As the weather gets warmer, and the layers slowly come off, we all want our bodies to look good. So what do we do? We hit the gym and watch what we eat, right? Unfortunately, the most popular weight loss diet for men (Low Carb. – High Protein) is not always the best.
Here are a few reasons why you may want to re-think this option…
- Very little or no carbohydrates in your diet can deprive your body of glycogen (glucose). - when your body lacks glucose, the signs of dehydration can be seen on your skin and especially your face.
- A diet absent of glucose doesn’t give fuel to the muscles and tissues, which can lead to saggy skin that lacks proper tone - says NYC aesthetician Claudia Pinto.
- “Cutting out carbs for long periods of time is horrible for your body – it can lead to osteoporosis, kidney stones and high cholesterol.” - Quote from New York City nutritionist Oz Garcia

I don’t think that I need to expound on this much more…
One of the responsibilities of a barber is to finish off a haircut with a quick clean-up of the eyebrows, ears and the nose. If he or she isn’t doing that, then you can always ask them to do so. But, you should never rely on anyone to do something you clearly can do on your own, got it?
So, always keep a nose trimmer handy (I use the Groom Mate Platium XL Nose Trimmer), so you can take care of them yourself in between visits to your barber. After all, that is another benefit to having a mirror in the bathroom!

“It’s not a wax, not a paste and not a creme…” So what is it? It’s an amazing invention in hair grooming that combines all three!
Sumotech by Bumble and bumble
Finish – Matted: For when you want a product that gives good hold without the blinding effects when you’re in the sun!
Texture – Creamy-paste: Allows your fingers to style like a pro, without making it seem like you spent forever in the mirror.
Hold – Mid-weight: Provides a subtle hold that lasts all day but also allows the freedom to re-style at any point with just the use of your fingers, all without weakening the hold.
Sumotech is a fantastic addition to your grooming kit. Priced competitively between $22 -$25, you can’t go wrong. Trust me, I’ve been using Sumotech for the past 3 years, on roughly 85% of my customers!
In short, get it!
