MANSCAPING: BODY GROOMING FOR GENTLEMEN

Since we evolved from scrambling around on all fours and began wearing clothes to keep us warm, much of male body hair has become obsolete. Subsequently, manscaping has risen in popularity, and in order to tame the fuzz, many modern day gentlemen are learning how to manscape.

WHAT IS MANSCAPING?
It is a word we hear a lot, but how many of us actually know what the meaning of manscaping is? If you've ever found yourself wondering "What is manscaping?" or "How to manscape?". Then this article is for you. Manscaping essentially means male body grooming - removing or trimming bodily hair for cosmetic purposes. Most men revolve their manscaping routine around shower time as it is best to manscape when your body is clean of impurities - also warm water softens body hair which makes for easier grooming.

Now that you understand the manscaping meaning, it is important for you to understand the manscaping specifics. We like to divide these into the following regions: chest, back, armpits, arms & legs, above the neck (excluding the beard) and the genital area. Note that each individual males manscaping preferences are unique to him, there is no one-size fits all. Men will manscape differently depending on things such as: lifestyle, personal (or partner) preference and in general, just how furry they are.

HOW TO MANSCAPE

TRIMMING CHEST HAIR
How to trim chest hair? When it comes to manscaping chest hair, surveys show that a little hair is actually preferable to none (just a little!), so we suggest between 1 or 2 centimetres for the best results. Keep in mind that according to the survey the optimal amount is "Just enough to run your fingers through." In order to embark on the chest grooming journey correctly, the manscaping tool we recommend is your trusty trimmers. Once you've cut your chest hair down to a consistent density all over, moisturise your freshly trimmed chest with the fast absorbing NIVEA Soft to prevent any redness, irritation, or itchiness.

A BARE CHEST
For those who prefer a totally smooth hairless finish, the razor is the only way to go. Lather yourself up with the NIVEA Body Shaving Gel, carefully designed to prevent irritation from shaving, then go over with a blade. Make sure to always shave with the grain and those with thicker hair should be careful not to assume the grain is always growing in the same direction all over your chest. For a more comfortable shave, take a shower beforehand to soften up the hairs. To finish up, add a layer of NIVEA MEN Post Shave Balm to fight any signs of irritation and soothe your skin. Now you've manscaped your chest!

YOUR GENITAL AREA
Now, we can't do a piece on manscaping and not mention your man-parts. That's right, It's time to shave your genitals. This can get risky so it's important you stay calm and in control: You do NOT want any nicks or cuts down there. If done correctly, one can transform a shrouded shabby bushel to a strong majestic bonsai tree.

It's all in the technique. After lathering, get a good grip on any skin that needs to be pulled back to allow for the closest shave possible and rinse regularly to prevent the blades from getting blocked. We suggest getting a leg up on a stool or side of your bath for those hard to reach areas and a mat on the floor to clean up the aftermath of your manscaping routine. Some recommend shaving in the shower for an easy clean-up and the added bonus of the hot water making your hair softer and easier to deal with. When you're done, don't forget to reward your newly bald genitalia with a soothing cream to prevent/treat razor burn.

Some men like to dive even deeper when intimate shaving to right under and around. This can be done in a similar way, however is much harder to reach and the risk of nicks is higher - so proceed with extreme caution if venturing that deep, you definitely want to avoid razor burn down there.

BACK HAIR
Unfortunately surveys show that out of all types of male body hair, back hair is the least popular, so it's time to learn how to manscape it. Even more unfortunately, there is no easy way to DIY manscape your back - so for best results you will need assistance from either a very loving partner, generous friend or to visit a salon. If you want to try manscaping your back on your own though the best tool will be your trimmer, set to its lowest setting. This will achieve the most even result, although may not prevent you from having to contort into funny positions in front of the mirror. To achieve a thoroughly smooth and even back though, have someone shave or wax it for you.

ARMPITS
Manscaping the pits is maybe slightly off the beaten track compared with the chest and back. Reasons men cite for shaving their armpits are usually either:

- To help reduce foul smells of body odour
- Lower chance of visible sweat patches
- Preferable look (long armpit hairs poking out of a t-shirt tend not to be favourable)

The trend generally for manscaping armpits is to trim the hairs to a short length, rather than to cleanly shave. These are our steps for how to manscape your armpits:

1) Prepare the skin: preferably by taking a shower as this will soften up the hair to make for a smoother shave. Also take time to cleanse and exfoliate to remove any dead skin or dirt

2) Trim the hair: don't go straight for the razor as long body hair can be difficult for it to cut through. Use a trimmer to take the hair down to a more manageable length. You might be happy leaving it at that, but if you would like a closer shave continue with the next steps

3) Apply shaving gel: lather up under both pits to moisturise the hair and lubricate the area. The armpits are super-sensitive so look to use a gel that is kind to your skin such as NIVEA MEN Sensitive Shaving Gel.

4) Away with the hair: ensure that the skin under your arm is pulled as taut as possible, then begin to remove the rest of the hair. Make sure to glide the razor with the grain (in the same direction the hair grows) to prevent from shaving related irritation

5) Finish off: once you have removed the last of the hair, be sure to rinse away any excess foam, then either pat your armpits dry or leave them to dry naturally. Once they have dried off apply NIVEA MEN Sensitive Cool Post Shave Balm for long lasting hydration and instant relief from any irritation that shaving may have caused.

ARMS & LEGS
Generally more common in sports and fitness worlds whereby excess body hair can negatively impact performance, or to show off hard earned muscle definition from the gym. Even if you're not hugely into your fitness, it still doesn't hurt to know how to manscape your arms and legs in order to tidy them up once in a while. 

Most men who decide to go manscaping on their limbs generally use a trimmer just to tidy up to a shorter length, after-all taming exceptional fuzz can help to smell better, relieve heat and help prevent sun damage (as thicker hair holds onto sweat which magnifies sun's rays and also makes applying sunscreen harder). If you wanted to go fully bare on the arms and legs however, manscape in the same way you would your chest. The skin on your arms and legs is tougher than that on your chest though, so you can go against the grain for a closer shave with less risk of irritating the skin. Remember after every shave to moisturise as shaving dehydrates the skin.

Like all skin care products, Nivea Men Body Shaving Anti-Irritation After Shave Lotion can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

• Do not use it, if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, our Rightdose pharmacists or nurse.

Before using any skin care products, it is important to read the information and follow the instructions on the package.

Shaving for men: perfect shave care for the skin

Every man knows there can be problems with even the best shaving routine. As nice as a clean-shaven face is, daily shaving quickly becomes an ordeal for the skin. To protect the skin against irritation and shaving rash, it is important to extend the actual shaving process with a few nourishing steps.

Here are our top shaving tips:

Step 1: Start the day in a relaxed manner by allowing yourself plenty of time for shaving. Hurrying and stressing will quickly result in painful cuts.

Step 2: Start by thoroughly cleansing the face. This gets rid of germs that might otherwise get into the pores of the skin. Shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving cream also adhere much better to oil-free skin.

Step 3 – and only now do we get to the actual shaving part: Men who want to hit the ground running in the morning will love shaving gels that have a cooling effect. For sensitive skin, men should make sure to choose products with fragrance-neutral and non-alcoholic formulas. Give your shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving cream at least two minutes to soften your stubble. Hair is the hardest on the upper lip and chin – it is best to shave here last when the hair has had time to soften thoroughly. Now rinse off the stubble and foam residues with cold water. This refreshes the skin and causes the pores to contract again.

Step 4: After shaving and care go hand in hand. To prevent skin irritation and spots, you should always treat your skin after shaving with an aftershave, shaving soap or a face cream. Products containing alcohol disinfect and prevent irritation, while cooling formulas provide an additional burst of freshness. Men with sensitive or dry skin should choose a mild, alcohol-free after-shave that moisturises and assists with skin regeneration. A balm that soothes irritated areas of the skin and at the same time gives the skin new energy offers double care.

For all shave types

For some, a wet shave isn't for them. Many men prefer a dry shave, though it's still important to soothe and disinfect the skin after shaving with a moisturising after-shave product. And those who decide against shaving entirely and choose the current bearded trend should not, of course, omit facial care. The skin under your beard can easily become dry and flaky. You should therefore use a light facial gel that is easy to apply in spite of beard hair.

When shaving the body, basically the same principles apply as for the face: to remove hair gently, it always should first be soaked with shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving cream. Subsequently, the freshly shaved and thus extremely sensitive areas should be treated with a mild, alcohol-free aftershave balm.

For external use only.

Directions:

• Shave using gentle strokes.
• Immediately after shaving apply liberally on your shaven skin.

Nivea non-greasy formula means this is the aftershave lotion men can rely on - the shaving lotion absorbs quickly into the skin for instant protection.
