The perfectly groomed gentleman A no nonsense guide to improving your looks.The days when the majority of men only had a tube of toothpaste, a razor, soap and a comb as their only grooming companions are disappearing - fast. IRENE NJOROGE-WALKER gives tips on how men can keep themselves looking good with the products available. Most men have remained relatively uninformed about the basics of hair and skin care. This has lead to some of the most common problems experienced by men. BASIC SKIN CARE FOR MEN The most common condition suffered by men is that of dry skin. This can be caused by the use of soap, which dries out the skin. To counteract this, and add protection to the dry areas, apply a thin film of a greasy ointment such as Vaseline, or a lighter preparation straight after washing. Also, avoid bathing in water that is too hot. Hot water strips the skin of sebum (natural oil found in skin) and tends to hasten drying. Over exposure to the sun, dry air and the use of drying solvent chemicals should be avoided. For sufferers of greasy skin, the most practical solution is daily and thorough skin cleansing. You may opt for a cleansing lotion and a toner. These work by stripping your face of oil and grease, leaving the skin clean and tingling with freshness. Alternatively, soap and water will do the job just as well. Wash twice a day or even thrice, depending on how oily your skin is. SHAVING ADVICE Bear in mind that hair ends are ragged when shaved using an electric razor and smooth when shaved with a blade. With routine shaving, the blade tends to cut hair closer to the surface and produces an even stubble of growth. A good shave begins with the most effective beard softener available: Water. Only two minutes of contact with hot water are required for the beard to be fully hydrated. To make the entire job more pleasant, lathering up with shaving cream further hydrates and lubricates the skin, thus making a sharp blade glide over the hairs slicing them smoothly and close to the skin. As to whether or not to use shaving creams, soap, aerosols etc. let your own skin be the best guide. Oily skinned men are better off using a shaving soap worked up to a later using a shaving brush. The soap removes grease from the skin better than creams and aerosol foams. Ingrown beards plague many men. These sharply pointed hairs re-enter the skin while growing resulting in bumps and scarring of the skin. Some theories contend that it is due to genetics that cause some men to have very coarse hair that makes tight curls. One way to prevent this is to stop shaving and grow a beard if that would be acceptable. The problem is further compounded by shaving upwards and too close because the hair is cut at an angle causing it to grow into a rough edge, which is more likely to catch in the skin and grow inwards. Using a blunt blade causes the hair cut to have a sharp angle due to pressure used while shaving. To counteract this, use a sharp new blade for every shave. The most effective treatment for this problem involves avoiding the use of straight, safety and electric razors. Opt for chemical hair removers (depilatories). If irritation develops from using depilatories try splashing warm water on face a few minutes after use, then wash thoroughly with soap and follow by an application of a steroid cream. MENS HAIR CARE A basic fortnightly hair cut and use of hair tonic once a week is enough to keep most men's hair looking neat. Avoid daily washing, as this dries the scalp, and causes the hair to develop a brownish tint. GUIDE TO MEN'S GROOMING PRODUCTS Any man who fancies himself as having a splash of style is bound to have some of the following items in his personal care kit: Aftershave - Nothing feels better than slapping a freshly shaven smooth face with an after-shave After-shave is a combination of perfume alcohol and anaesthetic. Some of them can be very drying to skin if they contain over 50% alcohol. They keep the user feeling fresh until the fragrance evaporates. Cologne - Most men have their favourite cologne, which they use depending on the mood they are in. Cologne is slightly stronger than aftershave, and most last all day long. Pomades - This is used to impart sheen to the hair. It is a solid preparation, which is pleasant smelling. Hair Tonics - These are very popular, and are light and not greasy. They leave the hair with a light film of oil, giving it sheen. Anti-perspirants - these are made from aluminium sulphate, which is the active ingredient. They work by closing up the sweat pores and reducing the flow of sweat by up to 55%. They reduce odour by killing bacteria if combined with a deodorant. DAILY CARE CHECKLIST Before you leave the house everyday check on the following: Hair - did you comb it? If not why? Eyes - Are they bloodshot? Use eye drops immediately Eyebrows - Straighten them out. Skin - Should be neither dry nor oily Shaving - no nicks please! Hands - Should not look ashen. Handkerchief - where is it? Lips - Use a clear lip balm whenever they feel dry Sweat - Should not go unchecked Breath - Brush tongue and teeth thoroughly Clothes - ironed and not recycled Shoes - polished of course The author is a beauty consultant and trainer at Personal Care Institute Corner Hse.)

I think u should seek advice from u'r mother,afterall she is the only woman who knows whats good for you.Falling in love is not a sin,having a boyfriend is a different story. From u'r writings u seemed to be so fragile and vulnerable,i somehow felt sorry for you.i'm cautiosly optimistic that u will make the right decisions in the future.

I thought the only thing that is turned on and off was the light,had no idea ladies had a switch too,in that case does it come with automatic stimulation like the new cadillac brakes

hibo Thanks for the recipe,i will make sure i save it for my future wife. But i can cook mashed potatoes,pour the potatoe flour(check the label, Idaho grown is the best) on a bowl,add milk and margarine and two minutes in the microwave, and its good to go.You don't a need a house wife no more........ I got another one.......i don't know what to call it,scrambled eggs or something like that.fry some cooking oil and onions in a pan,add real fresh tomotoes(not canned one)sliced into small pieces,add the eggs and stir until its no more liquid and its all done.the whole process should take less than five minutes. Do not eat it by itself shi-t is supposed to go with bread and u have breakfast.In other words best when served with bread like products.

Leaving me in bed while you go play video games, smoke a cigarette,watch tv...ect.... immediately afterwards is highly inadvisable if you would like my behavior to be repeated in the future. lool thats so true,most guys will rather play video game than just sit there with the lady,I guess men just care about the moment.

LOOOOOOOOOL did i say women always attract attention even if its not good for them.The Afghanistan part was funny,certainly i'm not heading there with b-52's patrolling the air

Benevolent beauty i can't believe apretty lady like you hates my lakers,e-z on the hate we have alot in common like the purple and the yellow.........the vikings too have it remember and not to mention lakers are named after city of lakes Minneapolis Anyway the spurs are whoopin our azz right now, but anything can happen,furthemore i'm coming to believe three in a row is something to be proud of.

Instinct poet i can't believe u have two tickets,i got no tickets but i got an original wild jersey.I bought it on 2000 before the wild had signed any players and as such my jersey has no name and no number. I can't go to the game since i'm working but pick one of those halimos in cedar,and give her a high speed 101 of hockey like what powerplays is,what they mean by 2line play,icing or crossing the blueline. The wild have done us proud,it was an amazing back2back comeback.I hope they keep on making history. By the way what it btw Anaheim and us,remember last season it was Twins and Anaheim Angels,i hope they don't eliminate us this time around.

I don't really give af**k about weddings until i believe its my turn,and in that case i'm obliged to honour my family values. I define simplicity and as such i will most likely not do anything thats goes head on collision with my faith.Someone of the weddings i have seen lately have become aplace for soliciting sex.In otherwards it ain't the wedding couple who gonna have sex that night,some others will do it illegally courtesy of you.Remember its u'r wedding and u'r the one who brought this pple together and whatever bad they do is on you, since you're the cause of them coming together in the first.And a wedding with such a bad footing definately won't last that long coz it doesn't look like it was blessed by God. Here in my city,somali weddings cost about or close $20000......i'm not so sure how my fellow somalis value money, but that to me sounds a whole lot of money,i mean think of the folks in Africa,i swear that money will change the life 8 kids and their parents for good, and here is some of us burning it off in one night and even worser than that is the fact that 95% of somalis do their weddings on money borrowed either from other somalis or from the bank. The keyword in this weddings is to impress others so folks will talk about how huge the wedding was.I say nothing impressive about u'r wedding when certainly u and u'r new wife are going to live in public housing.

I see you're a bag of chips and all that.So are you cute or pretty or beautiful,remmeber there is abig difference btw the three. Cute..........is when u attract high school boys pretty ....is when real men notice you beautiful..........is when woman too notice u have recieved a letter of envy from the sun saying she is jealous coz u is hotter than her. Anyway it aint funny to me calling others ugly,remember men are not supposed to be pretty and if they were they are called gay. Aman is just supposed to be amanly man and for a man to grab u'r azz,u must been in place u'r momma won't recommend for any woman.Lets admit the guy was atotal jerk,however u ain't no different than him,u should have left u'r fine azz at home otherwise u can't blame a brother for grabbing a public property..........any azz brought to a party can be claimed by the guy sitting next to it. I hope next time u will stay at home so u don't have to worry about anyone grabing anything.The only thing that needs to be grabbed is doritos.

Runaway virgin.....and mizz lexus.......why did i vote for them?well its simple........imagine having a runaway virgin and alexus.life can't get any better than that for a man.

Darman LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL thats was funny...........no wonder women in minneapolis have been fighting over you.i give u five stars out of 5.

Tell me about money and i will arrive there faster than the 911 crew.In my world money comes next to religion,it just sits there next to my believe in God. Forget about pple telling u about money can't buy u happiness,trust me with money in u'r saving account almost everything belongs to u,from women to the government.

They sure will lose the weght but i'm not so sure if they will come back alive to celebrate the effort......in Somalia killing ain't fun but oh yeah somebody gotta do it

Barwaaqo Haven't heard about that before, but i will try just to satisfy my curiosity.

LLOOOOL @ Quitestorm.........i thought it was Tyrese or was it Jamal. Anyway its the nature of life out here in the west,lets admit it we somali men sometimes do bad things like crossing to the boarder they call whitewomen and furthermore i can't think of any romantic somali song i could listen to with my wife or whoever else is supposed to replace her....hassan Samatar is so...........

Like father like son.Definately u will mostly likely,i mean close to 95% behave the same way u'r parents behave. A man is as good as his father and a girl's reputation depends on what kind of a woman her mother is. If you're a good person today, mostly its be'coz of u'r parents more than u'r own freewill.

Barwaago Nice pair of rollin' eyes,what else can u roll,a tonque,carpet,sambus,.......anyway u look good when u roll 'em. Haruun ***************EDITED**************** [ May 07, 2003, 06:20: Message edited by: Admin ]

Grey M&M I can't believe u just broke the 2rules,remember the orientation....what we discussed. rule 1 -don't break the contract,even if u'r life is in danger. Rule 2--there's no rule except rule no 1. 35 wasn't whta i told..........if i'm not wrong i think i told 35 and 11 months and thats was 2 months ago.Which in plain langauge means i'm officially 36 yrs and 1 months old. By the way i hope u haven't old them that i have bald head and my first wife divorce me coz i couldn't follow the Viagra manual. Barwaago i see you really care about me,in that case may i say chilvary is alive and kickin lool CuTE LIeL GIRL Yes u neva had disrespected me and certainly i neva said u is a bad person.however how i judge things in my world is abit different than what you're used to.Anyway none bad about you. Any given time i have zero% respect for you as long as i don't know,however as times goes and i come to know u in person i will make an effort of giving you afew points until in the end u end up with 100% mark.U see u don't have to disrespect me to start from the scratch. By the way since you're good at guessing my age,do u also happen to know the game "Guess who is coming for dinner?I think its agood movie for those who're bored.

shi-t can't believ the brothers ain't wining this,'ope this helps.

Rudy Y should u be worried about anything that doesn't belong to you. Bleach or no bleach thats her body,let her do whatever she wants,it ain't like any girl will come to u and ask u "rudy should i or should i not bleach my boobs?
