 Manscaping Tips: Facial Hair 

Tips for Bearded Men:

You’re the king of Movember. If your face looks good with just about any beard length. here are some useful tips on how to maintain your full beard. 

• Try a beard kit for easy and affordable men's grooming products in a hassle-free package.
• Just like the hair on your head, beards can be prone to odor, which is particularly bothersome if you have a partner. Freshen your beard regularly with a gentle shampoo.
• If you’re prone to dry skin or beard dandruff, avoid flaking with beard oil.
• Consider shaving stray hairs instead of plucking them, as tweezing can lead to inflammation and ingrown hairs.

Tips for Clean-Shaven Men:

Growing a beard is pretty much impossible for you. Instead of wasting money on beard growing pills, consider pampering your face for the most irresistible complexion.

• Wash and moisturize your face daily with products designed to target your specific needs, like dryness, acne, blackheads or large pores. 
• Sunscreen is a must to avoid sun damage that can cause fine lines and dark spots. Try Context Oil-Free Daily Moisturizer SPF 15, best for combination and oily skin.
• It’s easy to miss patches of hair while shaving, especially if your beard hair is so fine. Beard bleach is an easy way to mask stray facial hair at home without the pain of waxing. You can find beard bleach at any pharmacy to achieve that barely-there beard look.

 Manscaping Tips: Body Hair 

Tips for Full Body Hair:

When you’re at the beach, your body hair is the main attraction. Here are the best manscaping tips for chest hair and beyond.

• Exfoliators are a must for hairy bodies. Simply apply the exfoliator all over your arms, legs, chest, stomach, back and any other areas that need an extra scrub down.
• To keep a neat appearance, you can use an electric trimmer to trim your chest hair to your desired length.
• Back hair is more difficult (and dangerous) to groom with an electric trimmer. Instead, consider body hair-dye kits. Use a shade lighter than your actual hair so you can still maintain a bushy back that’s less obvious. Don't forget to dye your arms, legs, and armpits to match, so the effect looks more natural.
• To keep your hairy bod feeling fresh, choose clothing made with lightweight, breathable fabric. Consider mesh and cotton materials, instead of denim and leather, to avoid sweat stains. Choose tank tops instead of short sleeves to avoid pit stains.
• Use clinical strength deodorant to keep your hairy underarms feeling fresh.

Tips for No Body Hair:

Have a smooth bod? Here are the best manscaping tips and grooming products for men with less body hair. 

• Sunscreen is a must to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
• After showering, maintain your smooth, bare skin with a Hair Minimizing Body Hydrator. The AB Crew moisturizer works best on shaved or waxed skin, so if you experience patchiness be sure to shave before application. Over time, a hair minimizer will thin out your body hair creating super smooth effect.
• For a sexy effect, apply body oil all over your arms, legs, and chest to make your skin literally shine. Body oil is excellent for guys that experience dry skin. Try AB Crew Shredding Oil for added hydration. You’ll reduce the appearance of cellulite, hydrate your skin with the benefits of Amazonian oil, and smell amazing with their signature fragrance.
• Keep in mind, body oil will highlight areas, so avoid applying it on areas you’d rather not emphasize.

 Manscaping Tips: Pubic Hair 

Tips for Hairy Pubic Styles:

Pubic hair styles are really up to personal preference. Here are the best tips on manscaping your man bush.

• Taking on the man bush doesn’t have to be uncomfortable ordeal, even for men with big balls. Try grooming gels designed to keep your balls cool and dry, like Below The Belt’s Fresh & Dry Balls.
• For excessive perspiration, use cornstarch or a powder formulated for “down there." 
• When considering underwear, try underwear styles made from cotton or cotton blends, like Modus Vivendi's Designer Boxer Briefs.
• To enhance your hairy look, try fringed underwear styles, like this Gregg Homme Fringe Thong.

Tips for Bare Pubic Styles:

If you have a little less hair down there, here are the best manscaping tips for maintaining clean-shaven pubes. 

• Keep your balls groomed with regular trimming to keep things looking tame.
• Maintain all-day freshness with male hygiene products, like an intimate ball wash.
• If you’re looking for sexy underwear, try briefs, thongs or jockstraps designed with mesh materials that'll show off your curves.
• You can pull off pretty much any underwear with intricate accents without worrying about your pubes getting caught in grommets or studs. Consider styles like the Gregg Homme Leather Jockstrap that'll show off just enough.
