How To Look Hotter as a Man According to GQ & Dr. Green

GQ asked Dr. Green about a few things in today’s list of “10 Ways to Look Hotter, According to Grooming Experts” – the piece brings together expert advice from dermatologists, dentists, barbers, and hair specialists to tackle the most common men’s grooming questions across skin, hair, and hygiene.

Dr. Michele Green cuts through the morning-vs-night shower debate by grounding it in basic skin science. As she explains, “It is essential to hygiene, as it removes dead skin cells, dirt, sweat, oil, pollutants and other impurities.” From a skin-health standpoint, she favors evenings: “Showering at night removes the impurities accumulated throughout the day and prevents them from being transferred to sheets and pillowcases.” That said, she acknowledges the other side — “Most people sweat at night” — making a morning rinse equally valid depending on your lifestyle.

When it comes to what you actually use in the shower, Green is equally specific. For dry or sensitive skin, she recommends “soothing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, colloidal oat or aloe” and for oilier, acne-prone skin, “exfoliating acids such as glycolic or salicylic.” The broader takeaway is that timing matters less than consistency and choosing the right ingredients for your skin type — small, informed habits that add up over time.
