What Do People Wear at Oxford and Cambridge University?

Posted on by Steve

In Great Britain, there are two old and reputable universities-  Oxford and Cambridge University, or collectively termed as Oxbridge. Bear in mind, that a lot of well-known individuals have studied in these universities and some of them include the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Sacha Cohen Baron and Stephen Hawking- plus some of the great politicians of Great Britain and the US. Indeed, these two universities have been educating since the 12 and 13 century up to the present day, and that why it is only right that people who study here should wear proper clothes to carry on ancient traditions.

Real Men Moisturise

Posted on by Steve

For years the ladies have been paying special attention to the condition of their skin with creams and lotions that keep that healthy glow radiating year round. Men have more recently begun to realise that taking care of their skin involves more than soap, shaving cream, and a little dab of aftershave. As a man, your skin is much oiler, sweatier, and a great deal thicker than that of your female friends; even though you may think that it’s resilient, your skin may be in need of some advantageous moisturising to keep your healthy appearance.

There are several easy ways for men to start taking better care of their skin. Using a gentle cleanser morning and night will help wash away dirt, oil, and sweat that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Follow cleansing with an oil-free moisturizer suited for your skin type to hydrate and nourish the skin. Look for moisturizers with SPF protection to prevent sun damage that can lead to premature aging.

Exfoliating once or twice a week can slough off dead skin cells and reveal newer, brighter skin underneath. Use a scrub with rounded exfoliants or a cleanser with alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic or lactic acid. Be gentle when exfoliating to avoid irritation. Also consider going for a regular facial in some salon or spas (the likes of which can include this facial near me in San Antonio, TX as a suggestion) to maintain a healthy, youthful appearance.

Pay attention to the shave routine as well. Always shave with a sharp, clean razor and shaving cream or gel to protect the skin. Avoid repetitive strokes over the same area to minimize irritation. Finish by rinsing with cool water and applying an aftershave balm that contains soothing ingredients like aloe.

Chest Hair: Good or Bad?

Posted on by Steve

When it comes to chest hair, there are many things that will weigh  in while making your decision. There are many reasons for which you should go natural and just as many for which you should shave it, but when it comes to the ladies- one thing is certain. Women like a hairy chest, while girls like them shaved, just as they see them in the movies and magazines.

Honestly, I believe that media is the only reason that made men start shaving their hair. All those billboards and photoshopped images with ripped guys who have the skin of a 10 year old are starting to affect our manhood. My father never had this question in his head and neither did my grandfather. But men these days would do anything to impress a women, except the one thing that really matters- be real men. In the following paragraphs we will debunk the most popular reasons why  men are shaving their chests- good or bad!

“It’s irritating when sweaty”

No it’s not! And even if it is, you’re a man and you should deal with a little irritation. My father was a coal miner all his life and he never complained about an itchy chest once, even though he worked in extreme heat, coal dust and moisture.

“It brings out my muscles”

You know what also brings out your muscles? Workout! Unless you are a bodybuilder who gets ready for a competition, you don’t need to shave every single patch of hair off your body. Women will notice your muscles even if you have hair on your chest by your definition.

“Girls will think it’s gross”

That’s right, girls think it’s gross, but women don’t. Unless you’re a “bro” who wants to date college girls who are fans of Twilight and Tailor Swift, your dating game won’t be affected by the amount of hair on your chest, because real women don’t really care about it. More than that, some of them love to run their fingers through it. Sometimes they pull it just to mess with you, but you can live with that.

“It’s not hygienic”

If we were to believe this excuse some men throw about for shaving their chest, we should all be bald. Your chest hair will affect your personal hygiene when you don’t shower, and the solution is simple: take a shower every now and then fella!

“A shaved body will improve my sportive performances”

Yes, that’s true. Shaved skin is more aero and hydrodynamic and it can improve your speed during competitions. But if you are not Usain Bold or Michael Phelps, that 0.00001 second delay because of your hair won’t really weigh in on your performance.

So here you have it, the most popular excuses for which men are shaving their chest and the reasons for which they are totally made up. However, I don’t condemn anyone who shaves his chest. It’s a free country and every men can do whatever he wants with his body. So if you like shaving your chest, just be confident about it, don’t come up with ridiculous excuses!
