Male Grooming Tips for Men - A Top 10 Grooming Guide for Men



Metrosexual man is the new evolution of man, confident, stylish, and masculine, so here are the top 10 male grooming tips from metro-sexual so you to can experience the benefits that good male grooming can bring. The evolution of man continues...
Male Grooming Tip 1
Get a skin care regime, if you don't always act your age why should you have to look it? A simple skin care regime, face wash, facial scrub and moisturiser can really make a difference.
Male Grooming Tip 2
Know your skin type. So that you can get the most from your skin care regime use products designed for your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin you want to be using an oil free moisturiser and if you have sensitive skin look for a moisturiser with built in sun protection. The well groomed man should have a clear, clean complexion.
Male Grooming Tip 3
Eyes are always the give away, whether it be your true age they reveal or the fact that you were actually out last night and not working on that report! Use a specialist eye cream to get rid of puffiness and any tell tail wrinkles, and hey presto no one need ever know the truth!
Male Grooming Tip 4
If you want great looking healthy skin drink plenty of water at least 1.5 litres a day.
Male Grooming Tip 5
A well groomed male needs to learn how to shave properly. The art of the perfect shave is disappearing fast. Shave after a shower or use plenty of hot water. Don't use a disposable razor, use a good quality razor, a Mach 3 or a double edge razor. Invest in a shave brush and use a good quality shave crème and apply it with the brush. Shave with the grain and always apply a non alcohol based balm to finish. If you're grooming a beard get it done by a barber. To remove a beard try shampooing it in the shower first, then use clippers and finally shave.
Male Grooming Tip 6
Male body grooming is also essential. Shower every morning and when necessary, use a body wash not regular soap to avoid drying out your skin and use a good antiperspirant deodorant to help regulate sweat through out the day.
Male Grooming Tip 7
Get a good hair cut, one that suits both your face and your hair type. Not sure what the latest fashion is or what will look good book an appointment at a salon not your local barber and get advice from those in the know. If your hair is thinning keep it short and please no comb overs! Eyebrow grooming for men falls into this category too, see our article on eyebrow grooming for more details.
Male Grooming Tip 8
Eat a healthy balanced diet and get some regular exercise. Keep your intake of fast food to a minimum and eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Not only will you feel better and have more energy but it will improve the look of your skin and your hair.
Male Grooming Tip 9
Everyone notices a killer smile so make sure you clean your teeth twice a day, use a mouth wash and don't forget to brush your tongue to keep your breath smelling fresh for longer.
Male Grooming Tip 10
Get yourself a manicure or at least keep your nails trimmed and clean. After all your hands are always on show and please no finger nail biting!

How to Soothe Dry Winter Skin | eHow.com

How to Soothe Dry Winter Skin eHow.com

Sledding, skiing are a roaring fire...winter's cold wind and dry indoor heat can really do a number on your skin. Making some simple changes in your daily habits will help soothe your skin from the pain and itch that accompanies winter dryness.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Avoid long, hot, steamy showers. Hot water dries the skin much more than cool water so keep your shower short and use tepid water whenever possible.
  2. 2
    Use soap only under your arms and in your groin area. Most commercial soaps are very harsh on the skin and really aren't necessary for cleaning. All you really need is water and a wash cloth.
  3. 3
    Take a bath with conditioning oils added to your water. The oil provides a barrier on your skin that helps trap water in. Just be careful when getting in and out as the oil also makes the tub slippery.
  4. 4
    Apply a good rich moisturizer to soothe dry skin several times a day. After a bath or shower, it's best to put lotion on your skin while it's still damp as it will help trap the water needed to keep skin hydrated.
  5. 5
    Let your skin air dry instead of rubbing vigorously with a towel. The rubbing can irritate your skin and drying the water with a towel robs your skin of a chance to absorb the extra moisture.
  6. 6
    Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated oils which help moisten skin and improve body tissue. Try adding more salmon, tuna, olive oil and almonds to your diet.

Eat Fruit On An Empty Stomach

Eating Fruit on an empty stomach

Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" ways and many patients recovered. He explains: before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients.  He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.

Original letter

Dear Shereen,
Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.

Thanks and God bless.
Dr Stephen Mak

  
EATING FRUIT...
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits? 
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! 
FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. 
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. 

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
 Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. 

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... 

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! 

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. 

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. 

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. 

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! 

KIWI:
 Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.  

APPLE:

Please click the like button or tweet it or share it on any site you like.  Spread the word.  Thank you.
 An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY:
 Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE :
 Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON:
 Coolest thirst quencher Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA:
 Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
 Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

A cardiologist says if everyone who shares this with at least 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
