Beauty Tips for Boys

A lot of boys are bashful when it comes to beauty, often because they’d prefer to be rugged, masculine or handsome, anything but beautiful!

Thankfully with a wealth of new men’s health and personal care products on the market looking your very best is easier than ever before. Take care of yourself properly and - cliché though it may be - your natural beauty will be shining through in no time!

Looking After Your Skin

The teenage years are a traumatic time for your skin. Hormonal changes, excess oil production, sweat and air and water pollution all contribute to spots. A lot of times these breakouts aren’t restricted to your face, but can even pop up on your shoulders, back and bum! Fight back by using face and body wash, and investigate the wide range of male skincare products in your local chemist’s shop. Be sure to pick up:

• A good all over cleanser, such as soap or body wash.
• Moisturizer for dry skin.
• Facial exfoliator (grainy scrub) to help remove dead skin cells, which you should use a few times per week.
• Face wash for your skin type: dry/sensitive, normal, oily or combination.
• Toner to improve your skin tone and tighten pores.
• Facial moisturizer to leave your face feeling silky smooth.
• A rich shaving gel to help your razor glide over your skin.
• A razor with an aloe and/or vitamin strip to discourage nasty razor burn.
• The contact information of a recommended dermatologist if you feel that your skin needs professional attention.

Looking After Your Teeth

Good oral hygiene is sometimes a forgotten beauty secret, but nothing could be less attractive than dirty, stained teeth, puffy gums and bad breath. Make sure that you rise above this disgusting state by:

• Finding a toothbrush shaped to fit your mouth.
• Toothpaste in a flavour you like.
• Antiseptic and anti-plaque mouthwash.
• Dental floss to pass between your teeth and dislodge debris.
• Using all three of these products in combination after every meal.
• Visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleaning.

Looking After Your Hair

Almost as nasty as poor oral hygiene is lank, greasy hair. Visit a barber or hairstyle to ask for the right haircut for your face shape, not what is simply trendy or cheap. When you get home, keep this hair heaven with:

• A shampoo for your hair type - thin, thick, coloured, dry, oily or normal.
• Daily shampooing to clean your hair.
• Conditioner to leave your hair shiny, healthy and smooth.
• A comb to help navigate your tangles.
• Gel or another styling product to help hold your preferred style.

Looking After the Rest

There’s so much more to looking fantastic, but so little time! Carve out a few extra minutes to:

• Apply deodorant and/or antiperspirant liberally each morning.
• Pluck any stray hairs between your eyebrows.
• Trim any nose or ear hairs that you can see.
• Use sunscreen every day, even if it is cloudy or rainy outside.
• Buy a small lip balm to treat chapped lips.
• Splurge on cologne for an extra boost.

Looking good shouldn’t be hard work. As soon as you get into a daily routine of looking after your skin, teeth and hair you should start to see results. But, even if you morph into a male model overnight, remember that beauty is only skin deep. Strive to look your best, be yourself and have fun!

UNIQUE REEBOK KFS SPRINGFIT PRO II FOR GIGGS

As Ryan Giggs prepares to beat Bobby Charlton’s appearance record for Manchester United, at the Champions League final against Chelsea in Moscow next Wednesday, Reebok have produced a special pair of boots for the occasion.

The Reebok KFS SprintFit II are inscribed with Moscow 2008 and have the number 759 embroidered on their tongues. Only one pair has been made and no more will be produced.

The Reebok boot features their unique Kinetic Fit System (KFS) for greater support, comfort and flexibility in critical areas of the foot.

The upper is made from kangaroo leather and there’s an integrated heal counter for stability and protection.

Giggs has been with Reebok since he started his professional career 17 years ago. Unbelievably, he’s been with Manchester United a staggering 21 years after signing schoolboy forms as a 14 year old.

He equalled Charlton’s record of 758 appearances in the final league game of the season which saw United take the Premier League title ahead of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

5 things guys want in a girlfriend

Okay, life doesn’t exactly come with a dating handbook. So I’ll take it upon myself to shed some light on what guys really look for!

Everyone knows what a guy is supposed to want in a girlfriend: a soul mate, a best friend, blah, blah, blah. But I’m going to let you in on a little-known fact: Those are all great concepts, but there are other, more real qualities guys secretly want in a girlfriend — ones that nobody ever tells you about. They may seem like insignificant little details, but taken as a whole, these things can make a guy never, ever want to give you up.

1. DON’T LEAVE HIM GUESSING
Guessing is fun when it comes to game shows, but Howie Mandel can’t help him when he’s trying to figure out which movie you’d like to see or what you want for your birthday. I know you girls all wish we’d just get you enough to figure it out on our own, but the truth is, guys aren’t great at reading subtle hints. So just tell your guy what you want — it will make your life easier, and he will be a lot less confused. If all you give him to go on is, “I’ll watch anything,” your guy will end up spending more time talking to Mr. Moviefone than he will hanging out with you!

2.KNOW WHEN IT’S OKAY TO LIE
Guys want you to be honest when it comes to important things, like whether you’re dating him exclusively or how far you want to go physically. But when it comes to personal things that could be sore spots, like thinking his best friend is hot or hating his mom’s cooking, he’d prefer that you tell a little white lie. You don’t have to pretend to love his hideous new shirt, but you can just say something neutral, like, “It’s okay. I like your green one better.” Guys appreciate when girls have the heart not to needlessly hurt our feelings — because yes, we do have them!

3. PICK YOUR BATTLES
No relationship is perfect, and no two people are going to agree on everything. A great girlfriend doesn’t let her pride stand in the way of letting her guy walk away from a silly argument at least thinking he got his point across (even if you still secretly disagree with him). If you’re arguing about something important to you, like your religious beliefs, then stick to your guns. But little disagreements can snowball into big fights. And nothing is sadder than having a huge fight and breaking up because he doesn’t think Grey’s Anatomy rocks and you think it’s awesome. McDreamy’s just not worth it.

4. HUMOR HIM
Stupid as it may seem, guys get worked up about things like video games and sports. The best girlfriends realize that these things really mean something to guys and affect us on an emotional level. Think about how psyched you get when you score a great bag at a killer sale. It makes your day, right? That’s how we feel when our team sinks a half-court buzzer beater. And it’s nice to have a girl who’ll cheer right along with us, whether or not she really cares what just happened.

5. GIVE HIM A BREAK
Girls will always be our main focus, but sometimes we just want to hang out with our friends. Guys are so used to being told what to do by our moms that we have it in our head that we’ll need to beg our girlfriend’s permission to see our buddies. So if your guy says, “I might hang out with the guys on Saturday night,” and you reply, “Okay, have fun!” he’ll think you’re cool. And it’ll make him want to hang out with you that much more next Saturday night!

the shy girls & boys guide to flirting

Meeting new guys or gals can be pretty difficult sometimes, am I right? and often, We find it especially hard to go out of our way and introduce ourself to new guys or gals It seems a lot of my friends have this problem, too. I firmly believe you don’t have to be outrageous to get the attention of a boy, so I have compiled some tips for all of you shy girls out there!

Call for backup :They say ‘two heads are better than one,’ right? Shameless double teaming is totally fine. Secure the help of a confidence-boosting friend and make your move. Pretending to know him from somewhere (even though you know darn well you don’t) might be an interesting ice breaker – and a great way to get his name!

Act it out : Think of talking to that mysterious dreamboy as part of a play. Pretending you’re ‘in character’ might give you the added confidence you need to get that initial convo going. Consider it research!

Rationalize : Drill into your head that the very worst that can happen is he isn’t interested. No big deal. There are plenty of guys or gals that probably already are! If all else fails, you may end up making a good friend…and chances are he has other friends you’ll meet (wink, wink).

Relax : Don’t stress! My philosophy is: when you are totally comfortable in your own skin, it shows, and it draws people to you! Just because you’re a little shy doesn’t mean you can’t snag the boy or girl. Smiles and a positive, friendly attitude are the only tools you need! Besides, shy can come across as coy and mysterious a la Angelina Jolie.

What are your best flirting tips?

RYAN GIGGS - THE GREATEST??

Ryan Giggs helped Manchester United reclaim the Premier League trophy. Having won 10 title medals in his illustrious career, should he also get the accolade as the best player the Premier League has ever seen?

It was the 29th November 1987, when Alex Ferguson made one of the best signings of his managerial career. Ferguson signed a 14 year old boy onto the Manchester United’s books. On the 9th July 1990, Ryan Giggs was given a Manchester United contract - almost 18 years ago.

Ryan Giggs made his first team début for Manchester United against Everton, on the 2nd March 1991. That was 758 games ago, now Ryan Giggs has equalled Bobby Charlton’s appearance record for the club and may well surpass it when Manchester United face Chelsea in the Champions League final in Moscow next week.

The Greatest

When people think about the best player to grace the Premier League, a few names always crop up; Cantona, Henry, Zola, Bergkamp, Shearer, Cech, Adams and there are others, but few can dispute that Giggs is amongst the list.

Honours

Looking at his unrivalled war chest of honours (right hand side), nobody comes close to the Welsh Wizard, but its not just his medals that make Giggs the best the Premier League has seen…..

Talent

Giggs started his career as a left winger. His pace, control, balance and skill frightened full backs all over the world. It drew comparisons with another footballing legend, George Best and he was awarded the U-21 European Footballer of the Year.

Aged 17 he became the youngest player to represent Wales internationally. He went on to gain 64 caps before retiring from international football in 2007.

Consistency

Giggs has maintained his form throughout his career at Manchester United, at the top level of football, never making fewer than 30 appearances in a season. A formidable record considering the competition for places and the standard of the game he has played.

Loyalty

In an age where moving clubs every few years is so commonplace, it’s rare to see a player stay at a club as long as Giggs has. He could have earned millions in transfer fee’s over the years, instead he focused on his football.

Off the Field

Giggs is a great role model for children. He now refrains from over publicising himself, something he was perhaps guilty of when he first came on the scene. Even his foorball boot sponsor has been consistent, Giggs has been with Reebok for several years now and currently wears the Reebok SprintFit Football boots.

Versatility

Of late Giggs has demonstrated that he is not a one trick pony. As the years have crept up on him, he has had to adapt his game as he has lost a little of his pace.

Giggs started out as a pacey winger, before adapting to play as a central striker and more recently he has been used as a central midfielder.

Ryan Giggs

Few can contest the ability of Ryan Giggs, he’s performed at the very top level for almost two decades and his attitude has been exemplary. Look at the all round player and person Ryan Giggs is, he’s the greatest the Premier League has ever seen.758

Wigan 0-2 Man Utd: Giggs goal seals United’s title

Record-holder Ryan Giggs marked a lifetime’s loyalty with the best present possible as he delivered another Premier League title to Manchester United as they beat Wigan 2-0.

United were in front but needing calming despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-half penalty when Giggs kept his nerve to coolly slot home Wayne Rooney’s through ball.

A quarter of an hour earlier, Giggs’ had been introduced for his 758th United appearance, equalling a milestone left by Sir Bobby Charlton that will surely be eclipsed in Moscow on May 21.

But all Giggs will care about is adding to a medal collection that continues to expand, containing all 10 championships won under Sir Alex Ferguson, part of an overall United haul of 17, one adrift of Liverpool, who Ferguson has vowed to overtake.

Few would begrudge the Red Devils their latest success, even if the free-flowing attack that has propelled them to glory by two points over Chelsea - who drew 1-1 with Bolton - was strangely muted.

But United were not to be denied and 10 minutes from time, Rooney provided the killer pass for Giggs to wrap up yet another title and allow minds to wander towards the Luzhniki Stadium in 10 days’ time when they intend to leave Chelsea heartbroken once more.

As a result the Red Devils have secured their tenth title in the Premier League era and their seventeenth League Championship of all time, moving them just one behind Liverpool’s record of eighteen triumphs. It is the first time that the Old Trafford giants have lifted back-to-back titles since 2001.

Happy… (Part 1)
