5 Grooming Questions Of Men

I have dry skin. It looks dry after I take bath. What to apply?

Men can apply a body lotion or a moisturiser. It is not wrong to use a body lotion that a woman uses. These beauty products like a body lotion or a moisturiser is meant for both men and women. Pick up a cream/lotion/moisturiser that is intended for dry skin. Apply after taking bath everyday. You can also apply before going to bed.

Hair loss is due to poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle and lack of hair care. Include nutritious foods like green vegetables, fresh fruits in your diet. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and flush out toxins from the body, skin and hair. Massage your scalp with hot oil. You can also apply garlic juice, onion extract or ginger juice to reduce baldness.

After shaving, razor burns and rashes appear on my face. How to prevent it?

Shaving can often lead to razor burns and in worst cases, razor bumps (small red pimples that are painful and sore). To prevent razor burns on your skin, soften your beard first. Shave after taking a shower. Water, especially hot water softens the hair follicles and makes it easy to come out. Exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells and bring out ingrown hairs (one of the causes of razor burns and bumps). Use short and light strokes and do not apply too much pressure while shaving. Apply a balm or a moisturiser after shaving to prevent dryness and razor burns.

Do I need to cleanse my skin like women?

Cleanse with a face scrub or face wash. You should massage your face to increase blood circulation and remove dead skin cells.
