Its getting to that Freshers week time of year again when you need be looking your best so we here at Flip want to help. Lets face it guys, girls dont want to be kissing anyone with skin that feels rougher than a bears arse now do they. So our lets get started.

Scrub Up

With not much of a summer and a really cold winter, chances are you have been buried in jumpers and coats for the last six months or so. Unless you’ve been on your holidays, your skin is going to be looking tired, dull and even a bit rough. However, no need to worry as there is a cure for this. Its time to Scrub up. All you need to do is make sure that you use an exfoliating body wash in the shower or bath. By doing so you will help remove any dead skin cells, rejuvenating the new skin ready for your date with the ladies oh and if your lucky, that last bit of summer sun. Use a separate scrub for your face, that has less abrasive exfoliating particles.

Flip Suggests – Sanex Dermo Exfoliate is suited for daily use and helps renew your skin cells.  Thanks to its microparticle containing formula, it gently cleans your skin by helping get rid of dead cells, leaving your skin soft and renewed day after day. Available at Superdrug. For your face we also suggest Gillette TGS Scrub Cleanser which prepares facial hair and skin for a shaving, its also suitable for everyday use on Sensitive Skin. This is also available at Superdrug.

Toe Time

This ones more important when it comes to having pulled those lovely ladies. Theres nothing worse than having bad feet. You’ve been knocking around in trainers and shoes and your feet are probably looking rather unsightly. It’s a fairly simple task to repair and only needs to be done as and when needed. There’s nothing wrong with getting a man-pedicure, but if this isn’t your bag then follow these 3 simple and easy steps. Also, remember that this applies to your hands too!

Soak – soften the skin on your feet by soaking them in some warm water, adding a dash of shower gel.

Scrub – Using a generous amount of your body scrub (such as Sanex), massage your feet thoroughly, making sure to get between your toes and the back of your heel. Rinse and pat dry. If your feet are prone to hard skin patches pick up a foot file from your local Boots and give them a gentle scrub. 1 – 2 minutes on each foot should do it. Its worth investing in to a PedEgg

Trim – No one wants to see Hobbit feet this summer. There’s nothing wrong with guys having hairy feet, it’s only natural, but misshapen, discoloured toenails are a different matter. Firstly, don’t attempt to shave or remove any toe hair – it will only result in new hair appearing to grow back darker. Just make sure your nails are trimmed back to a reasonable length and filed to a clean, even shape. If you suffer from discoloured nails then you may have a mild nail infection, nothing a trip to your doctor or pharmacist won’t sort.

Smell

Girls hate the smell of sweat and beer. They want you to smell nice and nothing sends a girl wilder than a nice fragrence or two. So ditch that lynx crap you keep spraying and go out and get a nice after shave. For Men who already get after shave, You could either select something with common elements to what you are used to, or alternatively pick up a new scent altogether. Perhaps Paul SmithSunshine or an all time classic like Giorgio Armani’s Acqua Di Gio.

Flip Suggests - DIESEL Only The Brave comes in three amounts: 30, 50 and 75 ml, with 100 ml after shave lotion and balm, 200ml perfumed baths and 150 ml deo sprey. Only The Brave is available at The Perfume Shop.
