The October heat is the ideal period for men to change their grooming regime.
October is a cruel month in the city. The oppressive heat and the soaring humidity levels call for an immediate vanity case upgrade, especially for men. “When it comes to hot weather, personal hygiene and perspiration are the most pressing issues.
If you normally opt for a deodorant spray, it’s now time to upgrade to an anti-perspirant or a product that is designed to block your sweat glands and ultimately shut off sweat production,” says Nisha Javeri, CEO, Myrah Spa. Men with a lot of hair on their body or underarm hair need to invest in a hair trimmer and keep the hair short to reduce the amount of sweat.
Prevention is better than cure
Emmanuel Balayer, luxury consultant says, “The ‘wet wipe’ style products available are an effective and compact solution to your on the go grooming dilemmas for both your face and body. If you suffer from oily skin or are prone to the odd bit of shiny forehead, then this weather is going to magnify the problem.
Toners like the men-u Matt Skin Refresh Gel are perfect to keep in your bag for a mid-day mattifying refresh. It’s much easier to use top quality moisturisers in your 20s and 30s to slow down skin ageing, than it is trying to rectify the damage at 40. Both No7 For Men and Clarins have developed good products formulated with essential nutrients to give your skin a boost.”
Spatastic October
Nisha says, “The moment the temperature rises the importance of SPF protection rises with it. One must use minimum SPF 15 on the face to avoid getting sun burnt and to protect against skin ageing, pigmentation and skin cancer.”
She recommends some at home tricks or spa sessions. “It’s not necessary to go to a posh spa for a relaxing experience, You can have the same feel at home as well,” says she.
Grooming kit
Anurag Tyagi, Brand Manager — Kiehl’s, India says, “To battle the October heat, we recommend the following in his grooming kit, a face wash such as the Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energising Face Wash for cleansing the sweat, grime and heat off the face at least twice a day.
The Facial Fuel Energising Scrub that can be used at least three times a week to get rid of accumulated dead skin cells and keep the skin looking clean and fresh. For shaving, we recommend the Facial Fuel Sky Flyin’ Foaming Multi-Gel both as a shave gel and a face cleanser. To cool off the razor burns and also control excessive oiliness, we recommend the Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion as an after-shave splash.
A moisturiser is an absolute must (it is a myth that the skin doesn’t need topical additional moisturising when it’s hot and sweaty, the heat in fact pulls out all the natural moisture present in the skin and therefore replenishing it is that much more important).”
Nisha javeri recommends:
Prepare the mood, light some aroma candles and play some calming and soothing music.
Make your bath by running hot water and add two cups of milk if you have dry skin or just any bath salts to relax for 20 minutes.
Use a hot towel with few drops of essential oil and cover your face with it to open the pores.
Cleanse your face and use a facial scrub to exfoliate your skin and clear off dead skin cells.
Apply a clay mask to draw out impurities or make a mask at home with fresh pineapple or papaya (paste)a bit of olive oil and honey and keep for 10 minutes.
Empty the bath and rinse yourself with cool water for good circulation. Exfoliate your body mixing with your regular body wash ¼ cup raw sugar cane, two teaspoon coconut milk and a few drops of your favourite essential oil to remove the dead skin cells.
Dry yourself and use a moisturiser with a nice aroma to make you feel good all day.
Use cold cucumber slices and leave as an eye pack for two minutes to refresh your eyes.
End with applying a moisturiser for the face and sip on some hot green tea.
