Get Ready for Winter Festivities
With Gents
December is a busy month. Gifts need to be purchased, and plans need to be made. At the same time, it’s a season filled with festive occasions. We guide you on how to perfect the details for the winter celebrations.
1.
The Shower
The first step to feeling fresh and clean is, of course, taking a shower. Start by setting the water temperature to 35°. This is warm enough to avoid drying out your skin and hair while reducing health risks such as elevated blood pressure. Wash your body with Benjamin Barber’s body wash in the delightful scents of exotic Oud or masculine Black Oak. Or try Molton Brown’s popular Re-Charge Black Pepper.
Follow up with a richly foaming shampoo. Power’s shampoo fights dandruff and soothes an irritated scalp, while Benjamin Barber’s Saffron & Leather hydrates dry and brittle hair. Massage the shampoo into your scalp until it lathers thoroughly. Rinse and repeat to deeply cleanse your hair.
2.
Moisturizing
After a warm and relaxing shower, apply a body lotion in the scents of Oud, Saffron & Leather, or Black Oak. All three moisturize your skin and leave a pleasant fragrance. A pro tip to make your perfume last longer is to apply body lotion to the areas where you’ll spray your fragrance – this pre-hydrates your skin and prevents the perfume from being absorbed too quickly.
3.
Shaving
Preparation is everything, especially when it comes to shaving. For the best shaving experience, keep your bathroom organized. Few things are as satisfying as having your shaving tools neatly arranged on the sink.
Picture an elegant shaving stand with a brush and safety razor hanging side by side. Add a shaving soap, a sleek stainless steel shaving bowl, and an aftershave balm to complete the picture, and you have what we consider the definition of perfection.

Nails and Eyebrows
If you haven’t had time to trim ear hair, nose hair, bushy eyebrows, or nails before Christmas due to the holiday rush, the days between Christmas and New Year’s are the perfect opportunity to do so. Keeping these small details in check is key to looking well-groomed. It doesn’t take long, but it’s incredibly important.
5.
Ready for the Party
Now you’re almost ready for the festivities. Comb your hair into place and apply the perfume you’ve chosen for the special occasion. Pick a scent that will become memorable – so you can later associate this magical time with its aroma.
