With fall
and winter quickly approaching, it's time to get serious about your
cold-weather grooming habits.
Though most of your
routine will stay unchanged - you're still going to get haircuts every
month and apply moisturiser every day - some are more important to
adjust.
The dry air and harsh winds
are the biggest factors you'll have to work around.
Here are some of the
biggest grooming mistakes you're making each fall and winter, and how to avoid
them.
1) Forgetting To Moisturize
Dry air can suck the
moisture right out of your skin, so it's more important than ever to apply
a daily moisturizer.
It stops premature skin
aging, prevents wrinkles from settling in, and, with a sunscreen component,
also wards away skin cancer.
2) Forgetting about
your lips
Those hard, crisp winds are
also giving your lips a beating. Make sure they're properly moisturized with a
lip balm. Exfoliation can also help to get rid of some of the dead skin cells
to prevent that crusty look as well.
3) Not washing your
face enough
Just because you're not as
sweaty as you are in the summer does not mean you can neglect washing your
face.
Wash at
least once a day to get rid of excess oil, dead skin cells, and dirt from
your face. But don't overdo it — more than twice is probably too much.
4) Wearing the wrong
cologne
Not all
cologne scents are good for every occasion.
If you
have just one signature scent, it can be off-putting at times.
