Fashion Mistakes You Must Drop

You may think that you're being masculine by adhering to these fashion misrules but unfortunately you'll be doing yourself a disservice by observing them. Here they're.

No Moisturizer Rules

There is a big problem in not using a moisturizer and one and the biggest is the possibility of developing a scaly and dry skin that is unsightly. I understand that we all need a thick skin to protect us from the harsh environmental conditions but this doesn't mean you should abandon the moisturizer completely.

Doing this will jeopardize your chances of fighting wrinkles and other aging lines. The male skin may appear tough but it's also fickle that a dash in the shower will leave it looking dry and cracked. Irritation from shaving only worsens the situation and a good light moisturizer with a bit of SPF will go a long way in replenishing the lost water content and also sooth the skin and protect it from the weather elements.

Overdoing Cologne

We all agree that too much of anything is dangerous and this applies to cologne too. Several extra spritzes will definitely turn even the most subtle of scents into noxious fumes. All that is required when applying cologne is one or two sprays in the right places which are behind the ears, the wrist and basically the known pulse points and you're all good.

Long, Dirty Nails

Well, it's very unlikely though startling at the same time to see a well groomed man with long, cracked nails. Nails must always be clipped short but overdoing this to expose the nail bed is also a problem in it's own right - besides this can be extremely painful. By now you should be well over your reservations concerning manicures and pedicures. Regular professional nail care will ensure that you have even nail growth and also help ensure you keep fungal infections at bay.

Commit to doing your nails every six to four weeks and most importantly have the cuticles trimmed down. You can do away with the polish.

Reusing disposable razors

This is a big problem experienced by pro. shavers too. Remember that using a blade past it's expiration date can wreak havoc to your face by leaving burned, bleeding skin in it's wake. Dispose all disposable blades and get a fresh supply. Most modern razors have an indicator strip which lets you know when the blade is about done.

Bushy and unkempt facial hair

Handling your facial shave affair like a summer camp mosaic and collage project is the surest way to look like an artist showcasing America's Most wanted. If you are attracted to perpetual scruff then tame your mane to avoid looking like a gangster on the run.

This may entail shaving up to the jaw line create a neat clean look. A few extra days' worth of growth is fine, but don't let your beard achieve mountain-man proportions. And if it takes too much of your time to maintain a five o'clock shadow, a beard probably isn't for you.
