While not many men may enjoy some of the grooming rituals they must undergo, sometimes it's necessary to do a little maintenance when it comes to hygiene and grooming. Most men shower and shave, but they're missing a few key steps that could raise their game and make a difference in their appearance and skin health. First, men are as susceptible to skin cancer as women. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that more men get melanoma - the most serious skin cancer - than women, and they are twice as likely to die of it. So it's important for men to slather on a moisturizer with sunscreen each and every day. It wouldn't hurt for that moisturizer to have some antiaging ingredients such as retinol, either. Kiehl's is a wonderful line of skin care for both men and women, and it features plenty of moisturizing options with SPF. Clinique, a department store favorite of many women, also has its own men's line featuring its Age Defense Hydrator SPF 15, which also has the added benefit of soothing freshly shaved skin.

It may be tough to convince your man to exfoliate, but if he's using a bar of soap that already contains exfoliants, then he'll be much softer to the touch. Kiehl's bar soap for men contains grains that will keep his skin smooth. When it comes to shaving, many men abuse their skin. Encourage your man to use a sharp razor every time to minimize redness and blotchiness, and have him invest in a shaving brush, which creates a better lather and lifts hairs away from the face. Tending to other hairs - on the neck, chest, inside the nose and ears - is essential as well. A good set of clippers can help make the job easier. It doesn't take much for a man to look his best - just a few decent products and a little extra effort go a long way.
