, Vichy, Neutralia and Phytomer.

Prestigious luxury brands are even trying to go further: men should start using cosmetics that help fight skin aging. An example of this is the Aramis Lab Series. Decleor launched the first aromatherapy skincare line for men. The French company Nickel has presented a body cream that helps to disappear the folds in the waist area in men.

Jean-Paul Gaultier went even further: in his first cosmetic line, Tout Beau, he offered men makeup products that, according to the designer, "will enhance masculinity and enhance facial features." "To look beautiful is the legitimate desire of any person," says Gaultier. "The face should radiate freedom, prosperity, strength and energy. This is a completely different level of male beauty." Here you will find not only the most successful products from the Le Male aroma line - shower gel, deodorant, soap - but also a complete line of skin care products. It includes Smooth Face Moisturizer with Reflective Particles, Better Than Tan Moisturizing Bronzer, Sharp Eyes Pen, Sneaky Kiss in three shades and the unique Strong Nail Pen.

Among the mass-market lines in Russia, Nivea Q10 For Men and the adidas care line with aromas are especially popular.

From the available means to maintain an excellent look of your man, the following are suitable:

- washing your face with ice cubes, with a pronounced "crumpled face" effect, a tightening mask is recommended (R-Flash, Dior Capture);

- rubbing puffy eyelids with ice, plus a little cream against bags and dark circles under the eyes.

So, they answered the question: how can a man take care of himself and his beloved seem to have been brought in order. The final touch is a perfume with an unobtrusive scent.

Perfume manufacturers have relied on a man who lives in a city with an active lifestyle. Therefore, the latest fragrances are characterized by harmony, freshness and purity.

For example, exquisite classics - Marc Jacobs Men. Stylish scent. Woody notes are harmoniously combined with notes of oriental spices.

Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label - for 100% athletic men.

L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme is noble and elegant, slightly old-fashioned, but at the same time bright and sensual. Woody fresh, with notes of lemon and bergamot, jasmine, sandalwood and bitter cocoa beans. Now just try to stop loving such a well-groomed and fragrant treasure!

P. S

If you go back three hundred years ago, then you can remember that then men flaunted in powdered wigs, glued flies and applied tons of decorative cosmetics. It seems that male beauty is making a giant cycle, and the strong half of this century will still have to take care of their appearance. But how much are they willing to follow the fashion? Aftershave? Of course! Face cream? Let's admit. Body Scrub? Wherever it went. Hair styling gel? Why not! Pencil and nail polish a la Borya Moiseev? Please dismiss.

Do you agree with me?
