Grooming for Guys
1. Moisturize it:
Be meticulous about washing your face two weeks prior to prom, and always finish with a layer of moisturizer (Oily? Opt for oil-free.). Don't shy away from a touch of concealer. If you have a blatant blemish, just add a dab to mask the redness.
2. Shave it:
Save that stubble for your lazy post-prom Sunday. Soft, smooth skin will Think of it this way: would you expect your date to shave her legs?
Exactly. Polish off that freshly-shaved face with a nice aftershave.
3. Comb it:
