At the intersection of style and confidence stands the well-groomed man – an icon of timeless elegance and sophistication. However, being a well-groomed man goes beyond adding a handful of hair gel and wearing a sharp suit. It’s about having a daily self-care routine. From a lingering fragrance to neatly trimmed nails: the devil is, as they say, in the details. These are the finishing touches that radiate confidence and charisma.
ELLE has compiled a list of essentials to seamlessly integrate into your daily routine, assisting you in becoming a confident well-groomed man.
RADIANT SKIN
Gone are the days when skincare was solely reserved for women. Investing in a stellar skincare routine is a must for everyone, regardless of gender, now. For the best results, consult a trusted dermatologist and invest in products tailored to your skin type. And, of course, never forget SPF.
BEYOND PEARLY WHITES
A bright smile is a jewel in the crown. Maintaining oral hygiene should be a non-negotiable part of your routine. Use quality dental products for a bright and confident smile.
HAIRCARE ROUTINE
Your hair is your standout feature. So make sure that you are regularly visiting your go-to barber. Find a hairstyle that enhances your facial features and stick to it. Swap your generic 4-in-1 solutions with specialized hair products.
TRIM TO PERFECTION
Facial hair has evolved into a versatile accessory that can elevate a man’s style to new heights. Whether it’s a perfectly sculpted stubble or a carefully maintained beard, keeping your facial hair clean, well-trimmed, and styled is essential.
NAIL THE DETAILS
From fingertips to toes, the well-groomed man attends to the finer details. So don’t overlook your nails: keep them clean and trimmed. It’s these subtle touches that contribute to your overall polished appearance.
A DAB OF ELEGANCE
The well-groomed man understands the power of a signature scent. Before stepping out, spritz the cologne on your pulse points – your neck and wrists. And remember: don’t rub it into your skin; instead, gently dab it.
For a fresh aroma, opt for a cologne with citrus, fruit, or floral notes. Embrace the freshness with Acqua Di Gio by Armani or Versace Man Eau Fraiche. Pro tip: these are especially suitable for hot summer days.
Seeking a muskier allure? You can never go wrong with timeless fragrances like Dior Sauvage or Burberry Hero.
DRESS THE PART
Finally, finish off your routine by dressing appropriately. Whether you’re wearing a James Bond suit or a simple T-shirt and jeans combo, ensure your clothes fit you well. Invest in quality pieces that not only showcase but elevate your style and sophistication.
