Once regarded as a superfluous exercise of self-care favoured by Patrick Bateman types, the face mask can be one of the most transformative parts of the modern skincare routine. From membrane sheet masks that promise to plump out wrinkles to redness-soothing gel serums, pots of volcanic clay designed to minimize pores and even cyborg-esque LED masks built to zap scars and stimulate collagen production, whatever your skincare concerns, there’s likely a mask that can help. Plus, with the sorry state of our winter eyebags, some self-care tips from Bateman actually wouldn’t go amiss. Better to be a well-groomed psychopath than a disheveled one, after all.

Although there’s hope that the end result of colouring one’s hair will be stylish and rewarding, that’s not always the case – just see Mr Danny DeVito in Matilda. Even without glue pranks to contend with, however, the whole process can prove challenging. From over-damaging your hair to getting the wrong colour, there are multiple wrong turns away from your final destination. But fear not: we are here to take your hand and guide you down the road to variegated follicular greatness. Whether or not you have access to a hair salon, and whether or not you have any experience in dyeing your hair, we’ve got you covered.

For most of us, learning how to shave was a case of trial and error. Armed with fatherly advice and guesswork, the daily routine of men around the world became little more than an effort to avoid bloodbaths, ingrown hairs and embarrassing rashes. It is my sincere belief that the sheer disdain most men have for shaving is what triggered the resurgence of the beard more than a decade ago.

This year has been hard on us all, and it shows. If you’ve spotted more wrinkles than you’re comfortable with, or have a bad case of stress-face and need a relaxing grooming routine, contact us at asky@mrporter.com or on social media with all of your style and grooming enquiries. We’ll do our best to help solve your grooming and skincare-related questions, and get you looking as bright eyed and bushy tailed as you did in distant 2019.
