- Never Let Them See Your Hair Sweat: Use anti-humectant hair styling products (see American Crew) that will deflect sweat, won’t leave your hair looking greasy and will maintain your style despite the humidity.
-
Fry-Day: Even if you’re not at the beach, use products with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor). Protecting your skin from harmful rays is key for any guy who wants to avoid looking like a prune later in life.
-
Talc Show: There are certain special areas where men tend to sweat a lot. To keep these locations safe and dry, try a quality talcum powder to absorb moisture.
-
Hey You… Get Back Hair!: Those tufts of hair on your shoulders and back… nah… not appealing to anyone. Visit a reputable skin care professional and get them waxed off (it’s not even that painful) so the rest of us can digest our food.
-
Tanks Very Much: No self-respecting gentleman should be caught in a tank top with a bar logo on it, jean shorts or socks with sandals.
-
Flop With Pride: In an effort to sport your flip-flops with dignity, get a professional pedicure, or at a minimum, trim and scrub those toenails at home.
-
Have Another Drink: Of water that is… It’ll keep you hydrated and is a key component to healthy looking skin.
-
Back-ne: A zit on your back is no more attractive than one on your chin. To ward off the dreaded summer beach back-ne, make sure to hit your flip side with some soap each and every shower. A back brush, buffing cloth or a “special helper” can make this even easier.
