We gathered the collective wisdom of gq’s team to come up with eight techniques – all of which you can adopt immediately.
1 SPF EVERYDAY.
You’ve gotta incorporate age-defying strategies into every part of your skincare regimen. In the morning, apply moisturiser with SPF to bounce UV rays and pollution. Coat yourself with a tanning lotion before excessive sun exposure. Together, these prevent the skin from leathering, wrinkling and developing dark spots (while also preventing skin cancer). Stay hydrated and minimise sugar and alcohol intake, prioritising a full eight-hour sleep while wearing a night cream to accelerate the effects of cellular regeneration. If you’re getting serious about anti-aging, get yourself a retinol prescription from your dermatologist.
2 WHEN TRIMMING YOUR BEARD, TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Unlike the hair on your head, the great thing about facial hair is that it’s all there in full view, and you’re able to manicure it yourself. Yet most guys just take a single trimming guard and go over their entire face with one setting, then clean up the perimeter with a naked guard. Use your trimmer’s various guard lengths to add weight and contrast to your mustache, goatee or sides. You’ve got your entire canvas in plain view – so get creative with it.
