Today we are talking about something really important because so many dudes are messing up their faces without even knowing it. Let us get right into the list and fix these simple mistakes today so you can look your absolute best.
Using Multi Blade Razors On Your Face
A lot of guys think using razors with like five or six blades gives a closer shave but many experts say it actually causes tons of irritation and razor burn. The blades can pull the hair and cut it below the skin surface which often leads to those painful ingrown hairs that nobody wants to deal with.
Skipping A Daily Facial Moisturizer
It is crazy how many guys still do not use a basic moisturizer because they assume their skin is already too oily. Skipping this step can actually make your face produce way more oil to compensate and that might leave you looking shiny and breaking out more often.
Neglecting Your Cuticles And Nail Beds
Your hands are considered a huge part of your grooming routine and biting your nails or leaving raw cuticles can look pretty bad when you meet people. Taking just a few minutes to trim things up and moisturize your hands often makes a huge difference in how clean you look.
Shaving Body Hair Without Trimming First
If you try to shave long chest hair with a normal razor it is probably going to pull the hair and leave your skin totally red and angry. People usually recommend using a trimmer first to take the bulk down before you even think about putting a razor on your body.
Washing Your Face With Body Soap
Body wash is generally made for the tougher skin on your body so using it on your face might strip away all the good oils you need. Doing this every single day can leave your face feeling super tight and dry which some people say speeds up the aging process.
Forgetting To Apply Sunscreen Every Day
A lot of guys only wear sunscreen when they go to the beach but it is known that the sun damages your skin every single time you step outside. Making sunscreen a daily habit is considered one of the best ways to keep your face looking young and healthy as you get older.
Taking Extremely Hot Showers Daily
I know a steaming hot shower feels amazing in the morning but that super hot water is said to secretly melt away your natural skin barrier. Turning the temperature down to lukewarm helps keep your skin from getting itchy and flaky during the day.
Popping Pimples With Unwashed Hands
It is so tempting to just pop a zit when you see one in the mirror but doing it with dirty fingers just pushes bacteria deeper into your pores. This usually makes the pimple way bigger and it can sometimes leave a permanent dark mark on your face.
Sleeping Without Washing Your Face First
Think about all the dirt and sweat and pollution that builds up on your face after a long day of working and running around. Going to sleep without washing all that stuff off is known to clog your pores overnight and you will probably wake up with a fresh breakout.
Scrubbing Your Face Way Too Hard
Some dudes think they need to scrub their face like they are cleaning a dirty car tire to get it truly clean. Using harsh scrubs or rubbing aggressively often causes micro tears in your skin which leads to redness and makes you look constantly flushed.
Sleeping On The Same Dirty Pillowcase
Your pillowcase collects so much dead skin and hair product every single night while you are catching your sleep. If you do not change it out once a week you are basically rubbing your clean face into a pile of old bacteria for eight hours straight.
Spraying Heavy Cologne Right On Skin
Fragrances have a lot of alcohol and strong chemicals that can actually irritate your neck if you have sensitive skin or just shaved. It is usually better to spray it from a distance so it does not cause an itchy red rash right where people are looking at you.
Not Drinking Enough Water Every Day
You can buy all the fancy grooming products in the world but if you are dehydrated it is often said your skin will look dull and tired. Drinking plenty of water is believed to flush out the bad stuff and keep your skin looking plump and fresh from the inside out.
