Ladies, meet Justin, a 30 year old from LA who's a Co-Owner of SmokeStik (the company that makes electric cigs, gotta love smoking alternatives). Naturally a Lakers fan, he's quite the athlete himself and enjoys surfing, boxing, running and hiking. Check out what he has to say about his grooming habits and guilty pleasures.
What’s in your medicine cabinet?
Cor face soap (I am addicted to it), Neutrogena shaving gel, Neutrogena after shave lotion, Cor eye cream, Visine, and Perry Ellis Night cologne.
What product can’t you live without and why?
Cor face soap is magic for your face. All of my guy friends are addicted to it. Your face feels so smooth and clean and I swear I look younger every time I use it.
How would you describe your grooming habits?
I am very need and clean cut. I don’t like a lot of body hair. I usually shower twice a day just because I hate feeling dirty. I usually have scruff on my face but I keep it neat.
Now be honest, how would a woman describe your grooming habits?
I think any women would describe me as an neat freak (or even anal). Besides my personal grooming I keep my room, car, and kitchen spotless. My bathroom sink area is the only thing I have difficulty with.
When prepping to go out on a date what are the three things you make sure you do?
Apply Cor face cream, use mouth wash, and a put on some Perry Ellis Night (not too much just enough to smell good).
If you could have one night with any celebrity who would it be and why? More importantly, what would you do?
Well I love blondes but my go to celebrity has always been Rachel Bilson. She has great style, a quirky personality, and a cute petite body. I think she is so cute and would be a very fun date. Not to mention very sexy! One of my new favorite date spots is The Malibu Winery off Kanan Cyn in Malibu. You can bring your own picnic and they have live music on the weekends. The scenery is out of this world…and wine by the bottle. There are picnic tables or you can set up your own area on the grass. I think Rachel and I could have a very romantic time here. Do I need to say more?!
What’s the first thing you notice about a woman?
I love blondes so usually the hair. Up close I love beautiful eyes. I can stare into gorgeous eyes all night and not get tired of it.
What’s your guiltiest pleasure?
Red Wine…it’s the Italian in me. I love it so much! I am really trying to cut back…I really am but a great glass of pinot noir makes me love the world.
This Japanese skincare company seems to know a thing or two about marketing to men – just add alcohol. Kyoku, a men's skincare line made out of all natural ingredients from Japan, highlights sake as a key moisturizing ingredient in their shaving cream.
Of course, I had Joe (the BF) put it to the test against his stubble. He was an immediate fan of the cooling feeling and familiar menthol-like scent, but the directions annoyed him. "Apply to wet skin with fingertips and let rest for two minutes." Since he shaves daily, Joe's not the type of guy who has an extra two minutes to add onto his grooming routine. If your mans into really pampering himself, this stuff is essential.
There are so many things that make a man undatable. I'm sure you can create an indepth list, but take it from me, a girl who finally found love after being single in NYC for years. Ladies let me tell you, it all begins with grooming. Here's my list of what makes a guy undateable from head to toe and yes, everywhere in between if you know what I mean.
If the subject has a uni-brow or brows waxed to perfection he is undateable. There is no excuse for a uni-brow. If there was a woman in his life at some point, she would have helped him take care of this situation. So chances are, he looks stupid and has no clue about dating to begin with. Or maybe he actually likes it. Don't barbers normally do something about those? And Guido brows... don't get me started. They're a strict no, no. This normally signifies that he'll always be more prim and proper than you are in every way. Undateable.
