Whether you’re a best man at a wedding, attending a cocktail party or checking out a networking event, you want to look your best. Try these men’s grooming suggestions to handle a wedding or any formal event you have to attend.

– Start a basic men’s skincare regimen a few weeks before the event for best results. Wash with Daily Face Wash to clear your pores and prevent acne breakouts. Afterward use a men’s moisturizer like Advanced Face Lotion or Anti-Aging Formula to hydrate skin and avoid flakiness. Make sure you exfoliate at 2-3 times a week with Microfine Face Scrub to provide your face with a deeper cleanse to remove debris and oily residue. “Men’s Face Scrub vs. Men’s Face Wash: Which Should You Use?” has more information on the benefits of using these men’s facial products.

– You can save time – and money by investing in a men’s skincare kit. If you don’t know the first thing about men’s skin care, Daily Face Kit contains all the products you need for a basic men’s skincare regime, including a men’s face scrub, men’s face wash, men’s moisturizer and face brush.

– If you have a specific skin concern, use a product specifically formulated for that issue. For example, if you’re tired of dark circles, invest in a men’s eye cream that has ingredients that specifically target undereye skin. Similarly, try an anti-aging cream for men if you’re worried about wrinkles.

– To prevent razor bumps, avoid products that contain irritants like alcohol and dyes. Also, don’t use foamy shaving products – they can actually dry skin out instead of lubricating it. Whenever you can, shave while showering — the steam will open pores and allow for a closer shave.

– Don’t shave the day before the event. Instead, shave the day of and do it in two parts. Shave with the grain with very light pressure. Then, reapply Advanced Shave Formula and shave against the grain this time. You’ll love the results. Read “Common Men’s Shaving Mistakes” for more shaving help.

– Take care of your hair by washing it with a gentle men’s shampoo that won’t dry out your scalp. Also, if you plan on getting a haircut, do so a few days or even a week before – if your haircut turns out to be a disaster, you’ll have some time to fix it.

– Since you’re going to be shaking a lot of hands, ensure that your nails are trimmed. Also, keep your hands moisturized with a good body lotion for men.

– Sometimes, you’ll have a few months before an event (particularly weddings). If possible, try to follow a healthy eating plan and get regular exercise to get in shape.  Supplements like Advanced CLA Supplement Formula and Thermogenic Formula can help you achieve results faster when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

– Control body odor.  Don’t forget the deodorant. A good deodorant isn’t overpowering and doesn’t contain irritating ingredients. We recommend Advanced Deodorant because it’s non-irritating, provides long-lasting protection, and attacks odor-causing bacteria. Also, have some breath mints around for those slow dances.

– Go easy on the cologne. Since there’s already going to be a lot of perfume in the air, opt for a lighter scent and don’t apply more than a spray or two.
