Gone are the days when men used to shy away from skincare and grooming products, when the only skincare product that they knew of was a moisturiser. Recent research statistics have revealed that men use around 11 personal care products daily.
However, if you are someone who is still clueless about choosing the right products for your grooming, then don’t worry! This blog will introduce you to the 7 essentials for a men's grooming kit. Let’s dive into these one by one:
Face wash
A man’s face is an integral part of his personality, thus no grooming kit is ever complete without a face wash. But not just any face wash will do, choose one based on your skin concerns for instance if you have an oily skin, go for an anti-acne face wash that will help balance sebum production and clear acne breakouts. If you're a frequent traveller, choose an anti-pollution face wash to protect your skin from outdoor damage.
Moisturiser
Here comes men’s favourite skincare product that has been around for ages but with the passage of time it is important to keep up with the changing trends. Go for a skin tint moisturiser which does not just hydrate the skin fulfilling the role of a traditional moisturiser but also color corrects, hiding those blemishes and uneven skin tone. Trust us, you are going to love your looks more after using it.
Sunscreen
And now for the holy grail for the skin, you can never, we say never, skip sunscreen from your grooming routine. With the constant threats of UV and blue light damage, it is essential to use an SPF 50 PA+++ sunscreen to protect your skin from damage. The Sun, in addition to causing tanning, also causes free radical damage which can lead to the formation of fine lines & wrinkles early. So, do wear sunscreen and reapply it every 2-3 hours maximum sun protection.
Trimmer
A trimmer is surely a man’s best friend, it is that one grooming essential which is necessary for styling. Choose a beard trimmer wisely based on the kind of look that you desire. Not just trimming the beard is important but cleaning it is equally important too, use a beard wash to clean your beard at least twice a week. Do not use a face wash for your beard as your beard needs that extra care to clean the skin under it too.
Pro-Tip: Use a Beard Serum for Beard Styling
If you are still into the old ‘trimming is enough' mindset, then you need to upgrade it with a beard serum. It does not just help tame the unruly beard but also helps with its growth.
Hair Wax
Styling those hair locks is crucial for a refined charismatic look. The way you style your hair speaks volume about your personality, so choose your hair styling wax carefully. You can go for a powder hair wax that has hair care ingredients that do not just help with instant volume and hair styling but nourish your hair too with natural ingredients. It is a quick solution to breathe life into your dull, lifeless hair.
Fragrance
In addition to the skincare and hair & beard styling, another important grooming essential is the fragrance that you wear. It is the first thing that people notice about you when you walk into a room, give them a reason to remember you by choosing a lasting scent that signals your arrival and stays long after you have passed the crowd.
Hair Removal Spray
Coming off to the last grooming kit essential, it is that one product that helps elevate your grooming game. The long hours that you spend in the gym for maintaining those perfect abs are useless if you are not pairing it up with a good hair removal spray. No more worrying about pain, burns and scars now you can flaunt that sculpted body without any hassle.
