Male grooming tips

A beard or stubble trimmer often comes with multiple heads, allowing you to trim longer beards and achieve a close shave around the neckline and cheekbones.

If plucking is too painful, a nose and ear trimmer makes it easier to keep facial hair neat. Narrow heads gently remove stray hairs, and some models include an eyebrow setting too.

Start from the bottom of your sideburns and curve towards the corner of your moustache. Trim above this line for a clean, defined look.

Select the longest clipper setting and trim your beard, shaving against the direction of hair growth to remove as much as possible. Repeat until you achieve your desired length.

If you prefer the look of a completely smooth finish you could wax or treat the area with a hair removal cream. If it's your first time you might consider having this done professionally, but there are at-home kits you can buy too. 

Caring for your body’s skin is just as crucial as facial skincare. A nourishing moisturiser after showers keeps your skin healthy and supports grooming results. For smoother skin, exfoliate weekly with a body scrub to remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs.

• Wash off a long day following the same cleansing and moisturising process from the morning.
• You could switch out the moisturiser for thicker night cream, which will sink in and soothe while you sleep.
• Add in an extra step once a week to apply a mask. They'll help nourish the skin deeper and draw out any impurities.

For sensitive skin or acne, adjust your routine to soothe redness. Choose gentle, fragrance-free face washes, and avoid scrubs that may irritate. Look for soothing ingredients like tea tree oil, or salicylic acid, to unclog pores. If concerned, consult a doctor for treatment options.
