Cleansing
Cleansing the face holds significant importance for men as it plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and overall well-being. Regular facial cleansing helps to remove these impurities, preventing breakouts and promoting clearer skin. Additionally, it assists in regulating oil production, which is particularly beneficial for those prone to oily skin. Proper cleansing also creates a clean canvas for effective absorption of other skincare products, maximizing their benefits.
Start off your routine by cleansing your face. To achieve best results, use the Aristocrat Face cleansing brush. Simply wet the brush and add a small amount of your usual cleanser, buff around the face in circular motions, rinse your face and the brush well and enjoy your new healthy-looking skin.
Follow with the Blackhead Remover Set. This three-piece set is perfect to rival unwanted imperfections.
Exfoliating
The next step is to exfoliate. Exfoliating holds significant importance for men’s skincare routines due to its myriad of benefits for skin health and appearance. Exfoliation involves the removal of dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, which can accumulate over time, leading to a dull complexion, rough texture, and clogged pores. For men, who often have thicker and oilier skin, regular exfoliation is even more crucial. By exfoliating, men can unclog pores, reduce the risk of acne breakouts, and promote a smoother and more even skin texture.
Use the Aristocrat Face & Body Pads for a smooth complexion. Buff in circular motions across your face and body for a deep cleanse and exfoliation.
Next, use the Aristocrat Bath & Shower Back Exfoliator. This is perfect for tackling those hard-to-reach places. This will help prevent back acne, smooth skin, and deeply cleanse.
Hair Care
Men’s hair care is important for several compelling reasons including personal presentation, health & hygiene, preventing hair loss, maintenance of the scalp and preventing damage. The perfect product to use to improve hair health is the Aristocrat Shampoo Massaging Brush, designed to gently massage your scalp while cleansing your hair. Its soft bristles help to remove dandruff, dirt, oil, and product build up, white fitting comfortably in your hand for an easy use. Not only does it help to promote a healthy scalp and hair, but its massaging action can help to increase blood flow to the scalp, promoting hair growth and providing a relaxing and invigorating experience.
Beard Care
Beard care is of paramount importance for men who choose to sport facial hair, as it not only contributes to a well-groomed appearance but also promotes overall skin health. Upgrade your routine by sharpening up your beard and moustache. Start by using the Aristocrat Beard Roller to increase blood flow and hair growth. For best results, disinfect the beard roller before use. Then wash your skin with warm water and roll vertically (avoiding the eye area). Then starting from top to bottom, roll horizontally and repeat the process until you have covered all desired areas. Finally, rinse your face and moisturize for a soothing effect. Stay consistent and you should start to see results after around 4 – 8 weeks.
Eyebrow Care
Eyebrow care is an essential aspect of grooming for men, as well-groomed eyebrows can greatly enhance facial appearance and overall attractiveness. To achieve sharp looking brows use the Aristocrat Soft Touch Ceramic Tweezer and remove all straying hairs and achieve your desired shape. Then use the Grooming Scissors to trim the top of your brows to tame them.
Tip: Be cautious not to over-pluck your eyebrows, as this can lead to an unnatural appearance. Aim for symmetry and a balanced look.
Nail Care
The last step is to take care of your nails. This is another overlooked important factor to a man’s grooming routine. To keep those nails looking fresh use the Toe And Fingernail Clipper. For perfection try out the Aristocrat Soft Touch Cuticle Nipper to achieve sleek and polished nails.
