Quick and Honest Guide to Glow Up for Guys (No BS)

Quick and Honest Guide to Glow Up for Guys (No BS)

Hey there! 

So, I've been on this journey for the past six months, and I wanted to share what I did to level up. 

Let's dive in!


Step Zero: Mindset

I followed the steps in this personal journey for six months, and it's wild how my friends and family didn't even recognize me when I popped up in public. 

Back in July 2020, I went MIA, ditching social media and cutting ties with toxic people. 

It wasn't easy, but I kept telling myself it's never too late for change.

Step One: Skincare Routine

You know, taking care of your skin is a game-changer. People always look at your face first, right? 

So, in the morning, I kept it simple – a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. 

Evening routine? 

Same, but swapped sunscreen for retinol, which is like magic for clear skin.

Step Two: Good Hygiene

Consistent showers, paired with your go-to deodorant and cologne, contribute significantly to a positive aroma, boosting your confidence. 

The impact is real – never underestimate the attention it draws from others.

Step Three: Hair

Finding the right haircut for your face shape is key. 

I kept my hair routine easy – regular trims, minimal washing, daily conditioning, and a bit of styling with hair products.

Step Four: Facial Hair

If you can grow a beard, do it. It adds this masculine touch. Just trim it weekly to keep it fresh. 

No beard? 

Shave daily with a clipper, not a razor – it's gentler on the skin.

Step Five: Teeth

Twice-daily brushing and flossing are non-negotiable. Toss in a tongue scraper for good measure. 

Oh, and if your lips get dry, go for a fluoride-free toothpaste – it's healthier.

Step Six: Lips

Chapped lips? 

Say goodbye to chapped lips with this quick fix: whip up a simple scrub by combining honey and sugar, then follow up with your regular skin moisturizer or a touch of Vaseline for that extra hydration.

Step Seven: Clean Eyebrows

Elevate your look with well-groomed eyebrows. 

Spend a minute trimming them for an instant boost in attractiveness.

Step Eight: Workout

Building muscle was my focus. 

If you're unsure, consider a personal trainer or try the free program I put together for beginners. 

No more excuses!

Step Nine: Clothing

Updating your wardrobe matters. 

Wear what makes you feel good. 

Stick to neutral colors like black, white, navy, blue, and brown.

Mental Aspect of Glow-Up

Now, let's talk mental health. Meditation, gratitude journaling, and good sleep – these things changed my life.

- Gratitude Journaling: Write down what you're thankful for every day.

- Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours each night for better mood and fewer dark circles.

- Work Out: Exercise not only makes you attractive but also happier.

- Read Books: Swap your phone for a good book. I recommend 'The Almanac of Novel Ravic' for a positive mindset.
