GENTS LIFEHACKS
Gents focuses
We all have our own tricks to make life easier, whether it's putting your phone far away from your bed so you can get up in the morning when the alarm goes off or ironing your shirt collar with a straightener. We've listed our very best life hacks to make life a little easier.
A Lifehack is a trick to improve and facilitate life in a practical way. Lifehacks often involve using an existing item for something other than its intended purpose. You simply "hack" life. Lifehacks are available in all categories: beauty, interior design, lifestyle and fashion.
For the creatively inclined, lifehacks are an excellent way to play inventor in everyday life, for those who have not yet come up with any, we at Gents here share our very best Lifehacks!
#1
CLEAN SNEAKERS WITH A TOOTHBRUSH & TOOTHPASTE
Few things are as stylish as new, shiny white trainers. Few things are as ugly as dirty white trainers. Toothpaste and a toothbrush are the answer. Simply put some toothpaste on your toothbrush and brush your shoe, then rinse thoroughly. Voila! Your trainers are as good as new.
#2
HANG FINISHED OUTFITS ON HANGERS
If you're a morning person, this life hack is a real saviour. Hanging the week's outfits on hangers saves time and energy in the morning. You also avoid one or two fashion mistakes.
#3
GET PERFECT EYEBROWS
While you're getting your hair or beard done, spread some of the wax on your eyebrows. Then comb through your eyebrows in an upward motion with the comb from the Sailor's moustache and beard kit. In just a few seconds, you'll have a brighter, more well-groomed look.
#4
MAKES THE PERFUME LAST
Whether you use EdT, EdP or Parfum, the scent will eventually fade, but a life hack is to dab some body lotion or Vaseline on the area before applying your perfume. This way, the skin won't "eat" the perfume and the scent will last longer.
While we're on the subject of scent. All perfume oils can be dabbed on radiators to scent the room.
#5
HEAT A KNIFE AND CUT THE HAND SOAP IN HALF
Have you invested in a really nice hand soap but forgot that you also had a guest toilet? No worries. Heat a knife and gently split the hand soap in half. Also a tip for those who want to save money. No one will believe that you went to such great lengths to get two soaps.
#6
THINK CREATIVELY WHEN IT COMES TO OILS
Most oils can be used for more than exactly what the label says. For example, Benjamin Barber's beard oil can be used for dry elbows and Dermalogica Ultra Calming Serum concentrate works as a hand cream for those with sensitive skin. Sailor's beard oil is perfect for the ends if you have long hair. Get creative! However, we recommend being more cautious when it comes to using products for intimate activities, as it is safest to follow the recommendations to avoid uncomfortable visits to the emergency room.
