SIX THINGS EVERY MAN SHOULD DO EVERY MORNING

THE 6 ESSENTIAL STEPS FOR A PERFECT MALE GROOMING ROUTINE

We get it—mornings are tough. Dragging yourself out of bed, opening your eyes, and stumbling to the bathroom without hitting a corner can feel like a victory. However, there are a few things that, while they may require a bit of effort at first, can yield significant benefits for you and your skin. Dedicating less than 15 minutes to this "morning routine" can help you feel like a new man—with a refreshed face, smooth skin, and the confidence to start your day right.

Here are the six things you should do every morning:

1. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER

While your first instinct in the morning might be to grab a cup of coffee, make sure to drink at least one glass of water first. It’s great for your health, your skin, and can help wake you up.

2. BRUSH YOUR TEETH

This might seem obvious, but it’s a critical part of starting both your morning routine and your day. Make sure you’re using the right toothpaste for the best results.

3. SHOWER AND SHAMPOO

Take a full shower to wake yourself up completely, especially if you use a high-quality, emollient body wash that cleanses while leaving your skin soft and hydrated. While it’s not recommended to wash your hair daily, make sure you’re using the right shampoo on hair-washing days.

4. WASH, CLEANSE, AND EXFOLIATE

Once you’ve taken care of your body, focus on your face. Use a suitable cleanser to wash and purify your skin, removing impurities without causing damage. We recommend a soap-free foaming gel, which is quick and easy to apply—just rub a small amount onto your wet hands and apply it to your damp face and neck. Once a week, add an extra step with a facial scrub to remove dead skin cells. Our recommended scrub is gentle enough for daily use, activated by water, and should be massaged in upward circular motions.

5. SHAVING TIME

As we’ve mentioned before, shaving right after a shower is ideal since the warm water opens your pores, reducing skin irritation. Follow the proper shaving steps (detailed in another article) and always use high-quality products before and after shaving. It’s essential to finish with a soothing aftershave balm to protect and hydrate your skin.

6. STYLING TO FINISH

Wrap up your morning routine with hair styling. Whether you prefer sea salt spray or a styling paste, the goal is to achieve a great look while maintaining your hair’s health—keeping it soft, nourished, and hydrated.
