For guys on the go, hygiene is always a top priority, but grooming somehow falls by the wayside. It’s common to think that grooming takes too long saving only for special occasions. Yet, the truth is, you should always feel good about how you look. Whether you’re headed to work or to workout at the gym, a guy deserves to feel confident. Part of that means grooming on a regular basis. If time is a problem for you, there is some good news. There are certain products you can purchase and simple techniques that can have you looking handsome on the fly.

Simple Step Skincare Products

Keeping a fresh face is the first step to appearing well-groomed. Your skin is the first thing others will see so taking care of it is a must. If you don’t have time for a drawn-out process every morning, look for a men’s skincare line with just a few steps to complete. As you shop for skincare products, be sure to look for sunscreen and all-natural ingredients for added protection and youthful looking skin.

Shave in the Shower

There’s nothing attractive about stubble all on a guy’s face. Getting rid of it doesn’t have to take additional time, just shave in the shower. What’s great is the steam from the shower helps to open up your pores for a clean shave. It doesn’t hurt that you won’t have to clean those tiny hairs out the sink.

Keep Nails Clean

Dirty nails is a terrible impression and should not be tolerated. You may not have the time to give yourself a full-on manicure, but you should, at the very least, keep your nails clean. After you get out of the shower, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Then, using a small brush, hold your hands under water and brush the tops of your nails to remove any stuck dirt.

Use Styling Gel

Need a shape up but don’t have time to visit the barber or do it yourself? You’ll be amazed at what a small dab of styling gel can do for you. After you’ve showered and washed your hair, towel dry and apply some gel. Comb and style as usual for a trendy new look in just a few minutes.

Moisturize the Skin

There’s no way around this one fellas. Having dry and ashy skin is not cool. So, make sure that you lotion up to add moisture to your skin. A quick rub and apply will only take you a few minutes but will make a big difference in your appearance.

Shampoo and Conditioner

You can kill a few birds with one stone by simply using shampoo and conditioner. It can be used to wash and moisturize your beard. Conditioner can also double as a shaving cream in the shower when you’re trimming those chest hairs.

Take Care of Yourself

Here’s a big grooming tip that no man should overlook – self-care. When you take care of yourself on a daily basis, it improves your health from the inside out reducing the amount of work you have to put in each day. Here are some quick solutions for practicing self-care.

  • Stay hydrated – your body needs water to function. Consuming 8 glasses a day or more is ideal for your health. It improves function and focus, boosts energy and mood, and moisturizes the hair and skin from the inside out. Drinking your daily dose of water means less dandruff, dry skin, skin imperfections, and hair trouble.
  • Workout – getting your heart pumping does wonders for your outer appearance. As you work up a sweat, your body is releasing toxins from the body that cause aging and deterioration. Jogging just 30 minutes a day before you go to work can change how you look and feel from the inside out.
  • Watch what you eat – when they said you are what you eat, they weren’t kidding. The foods you consume can show up on your body in ways that lower your confidence. From skin breakouts to weight fluctuations, there’s a lot that can happen if you’re eating wrong. Try eating clean foods instead for better skin and healthier weight management.

When time is limited it may seem like the only way to keep up is to cut your morning routines short. Though taking a shower, slapping on cologne, and having a decent outfit on is a great start, you can improve your appearance. Use the above quick tips to grooming and look your best at a moment’s notice. For extra-fast grooming, taking care of yourself must also remain a priority as it helps to naturally take care of a lot of those imperfections.
