Grooming Tips for Men

For puffy eyes after a rough night, try this trick long used by hard-drinking Hollywood action stars: Soak cotton pads in witch hazel, freeze until cold, squeeze out the excess liquid, and place on your lower eyelids until you’re back to looking the part.

For extra-sweaty feet or underarms, moisten black tea bags in warm water, and apply to the trouble spots for 20 minutes three times a week. The tannic acid calms sweat glands.

Sprinkle Zeasorb powder in your funkiest sneakers. Unlike other foot powders, it doesn’t contain cornstarch, which can act as free food for bacteria and fungus ($12; drugstore.com).

If you’re prone to foot fungus, put your socks on before your boxers. This will stop the shorts from touching your feet and transferring the rot to your groin.

Antioxidant cream, one of the few non-scam wrinkle treatments, just got even more legit. The antioxidant idebenone, in nonprescription Prevage ($115; prevage.com), was shown in a UC-San Francisco study to be the best antiwrinkle antioxi of them all.
