Kube Studios Shaving Tips

Kube Studios: The Perfect Shave

Kube Studios are London's premier photography studio. Kube specialise in portfolio shoots and modelling shoots but cater for a wide variety of photography needs. In this post Kube Studios look  at the best way to give yourself a wet shave. Men normally prefer wet shaves in the summer as its easier to get a good result when the air temperature is higher. When the skin is cold it goes tight and dries easier which can cause skin to flake after a wet shave. Before you start, wash your face with warm water and dab excess water off with a hot towel before applying a generous layer of shaving foam/gel.

If you do this you're much less likely to nick your skin. Pull the skin tight and go with the grain of the hair. It's a popular misconception that you should shave against the grain. This can give you in growing hair which is quite painful. Try to use as few strokes as possible to avoid over irritating the skin, rinsing the razor in warm water between each stroke. Once you're done, moisturise with a soothing lotion, preferably containing aloe, and avoid traditional alcohol based aftershaves as they can be stingy and dry out the skin.

Looking After Yourself As A Male Model

Kube Studios Male Modelling

Kube Studios are specialists in Male Modelling. Here are three steps towards ensuring you are at your male modelling best on every photo shoot. As well as working out and eating healthily, here are some ideas you may not have thought to do.

Get  Plenty of Rest

Have a good nights sleep before any photo shoot. As you get closer to your deadline you'll begin to feel the effects of the diet and training and start looking gaunt. Your body will also increase its cortisol levels which can result in losing muscle and storing water around your midsection.

A great way to avoid this is to rest. Strive for at least eight hours each night, and if you can get more, do so. If you can take a nap during the day, take it.

Get Massages

This will help you have good posture. Getting a good quality massage will help relieve the discomfort you feel from your training and diet. But you'll be surprised how much loosening your body can improve your spirit and help you make the most of your final few workouts.

Pleasures are few and far between during a major cut like this, so pamper yourself where you can. If it helps, you can justify the increased expense because your food budget goes down over the 10 days.

Get A Tan

Great for topless shoots. Tanned skin simply looks better under the lights, and it will showcase more definition. If you're afraid of getting a real tan because of the dangerous rays, well, a fake tan never hurt anyone—although bad fake tans have bruised a lot of egos!

You can get a professional spray-on tan, which is well worth the cost if you're preparing for a show or photo shoot. Keep in mind, that even a good fake tan almost never looks as good as a natural tan, so if you can get some natural sunlight in gradual increments each day, you'll look much healthier.
