To get you ready for an upcoming night of debauchery, we have some quick men’s grooming and nutrition tips to help you enjoy yourself without embarrassing yourself:
1. Drink a lot (of water): Do this before, during and after the party. Alcohol dehydrates you, increasing the potential for headaches, dark circles and hangovers. Rule of thumb: drink a glass of water between each drink you have. That way, you’ll control your drinking and stay hydrated.
2. Don’t forget your vitamins. Because alcohol can disrupt your nutrient balance, you need to replenish lost vitamins and minerals. Take a men’s multivitamin supplement the day of the party and the day after to keep your body in tip-top shape. Then make it a daily habit.
3. Socialize: There’s bound to be someone you don’t know at the party. Strike up conversation and expand your network of connections. If you’re shy, get someone to introduce you. Opening the conversation is usually the hardest part. On that note…
4. Laugh more: Laughing helps your body relax, eases stress and even boosts your immune system. It’s been a long year, so kick back and enjoy the company you’re with. You have a whole new year to look forward to. Plus, laughing is way better than the alternative.
5. Stick to wine: Wine has antioxidants that are good for your skin and overall health. Antioxidants help protect from damage caused by free radicals, which have been linked to certain cancers. If wine isn’t your thing, make sure you’re taking an antioxidant supplement to still get health benefits.
6. Do some last-minute men’s grooming: Before heading out, take a hot shower and use MenScience Microfine Facial Scrub to revitalize your complexion. If you plan on shaving, use Advanced Shave Formula and Post-Shave Repair to minimize the risk of ingrown hairs and irritation before your big night. Finally, apply some Advanced Face Lotion to lock in moisture and restore your skin’s suppleness.
7. Use a men’s lip balm. You don’t want your lips to be dry and chapped in case you end up kissing someone. Keep a lip balm handy to make sure you’re ready to pucker up.
