With a full-time job and a kid (or kids) that demand so much attention and time, mums barely have time for themselves. Since there are a lot of texts on simple tricks to help mums keep up with their beauty routines, dads who look after their looks are kind of neglected.

Here are some things that can help them maintain good looks with the little time you have.

Fresh Face

The skin on the face shows all the traces of sleepless nights and tiredness. In order to keep it fresh and rested, the most important things are enough sleep and healthy eating habits.

Besides that, the skin needs to be hydrated. Apart from taking enough water, a good hydration cream is a must, especially if you are over 30. The skin tends to be drier as we age, and moisturization is important. Your daily cream should contain SPF to protect your skin from the sun and prevent the appearance of sunspots and wrinkles.

Great Hair

A man with great hair is something that never goes out of style. Again, the health of your body, nails, and hair depends on the food you eat and whether you drink enough water, so make sure you don’t neglect that.

If you are experiencing hair loss, also known as male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, that’s another story. Hair loss is difficult to treat since it’s mostly hereditary and one of the solutions is hair transplantation, which is quite expensive.

For those who want to rock a buzz cut style, scalp micropigmentation is a great solution. It’s a form of scalp tattooing, but improved and looks extremely natural.

This treatment is becoming more and more popular since balding men see it as a great solution to camouflaging hair loss or receding hairline.

Groomed Eyebrows

Perfectly shaped, well-groomed eyebrows look neat and show that you care about your look. So, men pay more attention to eyebrow growing, and they visit cosmetic salons to get their eyebrows done. Usually, some extra hairs are removed and the brows look manly.

But there are men who have sparse brows and would like to add more volume to them. If you are one of them, maybe you can consider microblading. It’s a form of eyebrow tattooing done with manual blades and pigments of natural origin such as those at PhiShop USA.

Microblading is a treatment that involves creating incisions and filling them with pigment. Once healed, they resemble natural hair strokes. That’s why it’s so popular.

Neat Feet

Don’t forget your feet, no matter which season it is. Especially if you play some sport, or go to the gym or jogging. The skin of the feet tends to become hard and it needs exfoliation.

It can be done at home, but it requires time, so a better option is to visit a pedicure salon and get treatment. Getting your feet pedicured is a matter of hygiene – dead skin needs to be removed and it will help the prevention of ingrown nails.

After a detailed pedicure treatment, you can occasionally soak your feet, remove dead skin and apply a nourishing cream to maintain them to prolong the time between two pedicure treatments.

…And Hands

Last but not least – soft hands. There are a lot of efficient hand creams on the market and the best effect will be achieved if you apply one before bed. You’ll wake up with soft hands and you can add the cream during the day whenever you feel your hands are dry.

Professional manicures are also something that’s becoming more and more popular among men, because nobody likes untidy hands with hangnails. Hangnails are annoying, can be painful and also make your nails an area prone to infection. So, make sure your hands are properly manicured.

Body Fitness

No time for the gym? Don’t worry. It’s important to stay physically active. Just small changes can make a lot of difference. So instead of going everywhere by car, take a walk. Avoid using lifts in a building or at work and take stairs.

If you have a baby, long walks with a stroller will be beneficial. Take a bottle of water and whatever you need for the baby and enjoy a nice sunny day outside.

Conclusion

Sometimes, even five minutes a day to dedicate to a skincare routine is enough to make a change and help you look and feel young and refreshed. So, find skincare products that suit your skin type and enjoy its benefits.
