We're about to embark on a grooming journey that will redefine your understanding of what it means to be a well-groomed man in the 21st century and breakdown some of the grooming myths.
Men don’t need to maintain, protect or moisturise their skin.
Moisturisers for men date back as far as 700BC and were commonly used amongst men that lived and worked under the hard conditions of the sun. Historians believe that men would use mud or fruit peels to help hydrate and repair skin. Begin and end your day with a refreshing face wash. Opt for a cleanser tailored to your skin type, avoiding harsh soaps and detergents. Keep your skin hydrated by moisturising after each wash. Prioritise sun protection by using an SPF-certified sunscreen daily.

Moisturiser : L'Oreal Hydra Energetic Moisturiser $20.49
Sunscreen: Cancer Council Sunscreen & Moisturiser SPF 50+ $12.39
Conditioner? Yeah Nah, that's just for the long-haired hippies.
Healthy hair and healthy scalp come hand in hand. Using a conditioner after every wash will balance the scalp and hair that has been stripped of natural oils from shampoo and soaps in order to cleanse. Unblocking the pores on your scalp is the key to hair growth. A healthy scalp promoted by the use of conditioner can reduce and slow thinning hair and balding. Admittedly hippies do have awesome hair!

I only need a razor to groom
Invest in specialised tools that match your needs. Facial hair groomers excel at precision work on smaller areas, unlike clippers. Avoid grooming mishaps and errors by using the correct accessories. Remember, don't neglect your neck, cheek & eye bones, ears, and nose hairs for a well-groomed look. Look for tools that suit you’re your look and how you grooming . A facial hair trimmer with a precision length dial will ensure an even trim and reduce the need for a ridiculous amount of guards that get stuffed in a drawer. For longer facial hair invest in good beard and moustache oils to tame the wiry hairs.
Mandays Beard Trimmer comes with a precision length dial will get the job done.
Only women maintain body hair
Believe it or not it was cave men that were first known to groom and trim body and facial hair with shells and sharp stones to appear cleaner and more appealing to potential suitors. Most women prefer men to have at the very least, a simple body grooming regime. Here our tips for body grooming. Never use a straight razor, trim rather than shave using your length setting and a guard to protect your skin from nicks. Start with a longer length and gradually go shorter. Body areas to groom: Groin, armpits, chest, back, legs and stomach.

It’s just an aftershave they are all the same
Select your signature fragrance and build up a selection of them to use on different occasions or times of the week. Spray lightly on these areas: shoulders, neck (back and front) and wrists. Fragrances can stimulate memories and can help create positive moods and behaviours. When it comes to body odour there's a difference between pheromones and smelling bad. Not all deodorants are the same, body sprays and antiperspirant’s work differently. So make sure you understand what you need and what works best on your skin..it might take few try's before you find the right one. Golden Rule: never stink because no one likes it.
