10 Beauty Tips and Secrets for Men

When I was younger and getting ready for a night out on the town, it would take half an hour at the most to transform myself from Mr slob to Mr super cool dude and all it took was a quick shower and shave, a dash of aftershave and a spray of deoderant before getting dressed and then taking the comb through my hair with a bit of bryl cream.

Getting that half hour to use the bathroom was the most difficult part of my simple beauty regime because my sister would be in there for at least three hours getting ready for her night out on the town, shaving, plucking, applying her war paint(cosmetics) and whatever else women do when preening themselves. of course after the bathroom she would spend another hour or two in her bedroom, choosing her clothes and the accessories to match them.

Women took alot more pride in their appearence than men in those days.
