Men’s Grooming 101: Facials, Pedicures & More for the Modern Man
Over the years, grooming has evolved into an essential part of a man’s lifestyle, something men can no longer ignore. From overgrown nails to unruly hair, people are more mindful than ever about the little details. Hence, it is essential for men to be aware of self-care and grooming more than ever before.
In this guide, we’ll cover the full scope of men’s grooming:
- Why grooming is attractive
- What men’s grooming includes
- Home grooming tips for men
- Don’ts in men’s grooming
- Noeline’s complete grooming services for men
Why Is Grooming Attractive?
Surveys consistently show that women appreciate well-groomed men. Grooming signals that you are organized, disciplined, and care about yourself, qualities people naturally find attractive. Studies also suggest that men who groom regularly appear more confident than those who don’t.
But grooming isn’t only about looks; it helps you feel good in your own skin and project that confidence to others.
What Does Male Grooming Include?
Done right, grooming delivers three key benefits for every man: hygiene, appeal, and health. Balancing these aspects makes life more comfortable, confident, and stress-free. A complete men’s grooming routine typically covers:
Skincare
Healthy skin is one of the biggest rewards of proper grooming. Here are four essentials to include in your routine:
- Cleansing – Wash your face and body with a mild cleanser twice a day, even if you stayed indoors. This keeps dirt, sweat, and oil from causing breakouts.
- Exfoliation – Scrub away dead skin every 2–3 weeks for a brighter, smoother look. At Noeline’s, we offer men’s facials and body scrubs designed for deep, professional care.
- Moisturization – Hydrate regularly to prevent dullness and dryness.
- Protection – Shield your skin with aftercare products such as SPF, even if you’re not outdoors often.
Oral Hygiene
Fresh breath is one of the strongest first impressions a man can make, so make sure your grooming routine covers oral health needs. Brush twice daily, floss when needed, and use a mouthwash if necessary. Schedule regular check-ups with a dentist to maintain overall oral health.
Hair Removal (Manscaping)
Excessive hair removal, also known as Manscaping, keeps you neat and presentable for everyday life. We commonly deal with excess hair in areas like eyebrows (unibrows), nose, ears, chest, armpits, and even pubic regions. Instead of relying on shaving at home, consider services like waxing and threading under a proper manscaping salon, which provide longer-lasting results without the mess of shaving.
Nail Hygiene
Often overlooked by men, nail hygiene is a crucial part of men’s grooming. Maintain proper nail hygiene by cleaning hands and feet regularly after outings. Keep both fingernails and toenails trimmed, clean, and filed to ensure a tidy look. For complete care, men’s pedicures and manicures include cleaning, cuticle trimming, soaking, filing, and even massages that improve hand and foot health.
Home Grooming Tips for Men
While professional grooming is essential, small efforts at home make a big difference. Here are some simple grooming efforts you can add to your daily routine at home:
- Trim nails regularly – Keep both hand and foot nails neat and clean with regular trimming and cleaning.
- Replace toothbrushes and razor heads – Swap brushes with damaged and worn-out bristles. The average toothbrush becomes ineffective in about 3 months of usage. Replace razors after 8–10 uses for efficient shaving.
- Dry your bath towel properly – Damp towels breed mildew and odor. Always air-dry your damp towels in a ventilated space.
- Use the right aftercare products – Aftershave gels and creams reduce razor irritation and promote better skin health. Choose quality products tailored for men’s skin.
Don’ts in Men’s Grooming
As much as do’s, men should be well aware of what to avoid in grooming.
Don’t Overdo Aftercare:
Too much fragrance from perfumes, colognes, or hair products can be overwhelming. It can create a greasy finish, which steals away the subtle look you wish for.
Don’t use the same products for all body areas:
Keep separate razors for face and pubic areas, and separate towels for face and body. The skin on your face is more sensitive, and any transfer of bacteria or dead skin cells can cause infections.
Don’t shave hair against growth - Shaving against the direction of hair growth creates more friction during shaving, resulting in skin irritation and razor bumps. It may also create ingrown hairs due to cutting deeper than the skin surface.
