Being a lifestyle platform we have given you a lot of information on how to be well-groomed. We have given tips on skincare, beard upkeep and on how to take care of your hair as per the weather. But, there is so much information out there that finding all the steps in one place is difficult.

This is why we decided to put together the main things that we think will turn you into a man who is well-groomed 24X7, 365 days of the year.  Here are 7 grooming habits that we think every guy should follow. They’ll fast-track you to looking your best and feeling more confident and comfortable. 

1. SPF. Every day.

We talk a lot about anti-ageing skincare and products that can help with UV damage, fine lines, dark spots, and other issues. However, if you take a more proactive approach to this, you can save a lot of time and money (and wrinkles). Apply an SPF moisturiser in the morning to protect your skin from UV radiation and pollution.

Apply sunscreen before going out in the sun for long periods of time. These ingredients work together to keep the skin from leathering, wrinkling, or producing dark patches (while also preventing skin cancer). Maintain the habit throughout the year, including in the winter, on overcast days, and if you work near a window. UV rays are cunning scumbags.

2. When It Comes To Your Beard, The Details Matter

Most guys use a single trimming guard to go over their entire face when trimming their beards, then use a bare guard to clean up the periphery. To put it another way, many of us disregard beard styling and, as a result, the different detailed possibilities offered by many beard trimmers.

If you get a detailed trimmer (either one with a dozen different heads or two separate devices—one for trimming and one for details), you'll be able to add weight and contrast to your moustache, goatee, or sides by changing the guard widths and lengths. You have your full canvas in front of you, so get creative.

3. Swap Out Your Razor Cartridge Frequently

This is a fundamental principle of razor hygiene. It keeps dead skin, hair clippings, and germs from accumulating. It also guarantees a close, sharp shave with no dragging, razor burn, or ingrown hairs.

Most shaving subscription services supply blades at low prices and at predetermined intervals, allowing consumers to switch safety razor blades and cartridge razors every four to six shaves or two weeks, whichever comes first. After washing your razor thoroughly, store it upright in a dry, aired location between shaves.

4. Have A Signature Scent

While having a trademark scent is desirable, few perfumes are suitable for all occasions. Consider the tempered message you want to send to your coworkers (a timeless classic perfume sounds appropriate), versus the hotter feeling you want for dating night (like a sultry tobacco scent).

Plus, what looks good on a warm spring day (florals, groundbreaking!) may not feel great in the dead of winter (when broodier potions shine). For all of these reasons, we recommend adding some nuance to your cologne collection.

5. Condition More, Shampoo Less

Here's how to have "good hair days" after "good hair days": Conditioner should be used every day, while shampoo should be used sparingly. While it's an excellent technique to get rid of dirt, filth, extra sebum, and hair product, a thorough rinse will take care of most of it.

It will also do so without completely removing the hair of its natural oils, which keep it healthy, moisturised, and styleable. If you have an oily scalp, you should shampoo less to train the scalp. As a result, it will produce less oil over time. Begin with every other day washing and gradually increase to every third or fourth day.

6. Scalp Care Is Skincare, Too

Many of us only pay attention to our scalps when they begin to itch or flake. We all need to retrain our brains: to grow healthy, strong hair and avoid sebum buildup as well as bacterial and fungal growth, the scalp requires as much work as the skin on your face.

So, whether it's a scrub (to lift dead skin and increase circulation, which strengthens hairs), a balancing serum, a weekly antifungal wash, or a weekly deep-nourishing scalp mask, try including one or two scalp-centric products into your routine.

7. Improve Your Skin While You Sleep

The quickest way to brighter, firmer, and even-toned skin is to follow a nighttime skincare routine. This is because your body's cells regenerate the fastest and its systems work the hardest to repair and restore themselves while you sleep. (It's also why a good night's sleep may make the difference between being sick and feeling great.)

The skin is no exception, which is why cleansing before bed and layering on a nutrient-dense night cream and/or anti-ageing retinol treatments are essential. These products magnify the benefits of sleep on your complexion when combined with a full 7-8 hours of sleep, since their power is twice as powerful in keeping your face moisturised, nourished, and youthful.
