Getting ready for work can become so normal that you stop looking closely at yourself. You might make sure your clothes look good but miss a few small grooming spots. Other people often see these tiny mistakes right away. If you spend a little time on the details you can really improve your look. It is worth the extra few seconds.
Unruly Ear And Nose Hair
We all get older and hair begins to show up in our ears and noses. It can get pretty long before you even see it in the mirror. Friends might notice these hairs during a chat. They stick out or catch the light and draw some attention.
Neglected Back Of The Neck
You might have a great haircut from the front but the hair on the back of your neck grows back faster than the rest. If you do not trim that area between barbershop visits it can start looking messy and hide the sharp lines of your haircut.
Overgrown Or Dirty Fingernails
People look at your hands more than you think especially when you are shaking hands or using your phone during a meeting. Keeping your nails trimmed short and cleaning out any dirt underneath is a simple way to look much more put together.
The Unblended Beard Line
Trimming at home can leave a sharp neck line that looks a bit weird. This happens when you stop the trimmer too soon. Try to fade the edge or place it right above your throat. It makes your facial hair look much cleaner and better.
Dry And Cracked Lips
Weather and dehydration can make your lips look rough and most guys forget that this is actually a part of grooming too. Using a basic lip balm takes two seconds and it prevents that peeling look that can be quite distracting when you are talking.
Using Too Much Cologne
You can stop noticing your own smell over time. This leads to spraying way too much on yourself. If others smell you from far away you should probably use less. A couple of quick sprays usually works better for most people in daily life.
Dusty Or Scuffed Shoes
Your suit might look amazing but dusty shoes pull the focus away. Dirt and stains make a nice outfit look much worse than it is. Try wiping your footwear down on the weekend. Doing this suggests you are a person who notices the small stuff.
Shaggy Eyebrows
Eyebrows can get very bushy and long as the years go by which can make your eyes look tired or heavy. Just a quick trim with some small scissors or a comb can open up your face and make you look much more awake.
Ashy Skin On Elbows And Hands
Dry skin often turns white or light. This shows up easily on dark shirts or sleeves. You might notice little flakes on your arms or hands during the day. Putting on some cream after a bath helps. It keeps skin soft and stops the dust from falling.
Yellowing Teeth Stains
Drinking coffee or tea every day is a habit for most of us but it does leave a mark over time that shows up in your smile. Using a whitening toothpaste or just keeping up with regular dental cleanings helps keep your smile looking bright and clean.
