Manscaping: the art of male grooming

Did you know a recent survey revealed 47% of people who have a regular skincare and grooming routine are more successful in life, so where does the average man stand on this face-off? Grooming has always been a fairly important part of my life and personally I think it’s probably one of the most important parts of a modern man’s life in this day and age, although it still does not get the recognition it needs. Long gone are the days where ‘moisturiser’ and ‘mascara’ were the unspoken words amongst men and now it’s hard not to notice male grooming products anywhere you go. Very recently I stumbled upon a number of great male grooming blogs which all offers great advice and reviews on fantastic grooming products for men. One of these is the Pampered Prince, an amazing blogger and a big supporter of British beauty brands offering his readers a glorious and very insightful look at the world of ‘manscaping’. I spoke to him to find out what makes him tick and why he thinks male grooming should play an important role in every man’s life. 

Nip and Tuck: is it the future or just an expensive craze?

Yesterday I read this article about how South Koreans are obsessed with plastic surgery. Apparently South Korea, a country of about 50 million people, has the second largest number of plastic surgery operations in the world. Reading further I discovered the blame (as always) is passed onto the ol’ celebrity wagon for the ‘sudden’ spike in body altering surgeries. Thinking about this I wondered is it just an expensive obsession that will blow over in a few years or is plastic surgery becoming a way of life?
