Tips for grooms to keep them looking their best
Looking their best
While a lot of eyes are on the bride at a wedding ceremony,
her eyes will be on the groom and he has to look his best.
To make sure she sees the man she wants to see that day,
follow these simple tips. (Ms Photo)
MS — Weddings are a chance for
couples tying the knot to be the cen-
tre of attention. All eyes will be
glued to the bride and groom on this
special day, which makes it even
more important for couples to look
their collective best.
Brides might garner most of the
attention on a couple's wedding day,
but dashing grooms also will get
their share of attention. As a result,
grooms must be just as diligent as
their blushing brides with regard to
grooming and appearance on their
wedding days. To look picture -per-
fect, grooms may want to include
these grooming tips in their wedding
day preparation.
• Hair: Schedule a haircut with a
professional stylist roughly a week
before the wedding to get your hair
shaped and trimmed. Although

trendy hairstyles may show off cre-
ativity, keep in mind that photos last
forever, and it's often better to stick
with a classic cut. A barber or stylist
may suggest styles that best suit your
face shape and hair texture. Above
all, the haircut should be neat. Resist
the urge to wash your hair every day
before the wedding. Allow some nat-
ural oils to build up and make your
hair shine in a healthy way.
• Shaving: Shaving is another
thing grooms must consider. If you
have a beard, make sure it is clean,
combed and trimmed. Men who
shave the day of their weddings may
find their skin is sensitive and irritat-
ed, which can lead to redness.
Unless your facial hair grows espe-
cially fast, shave the evening before.
This is a good time to splurge on a
professional shave with a straight
razor at a barber shop. A hot shave
from a professional will produce a
close shave with the least amount of
irritation when done correctly.
• Hands: Grooms also may want
to book a manicure. Keep in mind
that salons will do men's non -polish
manicures and pedicures, and they
can be well worth the investment.
Photos of entwined hands or close-
ups of the ring exchange will have
guests zeroing in on your fingers.
Have hands look their best with
clean, shaped fingernails and
trimmed cuticles.
• Skin: Get plenty of sleep the
night prior to the wedding. Being
well rested will help reduce puffy
eyes, dark circles and sallow skin. It
will also put you in a more positive
mood, which can help you enjoy the
day even more.
The day of the wedding, shower
using water and a mild soap. Avoid
any skin irritation by patting your
face and body dry, rather than rub-
bing it with the towel. Moisturize
your skin to avoid dry patches.
Stores sell many moisturizers geared
toward men's needs, often in
unscented or more masculine fra-
grances.
Reducing shine is key for wedding
day photos. Rely on face and hair
products that will not add unneces-
sary sheen to your skin or hair to
avoid making you look greasy. Matte
hair waxes and sprays will tame
tresses. Also, ask your fiancee to
pick you up a package of blotting tis-
sues if you are prone to oily skin.
These absorbent, typically rice -
paper sheets will remove oil from
your face and keep sheen to a mini-
mum.
• Smile: Make sure your teeth
have been thoroughly brushed and
that you have used a minty mouth-
wash so you're primed for that first
kiss. Many grooms also opt for
whitening treatments prior to the
wedding so they have a dazzling
smile.
On their wedding days, grooms
will likely be photographed more
than any other time in their lives.
That means putting extra effort into
personal grooming to look their best.
