How to Makeover Your Perth Man…

by Sonia Archer on February 13, 2010

58090905Is Your man in desperate need of a makeover?

Whether they’re wearing suits that are a size or two too large, they have a really bad haircut or they wear socks with sandals (nooooo!), you can see the hipness just under the surface.

So how to make over your guy?

If he’s the sensitive sort, I believe in the subtle approach: buy him a great pair of jeans or a bag full of men’s grooming products or suggest he try out your stylist at your salon instead of his regular barber. Point out hairstyles you like on famous guys and tell him, “Oh you would look hot in that haircut!”

As women do, men also respond to flattery, so let me tell what to do…

This also works with jeans, “Honey, your butt would look great in these,” and getting them to wear a smaller size suit, “You have a great body but it’s lost in your suit.”

Here are some of my favorite tips I’ve learned over the years..

I love a few from GQ’s 25 style rules to live by:

  • According to GQ, 3-button suits are out, and 2-buttons are in.
  • Short sleeve dress suits with a tie are an absolute no-no.
  • Thin ties are more modern than fat ties.
  • Many guys wear their suits a size or two too large. Find out if yours is.
  • If your guy suffers from nicks and cuts when shaving, GQ suggests you encourage him to shave in the shower. The water and steam will soften his face. Once he’s finished shaving, he should skip the cheapie  aftershaves which are full of alcohol and fragrances and try a balm. 
  •  Men can be super self-conscious about hair loss. If your guy is sporting a bologna patch (the round, bald spot at the back of the head), or is making sad attempts at comb-overs, he’s got some options. Some men find success in hair plugs (think Jude Law & Matthew McConaughey!), but I prefer a simple, number one or shaved head, which is super sexy.
  • Personally, I’m not a fan of men shaving or waxing their chest hair, I have no problem with a hairy chest but I do have a problem with a sandpaper chest. If your dude hates his man fluff or wants to tame it for the beach, suggest he trim it with a hair trimmer.

Best Facial Scrubs, Valentines Day & More?

by Sonia Archer on February 13, 2010

jessica albaValentine’s Day is around the corner, have you exfoliated yet?

Flaky, dead skin is a turn-off and since you will likely be nose-to-nose with someone very soon, perhaps you should try one of my favorite facial scrubs?  Also, don’t miss Jessica Alba’s new ‘do, which she showed off yesterday at the “Valentine’s Day” premiere. I love it, do you? Lastly, get your guy to makeover his dated look. Find out how….

There’s no better feeling than freshly scrubbed and moisturized skin.

An important part of your weekly skin routine is exfoliation and you can use facial scrubs, microdermabrasion kits or peels. Peels work to brighten skin by removing dead skin cells with lactic (milk) or citric (juice) acids. Scrubs work to manually remove dead skin. I like to use both, switching between the two every few weeks. Always make sure to follow with moisturizer after exfoliation.

Check out my two favourite facial scrubs…
