Getting Ready for Your Wedding
The best looking guy
Anthony VerombeckEditor, GROOMTo be the best looking guy at your wedding, maintain your grooming regime throughout your engagement. Don't wait until the last minute to try to fix something that takes time to change, like your face, teeth, hair, feet or weight. Wedding planning is stressful. Keep your face clean, get or give yourself facials, use daily moisturizer with sunscreen all year round to prevent wrinkles and skin cancer, drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep and concentrate on your overall wellness. If you are starting to go grey and want to get rid of it, it's less noticeable to begin when you first notice it with products that can be used at home, or let your hair stylist know what you want to do. There are brush-in color gels for beards and moustaches. A short haircut is good if you are balding. Clip and file your fingernails and toenails. If you have foot odor, scrub your feet daily and dry them completely. There are insoles you can place in your shoes that will absorb wetness and odor.
