Go with the grain of your hair, not against it.
For most guys, whiskers on the face grow "down." So shaving downward on the face removes most of the hair. Shaving against the grain (or upward) can cause rashes or red bumps.

When manscaping, don’t go over an area repeatedly, as this can cause irritation. For a stray hair you can’t catch, use a pop-up trimmer, or tweezers. Be especially careful of repeat strokes in sensitive areas such as the bikini line. From: velvetdragon.com Clean the hair off your ears and neck. This is something your barber can do for you monthly that gives the appearance of good grooming. The sight of long ear hairs, or neck hair going into the collar of your shirt, is never appealing.

This exfoliation removes dead cells and impurities that can cause acne, ingrown hairs and infection. It will also smooth and renew your complexion. From: about.com You may save a few minutes by using an electric razor, but it’s a fact that a wet blade gives the closest shave and that’s what we’re all looking for.

Spice up your outfits with a bit of color, and no one will notice that you wear the same suit jacket to work every day. From: ties-necktie.com If your beard is graying or a dramatically different color from the hair on your head, there are dyes specifically formulated for facial hair that are safe to use at home. Follow the instructions on the package carefully to ensure good, even coverage and never use beard color immediately after a shower. From: about.com A smooth face doesn’t start and end with shaving cream. Use pre- and post-shave products. You’ll notice fewer ingrown hairs, less razor-burn irritation, and longer-lasting shaves. From: mensfitness.com Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm – rather than hot – water. From: mayoclinic.com You can start defining your beard line as early as 2 weeks after you’ve started to let your beard grow out. Some people recommend starting only after a month but you can certainly do so much earlier. It depends on the growth rate of facial hair and the type of beard you want. From: bestbeardtrimmer.org |
