Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum grooming routine every man should follow?
Three products: a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer with SPF for daytime, and a plain moisturizer for night. That's it. The whole routine takes ninety seconds and will do more for how your skin looks than any $200 serum. Add exfoliation twice a week once you've been consistent for a month.
How do I know my skin type?
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, wait an hour, then check. Tight and flaky = dry. Shiny all over by mid-afternoon = oily. Shiny T-zone but dry cheeks = combination. Easily irritated or reactive = sensitive. Most men are combination and don't realize it.
Is looksmaxxing actually worth doing?
Softmaxxing — skincare, sleep, fitness, style, haircut — is just basic adult self-care with a trendy label, and yes it's worth doing. Hardmaxxing — surgery, bone-smashing, anything irreversible — is cope dressed up as self-optimization. Stick to the first one.
How much should a man realistically spend on grooming?
A full working routine (cleanser, SPF, moisturizer, shampoo, razor, deodorant) can cost £40-60 total if you shop at the drugstore. You do not need the £180 serum. Most of the value is in consistency, not product cost. Save your money for a good haircut — that does more work than anything else.
