One of the major challenges that most of us seem to struggle with during the winter months is dry skin.

And this can be an issue no matter the weather outside. So here [...]

Hey, winter is cold. And in some places, it’s really cold! So since we have to adjust to the winter weather, and not the other way around, let’s make sure that your grooming regimen can handle this cold and VERY dry time of year!

Guys, I know I’m not alone with the need to trim the lip-line of my mustache every few days. So, I felt I should share a simple trick that I not only use on myself, but on many of my clients called – “the smile technique”. It’s honestly one of the best and easiest ways [...]

Memorial Day just passed. So it’s just another indication that summertime is just around the corner!  So, besides extra crunches at the gym…what else do you do to prepare for the stretch of summer heat? Prepare your skin. Two items that are a must; a daily moisturizer with SPF (for the day) and Sunblock (for the day to [...]

Ever looked at someone sporting a goatee and wonder why it looks like facial hair has taken over nearly half his face? It appears too wide to be a goatee, but it’s not quite a beard, either. This is a prime example of a good goatee gone bad. This is a style that should never [...]

It’s interesting how men’s grooming practices can be so different from city to city! In San Francisco, it’s not properly prepping their beard before a shave leading to dry skin and razor burn.
