Hi! I’m Aisha with Picture Perfect Makeup, and we’re here at Washington District Court’s PRatPartners Salon to show you how to become your own best makeup artist.
One of the topics we’re going to discuss today is men’s grooming. This is really important because there’s a lot of guys out there who have questions about how to look their best, but don’t really know how to go about it. So, we’re definitely going to touch on those topics.
The first step is to make sure that you’ve got great skin fitness. When I say, skin fitness, I mean for each guy to take care of their skin to hydrate it and nourish it and moisturize it, so you can keep it looking great for a long time.
Now, the first step in skin fitness that is really important is Cleansing. What we’re going to use today is a gel cleanser. Now, a gel cleanser is great, because it’s really easy to use, its light-weight and it’ll give you that nice squeaky clean feeling. So, what you’re going to do is just use a dime size amount of the product in your hand, add water and rub your hands together to lather. You can do this everyday when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed, so that way it will remove any residue and oil that you have accumulated during the day. You’re going to massage it on the skin, making sure you get all the areas where you are a little bit extra oily, which is generally right here in the T zone, and then rinse it off with lukewarm or cold water whatever is your preference. Dry your skin and now you’ve got a nice clean slate.
Another issue that a lot of guys are concerned with is irritation on the skin due to shaving, and this is really normal because as you shave several times a week, sometimes you’ll get a few little red bumps or even in some ingrown hairs. A great way to avoid this is by using an Exfoliator regularly.
Now, when I say an Exfoliator, I mean something that is similar to a gel cleanser, but that has some particles in it, that will help remove any layers of dead skin cell. You’re going to use it the same way, put a little bit in your hand, rub your hands together and massage it into the areas where you might have some clogged pores. A lot of guys have this problem right in here, where the neck is, so make sure you get that area. You can do this up to two-three times a week, but pay attention to your skin so you don’t get over-irritated.
Also, everyday what you want make sure you’re doing is hydrating correctly. This is a step that a lot of guys forget.
So, what I’m going to use is a Hydrating Gel Serum, which is great, because it doesn’t leave an oily feel. I like to use something that’s oil-free, so it gives you the most natural feeling on the skin.
So, what you’re going to do is just get a little bit of product on the tip of your fingers. I distribute it evenly on my fingers and then just apply it throughout the face. A little goes a long way if you have a good product, so pay attention to how much you are using.
For skin fitness that’s it, guys have it easy, they only have a few steps.
