What do you do for Grooming?

    I must say, I am not the tidiest looking person. I keep myself clean etc, but never have that polished look, like some people do. The only thing I do on a regular basis is pluck my eye brows.
    Just wondering what people like to do for that super-groomed look?

    I have been meaning to shave my legs and paint my toe nails forever (I do paint toe nails, but a few hours after applying nail varnish, it usually chips).

    Pluck my eyebrows
    Wax my upper lip
    Shave my legs and bikini line (too chicken to wax there) :o
    Paint my toenails
    Deep cleanse my face at night
    Moisturise regularly
    Once a month or so I use an exfoliating mask called Love Lettuce from Lush, leaves my skin really soft :)
    And then of course the obvious stuff like brush my teeth and put on deoderant, makeup, perfume etc...

    Pluck eyebrows when they need to be plucked.
    Shave legs when I start to resemble a yetti.
    Shave pits when I'm wearing a sleeveless top.
    Wax bikini line if I fancy a swim/expect some action.
    Moisturise daily.
    Cleanse daily.
    Tone daily.
    Exfoliate twice a week.
    Minimal makeup during the day, bit more dramatic at night (red lips, flicky eyeliner)
    No hair products. EVER.
    White musk oil.

    Paint my nails once a week, use Simple clensing wipes every day, have a bath most days - that is it.

    Once my hair looks nice I feel well-groomed enough. it doesn't matter how much nail varnish or whatever I have on, if I'm having a bad hair day I never feel like I look well.

    Every day, cleanse, tone, moisturise, smooth on a bit more st. tropez mousse every couple of days (nothing dramatic just a slight tone darker), use Clarins Natural Nail Polish perfector on my fingernails (Quite Clear), Toe Nail polish, shave legs etc, Face scrub once a week. Trying to body brush daily before shower!
    Won't leave the house without small amount of foundation and mascara etc.


    Just Coz is dead right - grooming is all in the hair (my hair is a frizz nightmare)....If you have the hair, everything else hardly matters! :)

    Man! Being a woman sounds hard!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭dellas1979


    Sure is hard to be a woman. God, some of those routines are rigirous!

    I have decided to grow my finger nails. Used to have nice nails. Yeah, actually probably if youve nice hair and nice nails you look more groomed.

    What toe nail polish do ye use? Is there any good anti-chip ones?

    See to me, grooming is about smelling nice. As long as I smell nice, I feel grand. But maybe will add a bit more to my routine.

    Shower every day, teeth twice, wax as opposed to gel in the hair (I've 3 inch long messy hair), and I use a beard trimmer to keep my beard looking like I missed a day's shaving. And that's about it. It's great to be a guy!

    Other than the willy-shaver and Ned78, I presume you're all women?

    Mine is simple:
    Get up, brush teeth, wash hands and face, get dressed, leave.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
