Photo by Jennifer Ryan Jones Have a look in the mirror. Are you channeling the Crypt Keeper or some other hairy beast? If so, don't be afraid. We've matched a few un-groomed ghouls and creepy creatures to your most horrifying grooming mistakes. Check out these antidotes that smell better than garlic and work faster than a silver bullet. Then treat yourself to these hero solutions to have the most handsome Halloween ever.
It's true, excess body hair will keep you warmer in the winter. But if you plan on being spotted in places other than the wild, you’ll want to trim some of that fur. Yes, you can DIY. The BaKblade 2.0 Body Shaver has a longer ergonomic handle that allows you to get to those hard to reach places even if you live alone the woods. You can take down the rest of your coat with the Mangroomer Ultimate Pro Body Groomer and Trimmer. It’s newly upgraded to easily maneuver around the most terrifying to trim body parts.
Are you burning the candle at both ends? You may be up all night roaming the world with the rest of the undead, but that doesn’t mean you have to look like a corpse. Grooming products that contain energizing ingredients like caffeine will get your blood pumping when the sun comes up. Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer can be your secret weapon. Swipe it on to shrink under-eye bags and improve the appearance of dark circles.
Shaving bumps, acne, and blackheads can be pretty damn scary. The trick to getting a healthy complexion is treating your skin to an exfoliating mask. Shed your lizard-like exterior and get rid of dead skin by using a pore-clearing mask like Ursa Major Bright & Easy 3-Minute Flash Mask. Using it will bring your face back to life revealing firmer, brighter and more elastic skin.
Mornings are so much worse when your face is a bloody mess. If your current shaving situation leaves you looking like something straight out of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it's time to make some changes. Prep your tender skin with a quality pre-shave routine and always have a fresh blade. And remember, you’re not being chased by a demon. Slow down, ease up on the pressure and let the razor do the work.
Are you an animal in need of declawing? Trust us, that sexy cat woman you’ve set your sights on has no interest in your jagged, sharp nails. It’s time to take a nail clipper to those paws and your hooves too. We like this man-sized model from Zwilling/J.A. Henckels because it’s easy to hold onto with an ultra-sharp edge and will help you manage these horrifying grooming mistakes all year long.
