Here’s a few tips to keep your face looking fresh.

Shaving

For the full Don Draper treatment, head to your local barber for a cut throat shave. Lie back and let the barber turn your stubble into baby-soft skin. From the shaving foam and hot towels to the lotions he’ll splash on your chin, post-shave, a visit to a traditional barber is a great way to get a sleek and smooth look. 

Haircuts

From a traditional old-skool barber shop, a local hairdresser, to the clippers-over-the-bathroom-sink, a great haircut is the number one way to keep yourself looking fresh. Check out lads mags, or put together a Pinterest board of celebrities, models and sportsmen with hairstyles you admire, so you can take a few pics along when you get your haircut.

Thinning hair

If your patch is starting to thin out on top, the worst thing you can do is stress. The best thing to do? Get a great haircut. Hair thinning is inevitable for a lot of guys, and there’s not a great deal you can do about it. You can read more about it here. Count yourself lucky that ultra short and shaved heads are so in right now.    

Waxing

They say every man is an island, and for some, waxing is a mountain they’ll never want to climb. And that’s ok. But for those gentlemen who like smooth fronts, smooth backs and, ahem, smooth bits, waxing is the way to go. Manscaping, as it’s called, is becoming increasingly popular, and there are a number of beauty salons that cater specifically to a male market, so you’ll feel comfortable and among friends. Warning: don’t try it at home. Instead, find a hair removal specialist here, or a beauty salon.

Massage

A regular massage is a great way to feel like a million dollars. From relaxation massage to therapeutic sports massage, it’s up to you and the state of your muscles to know the level of poking and prodding you need. There are loads of different types of massage and masseur – so check out our lowdown before you making a booking.

Facials

More and more men are discovering the pleasure of a facial. With amazing lotions and potions on offer, you’ll emerge from a salon with incredibly soft skin, feeling relaxed, pampered and about 10-years younger. What’s not to like? Find a beauty salon that specialises in men’s treatments here.
