body . If you wear a lot of sandals , keep the nails clipped and rub them with cream every so often . Mani / Pedi ’ s are a must-do . Washing the gunk off your hands and feet will set you a part from the rest of the pack . Trust me on this .
DON ’ T BE AN ASSHOLE It ’ s time to work on your people skills . You don ’ t need to donate every conversation in order to make a good impression . Gay guys in particularly feel the need to over compensate themselves . We think we need to be the life of the party to be liked , but sadly we take it to a bad level that ’ s rarely reversible . Learn the art of communication .
CHOOSE YOUR HAIR DRESSER WISELY I don ’ t have a problem with you going to Super Cuts so long as your hairdresser delivers what you want and knows what works best for you . Your hair is a powerful accessory . As men , we don ’ t have many opportunities to accessorize so experimenting with hair is an incredible thing to do . Your hair should speak a thousand words about who you are inside – never resort to getting the cheap end of the stick because , in the long run , you ’ d only be saving $ 20 – $ 30 . Big deal !
Great barbers and hairstylists are found through word of mouth . Ask a friend ( who ’ s hair you love ) any they might recommend .
SHAVE WITH A SINGLE-BLADE RAZOR Have you ever wondered when looking through your grandfather ’ s old pictures why his face was always clear and smooth ? It might be because he shaved with a single blade . Don ’ t be fooled by the razors on the market today with three , four , even five blades in the cartridge . The only thing they do is slash strands off your chin and basically rid your face of important oils needed to avoid nicks , burns , and irritation .

fuel . Moisturizers are vitamins for your face and skin so take heed and give them attention with your favorite product at least once a day .
KNOW HOW TO WASH YOUR FACE Stop washing your face with bar soap . It clogs up the pores on your face while sucking the natural oil . Whenever you go shopping for facial cleansers , look for the word “ Non-Comedogenic .” It basically means the product deals specifically with the skin on your face . The only days you shouldn ’ t use a face wash are the days when you shave ( you should only use a face scrub on these days to exfoliate ). Of course , moisturizing is mandatory .
WORK ON YOUR POSTURE Your body language says a lot about you . Not only that , but it can either inspire a man to approach or keep his distance . Stop slumping the time , don ’ t curl your chest inside yourself , and never shy away when people are trying to talk to you . Keep your head high and your spine straight . Appear confident and approachable , otherwise you ’ ll be lost in the crowd . If you want to drag your hands on the ground like a monkey , go live in the jungle .
START BEING ACTIVE If waking up , driving to work , coming home , watching to TV , and going to bed is your daily routine , you need a serious makeover . Having an hour of physical activity a day increases your blood flow , feeds your cells ( which give you better skin ), and allows your muscles to be toned . One of the easiest things you can do are pushups , sit-ups , lunges , squats , crunches , even yoga alone at home . These are baby steps that should inspire you to seek more advanced activities . Throwing yourself out there by going to the gym , park , mall , beach , pool , farmer ’ s market , etc . will increase your chances of attracting other people because , surprise , they ’ ll SEE YOU OUT IN THE OPEN !

Not only should you brush your teeth with intense whitening toothpaste , but invest in a box of Crest White Strips . Yes , they probably will run you anywhere from $ 50 – $ 60 but the box lasts a while . Don ’ t go overboard . Just keep them shiny and no matter what your actual teeth look like , you ’ ll make a way better impression .
GET SOME WELL- NEEDED SHUT EYE There ’ s a reason why it ’ s called beauty sleep . Not only will proper sleep reduce puffiness around the eyes ; not having at least 6 and half hours sleep each night causes bloating , lack of energy , and even discolors your skin tone . Shut your laptop off late at night and try to get the sleep you need . Your skin , belly , heart rate , and overall focus will thank you soon enough .
