Back-to-School Grooming for Men

Getting everyone in the family scheduled for their back-to-school beauty and barber appointments can be a huge time sink. Between last-minute errands and making the Zoom calls with the new teachers, keeping the schedule on track is hard. Plus, you’ve got to make time to refresh your own look in the spirit of back-to-school grooming.

Professional Back-to-School Tips 

Everyone has varying skincare needs. You might have dry, combination, or oily skin. You may have redness or blemishes, tired eyes, or any other concern. Knowing your options in the skincare aisle makes all the difference.

Skincare and Makeup expert, Nicole Richarson, points us in the right direction when it comes to a great capsule skincare product list. Then to tie it up with a bow, she offers the ideal routine that you can follow or customize based on your own needs.

Nicole’s Skincare Essentials List:

• Cleanser: Tatcha rice cleanser 
• Toner: Vanilla milk toner by Kylie Skin
• Serum: Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
• Moisturizer: Moisture bomb by Belief 

When you’re stocking up on supplies before the fall, consider what you will need. It’s always a good rule of thumb to cleanse, moisturize, and use SPF. 

Back-to-School Makeup for Men

Yes, men wear makeup. From just a light concealer for dark circles to ‘full face,’ makeup for men is becoming more mainstream. And of course, anyone with skin needs skin care. Skin is skin. No matter if you are male, female, or nonbinary, this is how to take care of yourself.

Even your skin tone or cover a blemish with a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Select a color close to your natural complexion and prep for application by cleansing and moisturizing first.

This adds a subtle coverage while it hydrates, smooths, and protects against UVA/B radiation. Then add a light blush to bring out youthfulness and a lip balm to prevent chapping. 

Here’s Nicole’s tip on how to expertly apply foundations or tinted moisturizers:

“Blending [foundation/concealer/tinted moisterizer] will give you nice coverage, it helps to ensure your makeup looks seamless and polished. 

Blend…until it melts into your skin.”

Whatever your comfort level with skincare and makeup, feel empowered to experiment with what is available on the market.
