My younger brother, Francis, is a metrosexual. While I lug around a “kikay” kit my brother is never with his “pogi” pack, a vanity case filled with his very own personal care essentials.
Metrosexual is a term used to describe heterosexual men with a strong concern for their physical appearance. Metrosexual men are often thought of as gay because of their high maintenance beauty and health care regimen and style philosophy of looking neat and polished.
Metrosexuality is a fairly recent phenomenon. Men are becoming more mindful of their looks and health, their lifestyle in general; and isn’t that a good thing? This emphasizes the fact that beauty and the desire to be beautiful is not gender specific, men can be beautiful, too!

If you’re deprived of sun with no hols planned, you’re depressed about your whiteness and you want a golden tan whatever the weather, tanning salons and beds can be a solution, but they’re not as simple or harmless as you may think.The advantages of Sunbeds:Aside from the obvious summer skin whatever the weather, why do people risk sunbeds over other types of fake tan (pills, self tanners and moisturizers)?
First of all, salon tanning is quick and convenient, saves you from spending hours roasting on the beach to get the color you want, and gives you an even tan all over without bikini marks or redness. Home sunbeds are also available so you don’t have to move from your front room!From a more medical point of view, you get the majority of your required Vitamin D intake through exposure to UV light, so sunbeds can be used to treat problems such as psoriasis or vitamin D deficiency. Some advice, Do not expose yourself if you have phototype I or II skin or you’re under 18 (because your skin is still very sensitive), if you are going on holiday or you already have sunburn, if you have a large number of freckles/beauty spots or skin problems.
It is not enough that you wash your beard with soap and water. If the hair on top of your head gets pampered with a special kind of shampoo, then do it for your beard too. If you’re maintaining a long or short beard, or perhaps shaving it off totally, then you might as well try the products Bluebeards Original offers. Surprisingly, Bluebeards Original only has two products in the market: the Beard Saver for those who have beards, and Beard Wash for those who are growing beards. These two products prevent you from having that itchy skin underneath your beard and will help you grow your beard healthily.
