﻿The PERFECT Grooming Essentials For Your Age
[0:00:00] So, let’s start this off with razors.
Which one is right for your age? I started to shave when I was 14 and started off with a cheap
one blade razor like this and I have to admit, it was not the best experience. [Sound effect]
Not only did I have bad technique, but I was using a tool that honestly
isn’t very good. This one-bladed razors, yeah, they’re just I would skip over them entirely.
That being said, I would recommend a quality double-bladed disposable razor. Why? Because
they’re inexpensive, they’re relatively easy to use and can do a much better job
giving a shave to a young man. And I also like the size of the head. It just makes it really easy to
get in and around the nose and get the job done. Now, I know some of you guys are screaming right
now, “Come on, Antonio. Start the kid off right. Go with a double-bladed safety razor.” And,
I agree, this is one of the best options out there, but it does require a bit of skill.
So, I’m going to reserve it for the guy that’s just out of college,
he’s got his fancy degree, he’s 23. Yeah, switch over to the double-bladed safety razor.
Now, what about electric razors? There are some good options out there and I’m going to recommend
the electric razor, let’s say for the 25-year old 1st lieutenant who’s partying up in Pensacola.
Yeah, that was me and this is the razor, actually, the electric razor I used to use.
Let’s just say you’d have a great night and you run into formation because you got to show up
and you realized you didn’t shave, so you reach in your glove box and you pull
out an electric razor that gets the job done. And what about the straight razor? You, you’re
38 years old going through a midlife crisis. You’ve already spawned off two kids and you’ve
got a million dollars in life insurance. Yeah, let’s go ahead and use the cut throat. Seriously,
it’s a great razor, definitely requires skill and you need to be careful with it.
In today’s video, gents, we’re talking about the right grooming product, the right grooming tools
for your age. [Music]
Next up, we’ve got a sea salt body scrub. I see this for a 19-year old, maybe you’re 29,
but dealing with backne. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about, acne on your back.
And you’re looking at the different treatment the different options, something as simple
as a sea salt body scrub can do wonders. Why? It’s an exfoliator for your body, so it’s
going to go in there and it’s going to deep clean the skin. You don’t want to use it every time you
go into the shower. But, every other time, this is going to do wonders for cleaning up the pores and
for getting rid of that acne on your back. Next up, we’ve got wrinkle removers a.k.a.
anti-aging creams. So, you’re 42 years old working sales in Southern California. You engage with a
lot of people on Zoom in video meetings, but also, you go meet them face to face. You want to have a
youthful energetic type of feel about you. So, you want to make sure that you find an
anti-aging cream out there that’s using the right products that are encouraging
collagen. Basically, that’s the elasticity in the skin. You want to make sure around the, you know,
the forehead, in and around the eyes, around the cheeks that you aren’t having any sagging.
Now, one of the key ingredients you want to look for is Argireline, also called needle-free Botox.
This is an ingredient that’s going to help to stimulate the production of collagen,
so this is going to help get rid of wrinkles in those trouble areas.
Next up, we’ve got the 35-year old finance guy working on the East Coast working crazy
hours. And guess what? You’re seeing those dark circles under the eyes. What do you do about it?
Well, first up, you want to get more sleep, you want to make sure you drink water,
get exercise. But, if you’ve done all that and you still got the dark circles, you want to find
an eye cream that uses eyebright extract. So, basically, this is going to firm up and
it’s going to cool down that area right in here that’s becoming inflamed. Also,
rosehip oil, coconut oil, and bilberry fruit extract are great for the lower eye.
Now, what about for the guy that’s just turning 30 and you realize your hair is starting to thin.
You look at your hair, it’s not falling out, but it doesn’t have the volume it used to. So,
look for a volumizing shampoo. The difference between a volumizing
shampoo and a lot of regular shampoos is that these are made specifically to
be lighter. They’re not going to stick to the follicles, they’re not going to weigh it down.
A lot of times when you shampoo again and again, you can get that – that product basically
it sticks onto the follicles, doesn’t fully rinse out and it can start to weigh down hair.
You want to make sure you’re using a shampoo that fully cleans the hair and completely rinses out.
Now, after using that volumizing shampoo, you want to use a volumizing conditioner. This is
specifically to go in and to coat the follicle with a very light coat of protecting. Because
basically when you use a shampoo, it strips away the oil and there’s a time period in which
the hair follicle can be damaged. Eventually, it will become brittle and it will fall out.
So, you want to make sure that you’re using a conditioner specifically made to put just
a very light coat, not a heavy coat. You put on a heavy coat, you’re going to have the problem,
again, with the hair laying down. Volumizing conditioners are made specifically to rinse out
well and to leave that very thin light coat. After that, consider the third step which is
using a hair food. So, a hair food is like a conditioner, but you add it after you get out
of the shower when your hair is still moist and you’re going to leave it in your hair.
Now, the right hair type of food it’s not going to leave your hair looking oily or wet,
instead it’s going to dry, but it’s going to go onto the scalp and it’s going to help
remoisturize it to remineralize it just to make your scalp better overall and, again,
is going to leave a little bit of a thin coat on the hair follicles to protect them.
[0:04:53] All right, gents, if you haven’t

Now, what about face moisturizers, when should you start using this? Definitely
by your late twenties. So, the difference by the way between a face moisturizer and like an
anti-aging serum is that serum is usually going to be a lot more expensive because they’ve got
concentrated ingredients that are made to be applied in smaller doses in specific areas.
Now, in general the difference between a face moisturizer and a body moisturizer
is face moisturizers are going to be lighter. That’s because you don’t want to clog up the
pores on the face, otherwise you’re going to start getting acne. Also, you want this
to just not have an oily look to them. So, in general the oil concentration is
going to be lower, they’re going to be lighter, they’re going to be made basically more easily
absorbed into the skin. And on your face, you have thinner skin, so it is something
we’re also going to see certain ingredients sometimes, you know, on the higher end ones,
they are specifically designed for the softness and for the delicacy of the skin on the face.
Body moisturizers. Honestly, at any age, it doesn’t matter if you’re 5, it doesn’t matter
if you’re 50, if you have dry skin, if you’re dealing with irritation, if you live in area,
I know in Wisconsin during the winters it just gets really dry, everyone scratching themselves,
using a good body moisturizer is key. Now, know that your body is going to absorb this
through the skin. That’s the largest organs on your body, so, again, look at the product,
look at the ingredients. You want to make sure that everything in there is natural and organic,
that you’re not going to end up taking something into your body which isn’t good for you.
I know that my daughter uses this. All of my family actually, they use the Vitaman products
because when I look at them, I know that the ingredient deck is solid.
In general, body moisturizers are also made to be thicker and heavier
because they’re put on the body. Don’t use this on the face because they can
clog up pores and cause little bit of irritation like I talked about.
But, with body moisturizers in general, they do have a more oil concentration. That’s because
when you put them on the hand when you put them over on the body, you have thicker skin
and you wanted to sit out there and to take a little bit more time to enter the body and to
sit and protect the skin as well because the body moisturizers will sometimes lock
in moisturizers especially the good ones. Next up, what about hair products? Is there
a right age for particular hair products? I’m going to say no. But in general, if I
had to make a decision, I would say that if you want to go for shine, you want to go for sheen,
that’s probably something for the older men. When I think of a guy dressed up a little bit of
shine in the hair, it’s usually an older guy. Although, a young guy can pull it off. But,
if you’re going to start off maybe just look at a basic styling cream. This isn’t going to
have a whole lot of hold, but it’s going to give your hair basically a little bit more texture,
a little bit more body right there in the hair and I think it’s a great easy option to start with.
Now, again, you know, the pomades and the gels. Now, gels, you wanted to stay exactly
where you want it you placed it, so gel is great there. Pomades are nice because
they have a nice shine and in general, they’re also going to have good hold.
But, let’s just say maybe you’re 47 years old, you’ve still got a good head of hair on you and
you want your hair just to look good, but you don’t want it to shine. You don’t want people
to know that you’re putting in that product, then look at something like maybe a matte mud.
Matte muds are great because the matte right in there it means basically means
no shine and it’s going to do a good job of holding your hair a little bit longer,
but you still wanted to stay where you placed it, so a matte mud is a great option.
Next up, it doesn’t matter if you’re 15, 25, 35, 45, you want to clean your face well,
use a face scrub especially if you’re dealing with acne, if you’ve got oily skin,
if it’s just something that, again, not more than twice, maybe three times a week, every other day,
you want to be using a face scrub. But, what exactly is a face scrub? So
face scrub usually contains exfoliators. Exfoliators being hard particles that will
break up and basically to clean off dead skin on your face or other parts of the body.
So, exfoliators could be salt. In this case, we’ve got small bits of bamboo. You want to avoid
exfoliators that use small plastic particles. And that’s the vast majority by the way of
exfoliators out there that is really bad for the environment. You want to find exfoliators that are
using natural ingredients, again, like salt or bamboo. There are few other options out there.
[0:10:12] Point being is a face scrub is going to clean off
those dead skin cells, so that the new skin cells can rise to the surface. You’re going to basically
look like you’ve got more circulation in your face. It’s just going to give life your face.
But, understand usually the first twelve hours after an exfoliation especially if you’re doing
it using for the first time or you’ve been doing it let’s just say your face gets irritated easily,
depends on your skin type, you want to make sure though that you give your skin time to recover.
So, don’t use an exfoliator right before a date. Maybe 24 hours before the date, that’s
perfectly fine. But, an exfoliator in general is going to have your skin looking good. And,
again, don’t overdo it, two times a week is perfectly fine, every other day if you’re
dealing with a lot of acne or really oily skin. Next up, for the 27-year old that works out takes
care of his body and wants to look good on the weekends when he goes out with his friends, guys,
try a mud mask. So many men just write this off, ah, it’s what, you know, women do. No.
Guys, if you understand what exactly a mud mask does, basically a mud mask right here that we
use from Australia has about 35 minerals in it and when it sits on your skin for 15 minutes,
basically it transfers some of those minerals right into your skin and all of these,
again, are great. You can go to the ingredient deck and check it out.
Point being is it’s also going to firm up the skin if you’re dealing with a bit of acne, it can at
the very end starts to dry it out, it starts to actually just clean up the skin. Mud masks, these
have been used around the world for thousands of years. If you’re not using one, you’ve never tried
it, you owe it to yourself to go check it out. Now, what about the right fragrance for your
age? Are some fragrances only for young men? Do you have to be over
35 to wear the more expensive ones? Guys, find out in this video right here,
which is covering up my face, but seriously, guys, it’s a great video. If you want to understand the
right fragrance for your age, this is the one you want to click on. Go check it out. I’ll also link
to it down in the description. [0:11:56] End of audio
