Over the years, grooming tips and tricks have been improving to help any guy step up in their hygiene game and look their best. Let's be honest; no guy wants to look dirty or unkempt because first of all, it's unprofessional. 

Second, if you're single and looking for a partner, being well-groomed is an excellent way to start. So in this article, we'll be sharing some "hacks" that you can start doing to improve your grooming drastically.

1.) Maintain A Fresh Haircut

This tip doesn't mean getting a fresh haircut every single week because it would be impractical and time-consuming. You should learn how to extend the life of your haircuts. That way, you can look fresh in between cuts. 

What we recommend is to shave the back of your neck regularly. Shaving the back of your neck will keep your look fresh and clean as if you just got a haircut. Use clippers to blend your beard up to your actual hair. 

2.) Upgrade to an Electric Toothbrush

Brushing a few times a day is the least you should be doing. If you want to have a beautiful and clean set of teeth, Then you should definitely invest in an electric toothbrush. An electric toothbrush is proven to be better and more efficient than an ordinary toothbrush, it cleans deeper, and the vibrating bristles remove any dirt from your teeth and gums. 

3.) Learn The Proper Way To Pop Zits

Generally, it's highly discouraged to try and pop zits in the first place. Popping them will make them look more noticeable, leave scars, and infect the area with your hands. But for emergencies where you really need to pop them, then don't use your dirty fingers. Use a tissue instead. 

Using a tissue in popping zits keeps the bacteria away from your face and prevents any more pimples from showing up. Also, clean the popped area as soon as you're done so that you can be sure your skin is clean and blister-free. 

4.) Trim Your Beard Properly

Nowadays, the secret to having a neat beard is to style it and make it look like you didn't style it at all. Here's the truth: if your beard is too perfect, then people might think you're too robotic or too done-up. If your beard's too messy, they'll think your unkempt. So find that good middle ground or sweet spot. 

What you want to do is to trim your beard in an even length and shave your neck. The lines on your cheek and neck don't need to be perfectly straight, just make sure you don't have hair going up to your eyeballs because that will look bad. It's also recommended to search for fresh beard ideas to change up your style from time to time. 

5.) Get Rid Of Dark Circles

There are a lot of tips online on how to get rid of stubborn dark circles under your eyes. Eye creams, for example, can help, so try to apply them every morning and night and keep track of the progress. But honestly, you need two more things to get rid of those dark circles.

One, get adequate sleep. For some, sleeping 8 hours a day seems like a waste of time, but your body needs to rest, and sleeping is literally a necessity. Two, stay hydrated because when you are dehydrated, it will significantly affect how you feel and how you look, especially around your eye area. 

6.) Exfoliate Your Skin

Most guys don't know a lot about skincare, and that's fine. But we should at least know how to do the basics, and one of the basics besides washing your face and wearing sunscreen is exfoliating your face every few days. 

When you're exfoliating, you are getting rid of lifeless, dirty, and damaged skin from your face. By getting rid of those unwanted elements, you are making way for fresh new skin that is going to replace that old one. 

7.) Eliminate Bad Body Odor

Typically, guys wear deodorants during the day, and most guys are okay with that. But if you want the extra protection, we recommend applying antiperspirants at night before you go to bed. It will be a lot more effective that way, and the antiperspirant will actually go deeper into your skin to block that bad smell from ever coming out.
