You spritz your pits and pluck your nose hair before every date. But lurking beneath your otherwise well-groomed facade are sneaky saboteurs that can take you from stud to dud in an instant. Use this checklist from the Men’s Health Girl Next Door, to make sure you’re good to go.
Neck Stubble
Thick, prickly little hairs stick out over some men’s collars like porcupine quills. Swipe with the Gillette M3 Power Nitro every few days to keep your neck neat. $12. Available at Walgreens and walgreens.com.
Mega-Minty Breath
Gargle 5 seconds before you show up and we’ll worry you’re hiding halitosis. Schedule a mouthwash buffer of 20 minutes so the flavor wears off a bit. For a light touch, try Supersmile Single Dose Powdered Mouthrinse. $16. Available at Ulta stores nationwide, (866) 858-2266, and supersmile.com.
Rough, Red Skin on Hands and Forearms
Farmers’ daughters might find the roughness a turn-on, but the rest of us prefer a smooth touch. Don’t forget to hit your knuckles. Use Anthony Sport for Men Healing Hand Cream. $13. Available at May stores and anthonysport.com.
Too-White Teeth
If a man isn’t an actor, model, or game-show host, paper-white teeth make a girl suspect his authenticity, and we wonder what grimy aspect of his lifestyle he might be trying to overcompensate for.
Odious Deodorant
A grown man shouldn’t smell like an infant or a spice rack. Opt for unscented deodorant that will let a hint of your cologne or, even better, the true eau de you come through. Our favorite stick: Clarins Men antiperspirant deodorant. $14. Available at Macy’s and gloss.com.
“Bacne”
Everyone develops the odd zit here and there. But stroking a man’s back (or butt) during sex shouldn’t be like reading Braille. Unclog those pores with an exfoliating scrub, like Molton Brown’s Exhilarating Julipe Cleansing Body Scrub. In fact, don’t try to get her into bed until you do. $30. Available at Neiman Marcus and www.moltonbrown.com.
Shiny Lips
It’s great that you’re nursing your windburned mouth back to health, but coating your kisser with five layers of petroleum is disgusting. A better strategy: Brush your lips with a soft, dry toothbrush to remove flaky skin, apply a thin coat of lip balm, then pat your lips with a tissue to make your mouth matte. Jack Black Intense Therapy lip balm works. $7. Available at Sephora.

Winston Salem Plumbing Pros, 111 N Chestnut St, Winston Salem, NC 27101 I’m impressed, I have to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the issue is one thing that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I am very joyful that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for one thing referring to this.
