Men’s grooming has had its origins from the begging
of evolution. The more the dominant male stood out from his competition, the
greater his chance of getting ahead in life while attracting a mate in the
process. It is for this reason why men will always have a predisposition
towards their personal grooming habits in a very competitive society.
Taking care of ones features can enhance the
external appearance of beauty. This became known as the basic requirements for
a deep inner feeling of pure happiness and longevity. Like a prize-winning car,
most men prefer to take care of the windshield and make certain it is running
in tiptop shape. The shield should always be clear and spotless; this became
the same rule with your skin.
In 10,000 BC, men were using scented oils and
ointments to get rid of dirt and oil so the skin would be clean and soft. The
fatty oils of olive and sesame were combined with fragrant plants to create
Neolithic ointments for the use of daily men’s skin care. Egyptians used oils
and creams for protection against the hot Egyptian sun and dry lands. Thyme,
lavender, peppermint, rosemary, was just some of the ingredients used in men’s
creams for hygiene and health purposes.
The marketplace swelled up as products for
men became even more in demand. Everyone was enthusiastically enjoying the fun
and freedom to express themselves through good grooming habits. Popular
treatments included, rosemary water for the hair, scalp, and sage to whiten
teeth. Elderflower ointment for the skin and bathing in wine became a regular
practice in society. Unknowingly, men in the early century had an obsession
with having a beautiful psychical appearance.
In today’s society, the same rituals are done every
moment to be one step ahead of the modern competition. As a young lad focusing
on the right grooming habits can be so confusing. You practically see so much
information you feel as if your head is about to explode.
Don’t worry, here are the top 5 grooming
habits every modern gent should be on top of.
