Welcome, young gents! At The Refined Man Barbershop, we know that looking and feeling your best builds confidence at any age. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you establish a simple grooming routine that will carry you into adulthood.
Taking Care of Your Skin
- Cleanse Daily: Washing your face twice a day removes dirt, oil, and sweat that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Use a gentle cleanser designed for your skin type – oily, dry, or combination.
- Moisturize: Keeping your skin hydrated helps prevent dryness and irritation. Look for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that works for your skin type.
- Sunscreen Every Day: Sun protection is essential, even on cloudy days. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen every morning, even in winter.
Sharp Haircuts and Healthy Hair
- Find Your Style: Talk to your barber about what styles will work with your hair texture, face shape, and personal taste. They can recommend cuts that are easy to maintain at home.
- Shampoo and Condition Regularly: Wash your hair regularly to remove dirt and product buildup. How often depends on your hair type, but generally every other day is a good starting point. Use a conditioner to keep your hair hydrated and manageable.
- Brush It Out: Brushing your hair stimulates your scalp and distributes natural oils, keeping your hair healthy and looking sharp.
The Art of the Shave (Eventually)
Most teenage guys won’t need to shave daily, but when the time comes, here’s how to get started:
- Invest in Quality Tools: A good safety razor or electric shaver will help you avoid nicks and irritation.
- Prep Your Skin: Soften your beard with warm water and a shaving cream or gel. This helps reduce razor burn.
- The Right Technique: Shave with the grain to avoid irritation. Short, gentle strokes are key.
- Moisturize After: Soothe your skin with a fragrance-free aftershave balm.
