It is that time of year again--girls love it, guys tend to hate it, unless you're the groom. Don't let the pressure of wedding season get you down. Clint Carter, a senior editor at Men's Health magazine, offers these helpful tips on how to look feel less stressed, look great and give good gift.
1. Start taking a multivitamin now. "There have been a couple of studies that say that men who take a daily multivitamin report feeling less stress, less anxiety, and less fatigue," says Carter. His multivitamin pick: Rainbow Light. "They are totally natural, no artificial anything. And if you have any dietary concerns, there's no added sugar, no dairy, no gluten, none of that," he explains. Try the The Men's One Multivitamin, or if you're a serious athlete, get the Performance Energy For Men Multivitamin. Bogged down by heavy stress? Zen Therapy is formulated to help keep you feeling calm. Also, don't' forget to exercise and eat right.
2. It's all about good hair. "The next big thing you have to worry about is how to look your best at the wedding without putting in an insane amount of effort," says Carter. His trick? Show up with great hair. The new Dove Men+Care Oxygen Charge Fortifying Shampoo addresses everything that plague men's hair like thinning, a greasy scalp or dandruff. "It's an all-in-one package that helps make your hair more stylable," he says. When it comes to styling, the Dove Men+Care Define & Strong Hold Fortifying Styling Gel is perfect for a slicked-back look, while the Sculpt & Texture Fortifying Styling Paste is ideal for shorter hair and a matte, natural look.
3. Be a smart smartphone shopper for wedding gifts. Between all the expense of traveling and tuxedo rentals, wedding season can add up quickly--but you can be smart about how much you spend on wedding gifts. "I recommend the Retail Me Not app because it brings together about 50,000 retailers and the average person saves $20 per transaction. You can even game the system and buy a gift based around what's going to give you the most savings," advises Carter. You can also find great deals on clothing to update your wedding season wardrobe.
