Groomed Gentleman
Summer in the City
A Grooming Guide by Zach Falconer-Barfield
Dark patches under the arms , the sickly smell of sweat , lobster pink skin , the layer of grime , these are some of the potential joys of a Summer in the City for the Groomed Gentleman . But have no fear , the guidance of the well groomed guys here at PGHQ are on hand to give you some advice to stay cool , fragrant & on tip top form for the summer months ahead .
Two Showers
Extravagant we know , but sometimes the best solution is the simplest . During the heat of summer months in the city and quick rinse between the day & into the evening is best . We are not talking a full on battery of ablutions but just a quick rinse before stepping out into the night .
Also when you shower , finishing your shower with a blast of cold water , will close the pores and help you regulate temperature and help you to sweat less .
Clean & Fragrant
The summer is all about fragrance . The Flowers bloom , the air gets cleaner and there is that scent of sun in the air .
We always recommend you should have different fragrances for different seasons . Therefore you should also change your scent when the summer comes . Look towards lighter notes in your fragrances , such as Citrus . Experiment with a couple of new scents and see how they work with your skin over the course of the day and also how they work with perspiration .
One thing that ladies know well , is layering this not only applies to clothes but also scents . Think about what you are putting together , from the wash you uses for your body , the shampoo , the moisturiser and especially the deodorant . You want to make them all work well together and not against each other .
