Aveda’s Stelios Nicolaou’s Top Tips for Taming Your Tash this Movember
- If you shave around your tash, soothe skin and hair post-shaving with a product like Aveda Men Pure-Formance Composition Oil that not only penetrates deep into the skin but also softens harsh stubble. Massaging into the skin in the direction of growth will maximise the moisture your pores take in.
- Hydrate and moisturise your moustache with Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil – a lightweight, daily leave-in treatment formulated with hero ingredient Buriti Oil to instantly moisturise dry, course facial hair.
- High-texture, definition and a matte finish are yours. Manipulate this paste into your fingers before moulding into the tash. Wash facial hair no more than twice a week. Washing daily will strip out all the natural oils facial hair needs and will leave hair feeling dry and could lead to irritation For added moisture apply Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil to a damp tash to soften stubble and course hair.
- Control your style and maintain a sharp silhouette with Aveda Control Paste – rub between fingers before twisting into the ends to help create a perfect handlebar.
- Create effortless definition and texture by emulsifying a clay paste and stroking through the moustache from root to tips – this will also help to give the illusion of a thicker tash.
- Always prep skin before shaving facial hair around the moustache to avoid irritation, you can do this by gently pressing and holding a hot flannel against the skin and allowing the follicle to rise so you can get a closer shave.
