Summer Essentials for Men

Summer Essentials for Men

Warmer weather and sunshine have arrived! Just like changing to your summer wardrobe, tweaks to your grooming routine should also be updated seasonally, especially in summer.

FACE CARE

You can reduce the appearance of fine lines and sunspots on your face with very subtle changes, like swapping your standard moisturizer with an SPF Moisturizer.  This ensures your skin is both protected from the sun’s powerful rays and keeps is nourished and hydrated throughout the day.

While protecting the skin on your face and neck, don’t forget about your lips. An SPF lip balm is a great investment not only for summer, but throughout the year.

You can also change up your shaving routine by switching your shaving cream or soap to a lighter summer scent.

Body Care

With the increased summer heat, you’ll want to keep your body dry and feeling fresh. Using a long-lasting deodorant and absorbing talc powder will eliminate discomfort and body odour.

If you’re working outdoors, be sure to apply sunscreen throughout the day. Diposable wipes will also help keep you and your skin cool throughout the working day.

Hair Care

Humidity makes it difficult to control any hair type during warmer months. Embracing a natural, beach-like style is an easy fix. A tonic spray or light pomade work great for achieving an effortless style.

Warmer weather and increased sun exposure can also dry out hair. A hydrating shampoo and conditioner will help maintain hair’s natural moisture so you won’t have to worry about dry or brittle strands.
