Beard Shaping Made Easy

Want to look fancy for your upcoming date with the girl of your dreams? Here are some tips below for you guys out there. Each piece of advice applies to differernt facial structures so some of you guys may be lucky and be able to pull of the full beard for no shave november. Rememeber guys sophisticate your swagger every little change even growing some facial hair out may help you get your dream girl.


The Round Face
When shaping the beard for a round face, go a bit longer at the chin to add length and make the face appear less round. Avoid bushy sideburns and keep the sides of the beard short. In lieu of a full beard, a goatee is often a good option for a round face.
The Long Face
Exactly opposite of the round face, the long face requires a beard which is fuller at the sides and shorter at the chin. The goal here is to add width to the sides and make the face appear less long. Make sure to avoid abrupt changes in length so the shaping is not obvious.
The Large Face
Since the face is large, any small facial hair or beard will appear out of proportion and make the face appear bigger. Keep the beard fuller and the mustache larger. Also follow the rules above for the appropriate face shape.
The Small Face
Small faces require small facial hair. Larger, fuller styles will make the face get lost and appear out of proportion. Also follow the rules above for the appropriate face shape.
The Oval Face
You lucky man! The oval face shape is considered the ideal shape and requires no special shaping to balance facial features. Do whatever you like and you'll look great.

Im Out,

The 3 2 1 ManScrub: How to Sexify you Skin Swag


        Most guys go for the St. Ives Apricot Scrub or whatever they find in their girlfriends shower but men’s skin handles environmental factors ( weather, work) much differently than women’s skin, so finding the perfect exfoliator is a must.  In case you didn't know, an exfoliator is basically a face or body scrub with micro beads that get rid of dead skin cells and is a great alternative to shaving cream. Exfoliating your face and body 2 times a week can prevent skin issues such as aging lines, blackheads, acne, irritation or redness and create smoother skin over time. It will also make your shaving routine much easier. Every time you use a razor on your face you’re increasing the chances of these skin issues occurring.So, instead of wasting your time in the face scrub aisle, try this do it yourself ManScrub recipe, perfect for all skin types:

3 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

(you can also add some mashed up avocado or cranberries for oily skin)

Mix these together in a small bowl and just keep it covered in your shower or bathroom. This scrub usually lasts about a week and half before you should make a new one. Just scrub it on a damp face about three times a week and you’ll see a difference.
