Grooming Advice from cosmetics brand Kyoku.

To say first impressions are everything may appear shallow but it’s a fact that people will make their preliminary suppositions about what kind of person you are from the way you look, and this certainly seems to begin with the face. This is why it is always important to invest in a good skincare regime and in turn take care of the complexion.

The infamous cosmetics and skincare brand Kyoku have come up with the perfect regime regarding men’s skincare. As men generally don’t feel comfortable covering up blemishes with both the latest foundations and concealers, it is important that they take good care of their complexion. This in turn will mean there is no need for such make up products and the face will appear healthy and clear from unsightly blemishes and skin disorders.

Kyoku recommend that you follow a few simple rules in order to keep your skin looking tip top. This begins with a 3 step plan which involves basic grooming; firstly you should always cleanse, then scrub and finally fuel. These three stages should become part of your daily routine and applied both day and night.

A great cleanser is an important product and will work wonders on the skin, cleansers will not only free your skin of dirt and oil, but they will also increase the circulation, bringing blood to the surface of your skin, which in turn promotes skin cell regeneration, improving both the skin’s flexibility and elasticity.

The Kyoku for Men’s Daily Facial Cleanser can be used as an everyday cleanser, and it is strong enough to clean deep down to the pores as well as beneath the skin’s surface. Skin friendly ingredients housed in the formula include ginseng and peppermint leaf. This will both awaken and also rejuvenate the skin. Elements of camellia seed work to gently inject the skin with moisturise and oat straw extract combats irritation.

How to achieve the perfect brows.

How to achieve the perfect brows.

In order to frame and lift your face you need to create the perfect brows, to do this you should first pluck your eyebrows using a pair of good tweezers. For best results this procedure should be completed just after a bath or a shower, as the skin is at it softest then.

Firstly tweeze away the stray hairs between and underneath the brows. If you are shaping your eyebrows for the first time then a good tip is to use a stencil as a guide. Begin by choosing a natural shaped stencil, and then secondly shade over the stencil. The final step is to pluck away any stray hairs that don’t appear in line with the stencil. The brand Shavata has some great eyebrow shapers on the market; these are available from most beauty counters and can be obtained for a price of £12.

You can use either a powder or a pencil to shade the brows, for best results this should be two shades lighter than your natural brow colour. Brow pencils are best for creating a defined and definite shape whilst brow powders are more suitable for creating a softer style. Powders are especially useful if you have brows which have areas that are quite sparse. When choosing a brow pencil, opt for one that is firm and not waxy in consistency and for best results always keep the product sharpened.

You should apply the pencil or powder-using feather like strokes; this should be completed using a quick action. When opting for powder be sure to purchase an angled brow brush. The cosmetic brand Illamasqua offer brow brushes from £15.50 and are a very popular choice as they easily create the illusion of a shapely brow that is extended in length and appears more defined.

To finish the look apply a translucent powder to the brow, this should be brushed over the eye brows lightly and will in turn aid in keeping the colour to stay put.
