Witch Hazel: A natural Astringent. This means that it closes your pores and prevents oil and dirt from entering them, preventing further pimples in the process. DerekGuy
Face Care Moisturising Lotion: Use a moisturising lotion such as 'Nivea For Men' after shaving to give a clean feeling for yourself and is soft to the touch of your partner. Lotions with UVA/UVB filters (similar to sunscreen) have added benefit in preventing the sun drying out your skin. SilverSparrow
Skin Products
Treating spots generally: There are plenty of products available on the market that aim specifically to treat acne and generally reduce the number of spots that a person has. There is no one product that is absolutely perfect for everyone, so shop around a little to find one that works well for you. Washing with just ordinary soap and water is not advisable, as ordinary soap contains a lot of chemicals that will dry your skin out. It is possible to find soap without these extra ingredients and, although it is often more expensive, will often work much better than normal soap and combating spots. Crazy Jamie

Use the right amount of hair gel: In the guidelines for hair gel it often states that you should only use an amount of hair gel about the size of a pea everytime that you use it. Make sure you follow this guideline. If you use too much hair gel then your hair will become slick and will actually look extremely greasy. This is not a desirable look, and will not help your image. Using the proper amount of hair gel can allow you to style your hair whilst keeping it looking natural. Derekguy
You hair does not have to be perfect: When styling your hair feel free to experiment with different styles and looks to find one that you like- but remember that it does not have to look perfect. People will not inspect your hair closely, and those few hairs that aren't doing what you want them to do will not be noticed by other people. In fact hair that is in a perfect pattern can often look a little strange, whereas hair that is a little messy tends to have more personality and is more stylish. Do not be afraid to experiment and mess around with your hair- and don't worry too much if the results aren't perfect. It usually won't matter. Crazy Jamie
