It's a fact that boys pay very little attention to their grooming. But I keep a close watch on my hair and skincare which are very important even for boys to pay attention to on a daily basis.
I know people judge us on the basis of our looks so I try to follow these simple tips-
I take care of my skin, shave regularly, and bathe daily, twice, or in some cases thrice during summers.
I keep my hands clean and keep my hair right. I know my clothing enhances my personality. My shoes are always according to the occasion. You know they judge a person by his shoes. I use perfume according to the occasion as well and also know the importance of my body posture.
I try doing regular workout outdoors for better benefits, including better sleep duration and reducing the risk of developing pimples etc. If you want to push yourself a little harder, consider joining a running or jogging club or a regular group.
A Public Park
From stairs to hill sprints and running in ground or park, changing up a standard indoor training program by adding a challenging outdoor session results in muscle adaption. In other words, feeling sore in places you didn’t know existed.
But be careful-stay sun safe, I always carry my sunscreen with me. Temperatures can soar during summer, especially in the area where I live, so it’s key to be sun safe when I am outside. Besides keeping my head covered with a cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, and staying regularly hydrated, I always listen to my body's needs.
But if I am still feeling the heat, I prefer sit it out, cool down, and come back when I am ready. I don't want to face the UV rays and so avoid it as much as possible. Exposure to the sun’s rays will increase the chances of getting tanned, and the signs of aging will start appearing so a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF protects my skin from UVA and UVB rays.
What else I take care of and what I suggest to all male-
First Step: Cleansing- First, clean the face with a non-foaming cleanser in the morning. because foaming face wash makes the skin dry. Take a little face wash on your palms and massage for two to three minutes. Wash your face with cold water and dry it with clean towels.
Toning comes next- The toner closes the open pores during the outing. Toning brings tightness to your skin. So do not forget to include it in every cleansing routine. You can also prepare your own toner. Boil basil, neem, and mint leaves in one liter of water until the water is reduced to half. You can store this for 3–4 weeks in a cool place.
The third step is to moisturize- This step is very important for all skin types. It makes your skin soft and provides necessary moisture for your skin. Use gel formula for oily skin, water-based for normal skin, and for rich skin, try a rich moisturizer. Select the right type carefully.
Fourth Step: Protection- Exposure to the sun will increase the chances of getting tanned, and the signs of aging will start appearing sooner than you would expect. Choose a sunscreen that suits your skin type to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.

My definition of a handsome man (you can call me beautiful if you like, though) is that a woman should smile when she looks at you and admire you by lifting her eyebrows. If you are handsome, well-mannered, and presentable, a woman will certainly give you a second glance.
Sorry to say, most males have very little or no idea about the importance of their mannerisms and posture, which are very much part of their beauty. I say, if you wish to look handsome, then improve your mannerisms in order to look attractive. Merely wearing fashionable clothes and the use of perfumes is going to take you nowhere.
So, come on, boys, your posture is as important as your appearance, looks, and mannerism. And not to forget, you need to be witty and humorous to look even more handsome than you actually are. It really says a lot more about you than what you look like.
And don’t think for a moment that you need to be "a show-off type guy" or have flirting gestures to make you more impressive, but looking impressive is what makes you beautifully handsome.
I have tried to improve my posture and mannerisms
How? Exercise, cleanliness, posture, behavior, and your social status! It all counts! Are you thin? Never mind! Are you fat? Get rid of your extra fat and, of course, work up your muscles. Regular exercise will help improve your personality, which is all part of being a handsome guy.

Hey, do you know the secret of body language or gestures? Yes!!! You know a lot, but if your answer is "no," learn a few "secrets of body language." That will certainly help you make yourself seem more beautiful, or should I say handsome.
Do you think only celebrities, like film stars or sportsmen, have that right to look cool? Trust me, they look good because they can afford to look cool, but if you can do that with a little of your effort, why not? Do you know how to dance? Learn the art of dancing that keeps you fit as well as makes you beautiful and sexy too!
I want to look cool
Do you know a man that smiles looks better than a man that keeps his face grim? A smile wins them all, so smile as often as you can. I assure you, you will look more handsome! They say I look handsome when I smile. But it’s true that when you smile, you look like a world champion, a handsome world champion. "A smile can instantly win you a friend," as they say, and I never pass up an opportunity to add to my friend list.
Do I need to tell you how to improve your smile? Just stand in front of a mirror and practice. Hey, don’t forget about your teeth while smiling! If your teeth are not shining and white, your smile will misfire on you!
By the way, I am not giving you tips about flirting with girls but how to look handsome, so make sure you stay as cool-looking as possible so you become popular in society.
Keep your skin youthful. I'm not saying you should undergo cosmetic surgery to change the color of your skin, but you should take care of it to keep it looking youthful and shiny, which is another sign of your beauty, and girls have no copyright on beautiful skin. So, when I say I have lovely and shiny skin, don’t read me wrong.
How to improve your personality to look better than you already are? Simple. Add some attractive people to your list and see what they do to look more attractive. Check all the positive qualities of successful people. Yes, you guessed it right, all the successful people definitely look beautiful.
Do you know that average people with good manners, a splendid physique, and good mannerism look better than handsome looks but bad habits, foul body odor, and bad manners? No one is going to like your negative qualities to justify your beauty, even if you are a champion model but have nothing else in you.
I consider a handsome man with qualities like- A neat haircut that looks good on you. You don't have to be David Beckham or Brad Pitt, but you should have a cool haircut. Shiny eyes, clean teeth, good mannerisms, and clothes that suit your physique and body type. a well-maintained body and nice mannerism.
Do you need good, fashionable, smart clothes because clothes change your personality? Up to a certain extent, but not necessarily! Of course, one cannot change their appearance without plastic or cosmetic surgery, but that is not to say that surgery is the only way to change one's appearance.In my humble opinion, you can always do it with good habits.
Add accessories to your wardrobe. That means apart from fashionable clothes, you will have to have some additional items that will give you a fashionable look. The items might vary from sunglasses, belts, rings, bracelets, watches, shoes, etc.
Some people wear clothes to draw attention, but I don’t find it a good idea unless, of course, you are a celebrity. I prefer sober colors and a wonderful variety of clothes. After all, a man is not a peacock that will look beautiful in multi-colored attire.
A person, man or woman, looks good if they smell good, so if you have body odor, cover it up. The smell definitely leaves a good impression of your personality or triggers intense emotions in onlookers or people in your company.
You should always stay well-groomed, which makes even an ordinary person look beautiful. Get rid of hair not required on your body and you will know what hair is unwanted on your body.
By the way, how we feel about being handsome or attractive is how we feel in our mind, so we can say that this is all about a mental state. If we feel we look handsome, we are handsome without worrying about what others think about us.
But is that as simple? No, we must work hard to have confidence in ourselves in order to appear attractive. This will not come naturally, but we shall have to adopt a systematic way to achieve that confidence. We will have to work out a strategy to make us look better than we actually are.
Exercises: I love that and consider it to be the best trick to transform an ordinary person into an attractive person. And this doesn’t take more than thirty minutes of your time in a day. This will work wonders with your body by improving your skin, burning extra body fat, making you look muscular, and making you more attractive.
And think of the confidence that will come from you having a wonderful physique. But I am not saying you must look for someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Terry Crews, but a fit body that looks attractive.
I suggest you do something that you can do easily and within your capacity. I can walk, jog, run a little, and, of course, swim as and when possible, but at least twice a week. I also go biking once a week, mostly for short stints but for a longer one in the company of my friends.
But if you want to look handsome, you will have to do this. Depending on your natural looks is fine, but you will have to cultivate certain hobbies and habits to look even better. Do you know that people who dislike your appearance may soon seek advice on how to look more appealing? Tempted? Good!
Here are a few tips to the boys-
If you wish to be handsome and classy, exercise.
If you wish to look like a different guy, have pleasant habits.
If you wish to be attractive, dress properly.
If you wish to attract others, always have a smile on your face.
Trust me, you are the best.

Hello @marbrym & @jane1289 this community is specially for you 👍
Hello @Rayt2 thanks for inviting me to participate in this community. I really enjoyed your post and I confess that you made me smile in most of it. Well, now tell us that you take seeing yourself handsome very seriously hahaha. I have a 14-year-old teenage son who is still in the *"it doesn't matter what I look like" phase, but his dad and I are working on it. I differ from you a little bit, and I think that counts because I'm a woman. Normally women are the judges of how handsome a man looks. For me cleanliness is essential, especially of the body. I love the smell of soap or cleanliness. In my city it is very hot and I sweat a lot. That's why when I'm hot and a recently bathed person approaches that for me is super attractive and pleasant, be it a man or a woman and if it is perfumed on the side better. I like the smell of men's perfume better. I tell my son that hygiene is fundamental, bathe frequently several times a day if necessary, use deodorant, brush teeth, have clean and well-groomed hair and nails, a clean face too, clean and matched clothes Another thing to emphasize is the shoes, but in the type I would prefer that they were clean.
I am more in favor of the man who does not dedicate so much time to the care of his skin and appearance, but in his hygiene in general, good taste in clothes, who always tries to have a good haircut, for me that is enough. Of course exercise is vital, especially to be healthy and have energy, but I agree with you that a smile is one of the best accessories a person can have and also good manners. Thanks again for including me 😊.
Thanks for reading and approving most of my points @marbrym lol and I agree with you even if you do not agree with me on any point in my post because I can't understand how women feel, at least not all women lol. I am sure will teach your son the importance of everything that you consider he must, my best wishes.
@Rayt2 and yes, the truth is that I agree with you on many points. Thank you again. I will keep reading you 😎
I never thought there was a community for minimalists. Thanks for tagging.. I would definitely check this.
Btw, looking good there..seems like you are doing pretty good with your lifestyle...
Thanks, yes I am doing okay minus a regular job right now.
