Tracy writes, “My husband of 6 years is the most
wonderful husband but now that he has aged and ignored
the appearance of his youth days, he no longer looks attractive to me. I don’t think that he will
go to the spa or have a
makeover or even
consider plastic
surgery. However, I think he could use some professional help. How do I make it all happen?”

It is not always easy to make these men take better care of themselves because their idea of being a man is to be rough and tough. However, you can try small things one at a time and hopefully you will succeed at some of them. These simple treatments will not
convert your guy into a metrosexual, but he will look and feel better and love you for you good advice.
Trip to the spa: If you try to turn him into a
spa
addict, it will take time. So to start off give him a
gift certificate for a facial along with a hair cut. It will easy to convince him to have just one treatment. Tell him that his
blackheads do not look good on him. The esthetician will also recommend products and advise him to get at least the
moisturizer and the
exfoliant. That way he can start his own
personal care routine.
Personal care: Tell him to exfoliate at least once a week now that he has his
skincare
kit. And if he is reluctant or lazy, make sure that you prepare everything for him and then help him do it. Hopefully, once he sees the difference in his skin, he will appreciate the importance and acquire the habit. If he works under the sun or he has a long drive, advise him to use
sunblock to protect his skin. This will make him look younger longer.
Neutrogena Sheer Dry Sun Block 30 or 45 SPF is one of our favorites because it is very light. Alternatively, he can use a
moisturizer with sun
block. (Related

 Manicures and pedicures: Give him a manicure yourself and this can be a great
couple
activity. If has never gone to a salon before for this, he will feel uncomfortable. However, once you two do this at home as a couple activity, he may like it. That is a great way to give him a taste of what it is like to
keep your hand and feet nails nice and
clean. If that does not work for you, just bring him with you to a salon. Most salons now have separate areas for men.

Eyebrow care: Eyebrow shaping is not only for women or metrosexuals any more. Men can also benefit from this simple beauty procedure. Have you not seen enough men with horrible eyebrows so bushy that you wonder why they do not do something about it? Well, Damone Roberts, Hollywood eyebrow expert and now a TV star, recommends that that men too trim their eyebrows. First, comb them with a small comb (like the ones used in mascara) and then simply
trim the excess
hair. Alternatively, they can ask their hairdresser to do it for them.
