This is for all you soon-to-be-grooms whose marriage may be a few months away, or you may just have only a couple of weeks to go. Whatever the case be, you need to kick start your grooming routine as soon as possible.
No, do not scoff at the idea of getting into a grooming regime. You need to realise that nowadays, the groom is given as much importance as the bride. After all, it is your special day too. So, we bring you here a few grooming essentials, which will ensure that you look absolutely dashing on your wedding day.
#1. Regular face cleansing
You will be in as much limelight as your bride, so your skin needs to look radiant too. So, this is what we suggest you to do! Next time you stop by at a grocery store, do not forget to buy a face wash for yourself. Wash your face with it twice a day, and you will be really happy with the results. If you have dry skin, then you should also invest in a good moisturiser. On the other hand, those of you with oily skin should get hold of a good astringent to keep your face oil-free. Alternatively, book an appointment at a spa, a week before your wedding, for a facial and exfoliation session. A spa session will relax your nerves and pamper your skin.

#2. Hair care
Smooth and silky hair can really enhance your overall look. So, start taking special care of your hair. Here are a few tips on what you can do:
Go for a hair spa a day before your wedding.
Shampoo and condition your hair every alternate day. Also, do not use hot water for your hair, just go for lukewarm water.
Stay away from gels for a few weeks before your wedding day. Some hair gels contain silicon, which can make your hair look oily and dull. Instead, invest in a high-end hair mousse.
When it comes to the haircut for your special day, your regular barber will just not do. Splurge a little and book an appointment with a good hair stylist. Also, be a little careful about your haircut. Do not do something crazy that you will regret. After all, you do not want to have a bad hair day right before your wedding.
Facial hair is something which you need to be careful about too. So do not forget to trim your nose and ear hair to prepare for your wedding.
