If you spend any time looking at women’s magazines, you’ll see headline after headline offering up tips. Whether they be makeup, hair, skin, fashion… the women that read these mags are constantly looking for tips and tricks on how to better their appearance.

You too, can benefit from a few of these tips. To save you from actually having to sift through an Allure magazine, here are few tips that will actually help you step up your grooming game.

#1 Vaseline Is A Miracle Worker

Vaseline. It’s cheap and easy to get your hands on and it’s also a miracle worker for your skin. If you’re not a manicure man, this trick is for you. Apply Vaseline on your cuticles at night and let it soak in. This will keep you from getting those unsightly and sometimes painful hangnails.  Yes, women pay attention to your hands.

#2 Trim

Some guys wax their nether regions, but you don’t have to go that far if you don’t want. However, women do appreciate a neat and tidy guy. Consider trimming the hair down there and if it’s a birds nest, your underarm hair.

#3 Flaky, Flaky

Dandruff can be innocent, or it can be a sign of a minor health issue. Persistent flakes can be caused by fungus overgrowth, eczema or psoriasis. If you suspect that’s the case, go see your dermatologist.  But if it’s the occasional innocent flaking you have, consider using Biolage Scalpthérapie Antidandruff Shampoo, $14, biolage.com for salons. Finally a shampoo that takes care of flakes but doesn’t smell like medicine!

#4 Avoiding Backne

Do you wash your hair or your body first in the shower? Do you even care? Well, if you get backne (a gross way to say acne on your back), then you might. If you wash your body first and then finish with your hair, your conditioner might hang out on your skin afterward and clog your pores. Consider washing your hair first to see the difference!
