Today
is a day of remembrance for all the men— you were never forgotten in the first
place 😊. There is the usual notion, especially among my
Nigerian ogas that men don’t do
skincare or groom themselves and those who do are effeminate or less masculine.
This notion is so wrong. I mean, have you seen Kunle Remi? The Born Again Stripper star is a stud (also my celebrity crush)
and he knows it which is why he is not afraid to take care of his skin.
Evidence of his love for skincare can be seen in his June 2nd post on his
verified Instagram account. That guy sure knows how to pamper his skin.

But
for real though, have you seen his skin? It is giving everything it should
give— it is glowing, flawless, and healthy. Aside from taking care of his skin,
you can also see that he is well-groomed. His hair is in place, breads well
shaped, no long nails, nice dentition and even though I haven’t seen him in
person, I can swear that he smells like how a sexy man should (giggles).

So
my brothers, looking good is not limited to wearing a nice piece of suit and a
dope pair of shoes. If you have flaxy, dry skin, long nails, bad breath, and body
odour, you defeat the whole purpose of dressing nice. And you also chase away
that girl that you have been toasting and pursuing for three years now. Don’t
be ashamed, my brother at the back, I have come to help you. You are brother
after all and I want to see you succeed in your love and everyday life (😉).

In
this article, I will be providing you with skincare and grooming tips that will
help you look dapper, sharp, and glowing like Kunle Remi. Here
are five skincare and grooming tips you should adopt as a man (P.S. It will not
make you less of a man):

Tip
#1: Wash Your Face Twice a Day And Moisturize!

Hey, fellas! It's time to
debunk the myth that face washing is only for the ladies. Listen up, my guys,
because this is important stuff. You gotta wash your face twice a day, no
exceptions! But here's the secret: use a gentle facial cleanser. Yeah, that's
right, a cleanser made specifically for your handsome face. Forget about using
your bar soap for everything, including your face. That's some old-school
"ghetto behaviour," and we can do better than that, can't we?

So here's the deal:
invest in a fantastic facial cleanser like the <a href="https://www.jumia.com.ng/kind-to-skin-refreshing-facial-gel-wash-simple-mpg1972942.html">Simple Refreshing Face Wash</a>. It's suitable for all skin types, so no worries
there. And remember, when washing your face, ditch the body loofah or sponge.
We're not scrubbing away our skin barrier here, fellas. We're just getting rid
of dirt and sweat. So keep it simple, stick to using your hands, and give your
face the love it deserves. Trust me, you'll thank me later!

Follow
up with a moisturizer that suits your skin type to keep it hydrated and
nourished. Remember, hydrated skin is healthy skin! Your mantra should be “Flaxy
and dry skin be gone!”

Hey guys, let's give a hand to those hardworking
hands of yours! You men often use your hands for all sorts of activities, like
pumping iron at the gym or fixing up cars. But if you neglect them, they can
feel rough and dry, almost like sandpaper. And you know what? That can totally
affect your confidence, especially when you are meeting people and need to give
a firm handshake. So, fellas, it's about time you
prioritize your hands Treat them to some hand cream or balm to keep them
moisturized and callus-free. Your hands deserve to be as smooth as your moves!


Beware,
fellas! UV rays are not your buddies.
They burn your skin, damage your skin
barrier, cause you to begin showing signs of premature ageing and worse of all,
increase the risk of having skin cancer. That’s not nice at all! So, here's the deal: sunscreen is your new best buddy
in your skincare routine. You are to use it every day, come rain, come shine,
whether you are staying indoors or outdoors. Please, banish the thought that
sunscreen is for women or that your forefathers survived without it and go and
invest in a bottle of sunscreen. I will recommend you use one with spf 15+ and
above and always reapply after the first application for maximum protection.

Now, &nbsp;Let's talk
about something really important: smelling fresh. Trust me, funky odours are
major turn-offs, whether you're at a fancy event or just chilling with friends.
So how do we combat those body odours? Well, good hygiene is key—shower
regularly and keep those pearly whites shining with toothbrush action. But
the real king: deodorant! Deodorants are created to mask or cover up any unwanted
smells. So they are very crucial in your journey is smelling nice. And guess what? It takes less than ten seconds to apply
it under your arms. Boom! Invest in a deodorant, my friends, and watch as
people around you breathe a sigh of relief. You'll be the fresh-smelling
champion they've been waiting for!

Tip
#5: Shave Properly and Take Care of Your Beard

For
my men dem that do not keep beards,
please shave properly. In shaving properly, you need to master the proper
shaving techniques. Before you begin shaving, soften your beard with warm water
or a pre-shave oil and then apply shaving cream (shaving cream is a MUST!). Avoid dry-shaving. Go ahead to
use a sharp razor and shave in the direction of hair growth to prevent
irritation and ingrown hairs. After shaving, apply a soothing aftershave cream
or balm to your skin, to calm the area.

While,
my guys that keep their bread, ensure you trim it as often as possible, so you
don’t look like a caveman and it doesn’t begin to itch. Ensure you wash and
condition your beard, after which you apply beard oil or cream so that it is
soft, healthy and free from dandruff. 
a perfect product to use to keep your beards healthy i recommend <a href="https://amarihaircare.com/">Amari’s vitamin e serum</a>

And
that’s a wrap. Long gone are the days when grooming and skincare were
considered exclusively feminine pursuits. Men today like our celebrity crush
Kunle Remi, are embracing self-care and realizing the immense benefits that
come with it. By incorporating these grooming and skincare tips into your
routine, you'll not only enhance your appearance but also boost your confidence
and overall well-being. So, gentlemen, it's time to take charge and unleash
your best self!
