Down to Basics

WHAT IS MANSCAPING?!

Listen, I get it. It's uncomfortable to talk about but men's grooming means grooming from head to toe and everywhere in between. Yes, everywhere. Enter Manscaped, the leaders in below the belt grooming and hygiene. In our new world of seeking authenticity and embracing our unique bodies we're seeing a lot more men embrace body hair. Long gone are the days of the waxed, Ken Doll, torsos and nether regions; however, a little grooming "down there" can go a long way. This is no longer a barbaric ordeal, the process of private manicuring has become more dignified recently. Let's find out how with our new friends at Manscaped.

What do i need to do and how do i need to do it?

Let's start with the basics, just like your face you'll want to loosen up your pores before doing any shaving or trimming. It helps create a smoother, easier, nick free finish- you'll thank me for it. Now, you'll want to cleanse, enter the Crop Cleanser from Manscaped. It's a moisturizing hair and body wash that was designed specifically for high activity and total body cleansing. It's Infused with natural hydrators to leave your skin clean, fresh, moisturized and reinvigorated, it’s perfect for post trimming, as well as during everyday showering.

What's so special about it?

  • Features Active pH Control™
  • Carefully balanced formula that both cleanses and hydrates
  • Regulates skin’s natural sebum activity
  • Unique formulation complements and prepares skin for all Manscaping activity, including trimming and refining

 

One of my favorite things about Manscaped is that your purchase includes a Magic Mat for you to trim over, no mess! Disguised as a newspaper, you can lay this on the ground before you begin. How you trim, how much you trim, and where you trim is your own personal preference just make sure to keep your skin taught and work smoothly and slowly. The rest is easy! I've found that doing this in front of a mirror is also super helpful.

What's next?

If you're anything like me, being an active person means getting a little steamy down under. Manscaped's Crop Preserver is a residue free, anti-chaffing moisturizer. It's a liquid powder that leaves you with a velvety smooth finish while also absorbing sweat. It's GENIUS! Finally an all-in-one deodorant and moisturizer designed specifically for ‘below deck’ and highly active areas. This residue- and oil-free, anti-chafing liquid talcum gel features ingredients that preserve the skin’s essential barrier, promote antibacterial protection, and maintain all-day freshness. 

The Big finale

So now you're done. You're fresh, clean, groomed, and feeling good. I like to keep the Crop Reviver in my backpack in case I need any last minute "freshening up". It's a spray-on body toner that has been designed especially for highly sensitive and high friction areas of the body. It features aloe and witch hazel extracts for anti-inflammatory, anti-burn protection, and optimum pH levels for dryness and hydration control. Magic.

For the more advanced intimate groomer, Manscaped does also carry their own trimmer, razor, and other self-maintenance tools. Their handsome travel bag is able to hold all your products and tools whenever you're on the go but also convenient storage while at home. It seems Manscaped has really thought of everything and I (and my boyfriend) thank them for the extra pep in my step.
