Sun damage is not only detrimental to your health, but it also greatly affects the appearance of skin. To protect your skin against premature ageing from sun damage, make sure you’re slip, slop, slapping an SPF on everyday – even in winter. If you find a traditional sunscreen too heavy for your skin, choose a moisturiser with an SPF in the formula. The Revitalift Classic Day Cream SPF15 is a good place to start.

While we’re on the topic of grooming tips for men, we couldn’t possibly forget about body care. After you’ve got your facial skin care routine down pat it’s time to look at what body care products you should be using. Let’s go back to basics – shower gel. A good shower gel will do wonders to invigorate your skin in the morning and wash the day away at the night. Sore muscles after an intense gym session? Reach for Men Expert Stop Stress Shower Gel crafted for an instant in-shower calming effect. Or get squeaky clean with Men Expert Clean Power Citrus Wood Shower Gel. Post-shower it’s important to keep that refreshed, clean feeling going. While it almost goes without saying, a good deodorant is essential and will make a world of difference. Whether it’s a white shirt or a black tee Men Expert Shirt Protect Anti-Perspirant will keep both sweat patches and yellow stains at bay.

While you don’t have to hide your greys (we’re all about embracing a head full of silver), touching up your roots and keeping greys in check can refresh your overall appearance. Keep some root touch-up on hand to disguise any greys in seconds. Both work to quickly cover errant silver strands. For grey roots, choose the Magic Retouch Temporary Root Concealer Spray, and for scattered grey hairs use the Magic Retouch Precision Root Touch Up. Just keep in mind that these are both temporary, quick-fix options and will wash out after one shampoo. Want more permanent coverage? Opt for Excellence Creme Permanent Hair Colour for 100% grey coverage in a range of natural shades. 

While we’re on the topic of men’s grooming, we would be remiss to ignore crucial beard care tips. Some men wouldn’t necessarily include their beard as part of their skin care routine, but it definitely deserves the same attention as your face. If you’re looking for a multitasker that takes into account how nourished hair and skin below should be, look no further than the Men Expert Barber Club 3 in 1 Beard & Hair & Face Wash, which is packed with essential oils to soften and protect both hair and skin. Finish off with a beard oil that soothes irritation and tames facial hair for a non-greasy, sleek look. Our pick is the Men Expert Barber Club Beard Oil.

Remember: protecting the hair on the top of your head is just as important as nourishing your beard. Whenever you reach for the hair dryer make sure you prepare your hair with a heat protectant. Excessive heat can cause your hair to become brittle and prone to breaking. The Elnett Heat Protect Sleek Spray will ensure hair is protected from damage and leave a lasting sheen.

Now you’re armed with the top grooming tips for men, get ready to not only look your best but feel your best!
