New Year Grooming Resolutions with Lee Kynaston
End 2019 looking better than you started it with Grooming Guru Lee Kynaston’s easy-to-keep resolutions.
Want to improve your appearance in 2019 but worried your grooming resolutions will go the same way as the Christmas tree and festive leftovers? No worries, here are five bulletproof resolutions any man can stick to. I can’t promise you’ll end the year looking like Beckham, Craig or Jonas (those faces are already taken after all) but follow them and I guarantee you’ll end up looking like a better version of you.
2. Opt for instant results.
One of the most important steps you can take to improve your looks in 2019 (and beyond) is to protect skin from the daily effects of the sun’s ageing UV rays by using a moisturiser featuring a sunscreen. But that’s future proofing; a sound insurance policy against fine line and wrinkles further down the line.
If you’re to stick to your resolutions right now you’ll also need something that delivers instant – and noticeable – results because studies have shown we’re more likely to maintain lifestyle changes if they deliver immediate rewards.
Cleverly, Lab Series BB Tinted Moisturizer SPF35 addresses both your skin’s instant and long term needs, not only protecting it from premature ageing, thanks to its broad spectrum sunscreen, but also instantly improving its appearance by refining pores and evening out skin tone.
One of my favourite all-in-one products, it’s also great for all that travel you’ve promised yourself you’ll do in 2019.
3. Make multifunction your mantra.
One of the main reasons men can’t be bothered with skincare is that they think it takes up too much time – a legitimate concern when you’ve overslept and have just six-and-a-half minutes to make yourself presentable. But instead of ruling skincare out, rule ‘smart skincare’ in for 2019.
That means opting for multifunctional products that save time, money and time in front of a mirror. Lab Series’ PRO LS All-In-One Face treatment, for example, can be used as a skin-soothing balm as well as a moisturiser; the Oil Control Clay Cleanser + Mask is a face wash that doubles up as a clay mask; while The Grooming Oil is ideal for anyone with facial hair because it can be used as a shave oil, an extra cushion under your regular shave cream and as a beard/stubble conditioner too.
4. Add an eye cream to you routine.
No man wants to be so high-maintenance he needs a spare room to house all his grooming gear. Having said that, if a face wash, scrub and moisturiser are the extent of your routine you’re doing your face a real disservice. The skin around your eyes, for example, is much thinner and more delicate than the stuff on the rest of your face and needs a specialist, lightweight product like the Power V Instant Eye Lift. It’s a small addition to your grooming routine but one that’ll make a big difference.
5. Cheat your way to better looks.
Looking for the ultimate shortcut to better looking skin? Then Lab Series Instant Filter Moisturizer is your man. Using special ‘blurring’ technology and blue optical particles it smooths the skin’s overall appearance, instantly corrects redness and rebalances skin tone, acting a bit like a real-time digital filter for your face. The only thing it can’t do is add flowers, fairy ears or dog whiskers but that’s very much in its favour, right?
P.S. According to research January 12th is the day the people are most likely to give up on their New Year resolutions. Make a note of this date in your dairy or phone along with a reminder of the most important resolution of all – to stick to your resolutions! Here’s wishing you a great (and better looking) 2019!
