With working from home becoming the norm for many guys, you may have gotten used to not shaving—even if you were used to that baby-faced look in the past. If you’ve found yourself wanting to keep some of that facial hair but don’t want to go all out with a full beard, it might be time to try out a mustache. While always popular among men no matter the decade, mustaches are nearly as popular for men now as they were in the ‘70s, when seemingly every famous man sported one.

To help make your decision a little easier, we’ll guide you through the most popular styles along with some help from a couple of top barbers—George Amino of Clever Barber in Brooklyn and Jose Montano of DTLA Cuts in Los Angeles. They’ll share how to style and maintain each look, and what they think of each one.

Fortunately, it’s one that’s not too terribly difficult to pick up. Plus, you might even find that spreading acrylic from cuticle to tip is one of the most soothing ASMR experiences yet.

Since doing your acrylic nails is most definitely a process, we’re here to walk you through it. Ahead you’ll find step-by-step instructions for doing your own acrylic nails at home.

Most importantly, don’t rush. Taking your time with this technique is the difference between an unsightly nail mishap and a salon-quality mani. Ahead, find a step-by-step guide for how to do acrylic nails at home.

by sabpro April 5, 2020

written by sabpro

If you feel bummed every time you have an acne breakout because nothing in your bathroom cabinet seems to keep the pimples at bay, you’re not alone. Adult acne is incredibly common, affecting 40-54% of people over the age of 25. And yet, as common as it is, every person’s skin responds differently to different treatments. Like, that face-wash your friend swears by may leave your skin feeling dryer than you would like, while that cream you saw people raving about on TV doesn’t quite zap your zits.

Overall, the search for the perfect acne-clearing products can be tricky and, at times, really frustrating. One of the keys to effectively treat your acne is getting to the root of why your pimples pop up in the first place.
