Beauty Round-Up: Men’s Edition

In light of the impending Father’s Day celebrations, complete with the traditional gifting of grill equipment and golf balls, we thought we’d go a bit of a different route. Ergo, this beauty round up is dedicated to men’s blogs covering style, skincare, and grooming, some of our favorite topics.

• In order to be fully prepared to tackle the world at large with style, Just A Guy Thing has prepared 10 more style tips that every man should know. And it’s a good thing they did, because I had no idea that grey undershirts show through less than white undershirts when worn under light shirts. That’s useful knowledge considering the new shirts I just bought in summertime shades.

• Though your hands are actually one of the first things that people notice about you, they are an oft-neglected body part when it comes to tidying up. Be Better Guys makes an excellent case for why you should take good care of those mitts, as well as spelling out a step-by-step care guide. When it comes time to exfoliate them into smoothness, grab our popular Hemp Hand Scrub, which works like a charm and has a slightly earthy scent.

• To beard or not to beard? That is a question regularly explored by men across the globe daily. Definitive Beards blog explores the cultural and aesthetic angles of beards through photos. Check out presidents, politicians, and athletes and their signature beard styles for inspiration. If your firmly anti-beard, then make sure you’re taking good care of your face with old-school shaving accessories.

• Ever met a guy who carried a handkerchief? I think my grandfather used to, but I can’t remember having seen one in the past decade or so, except at very formal occasions. The Art of Manliness defends the retro habit of using a hankie, and makes the additional point that it is just one more manly accessory to have fun with.

• Ever had to ask yourself the skinny jeans question? You know, “Do I wear them or not?” If you have, then this hilarious blog post and graphic from Grooming Guys is definitely for you.
