What's up, NubianNewYorkers?
Let’s keep it real and straightforward. Looking good isn’t about being flashy, it’s about taking care of yourself and showing up as your best self. Here are five moves every Black and Brown man can make to step up his game:
1. Keep Your Skin Fresh
Don’t sleep on skincare. Wash your face twice a day, especially if you’re out in the city or hitting the gym. Use a gentle cleanser—nothing too harsh. Moisturize every morning and night. If your skin gets ashy, a good moisturizer with shea butter or cocoa butter is your friend. And yes, Black and Brown skin needs sunscreen too! Aim for SPF 30 or higher to protect your melanin and keep your skin looking young.
2. Shape Up That Beard (or Keep It Clean)
Whether you rock a full beard, a goatee, or stay clean-shaven, keep it sharp. Trim your beard regularly, line it up, and use beard oil to keep it soft and smelling good. If you shave, use a fresh razor and shave with the grain to avoid bumps—Black men especially know the struggle with razor bumps, so don’t skip the aftershave or a soothing balm.
3. Hydrate and Eat Right
Water is your secret weapon. Drink plenty of it—your skin, hair, and energy will thank you. Cut back on the junk food and try to get more fruits, veggies, and lean protein. What you put in your body shows up on your face, bro.
4. Dress for Yourself
You don’t need designer labels to look sharp. Find clothes that fit your body right—nothing too baggy, nothing too tight. Clean, well-fitted clothes in colors that complement your skin tone can make you stand out. Don’t be afraid to add a little style: a fresh pair of kicks, a nice watch, or a hat can level up your look.
5. Take Care of Your Mental Health
Confidence is the real glow-up. Stress, lack of sleep, and negative vibes can wear you down. Get your rest, talk to your people, and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. When you feel good inside, it shows on the outside.
Bottom line: Looking good is about self-respect and self-care. You deserve to feel and look your best—so make these moves part of your routine, and watch the compliments roll in. Stay fresh, king!
