In addition to being physically fit, Jon Hamm rocks the exact amount of facial hair to drive every woman within a million miles wild. His groomer reveals eight guidelines for you to follow to get as dapper as Don Draper, provided by socialcitykids.com:
1. Cleansing. According to Hamm’s groomer, “The most important step is for the man to have healthy, fresh and moisturized skin.” Flawless skin means that you won’t need to spend tons of time grooming or use of products. Hamm uses ReVive Cream Cleanser ($75) to cleanse his skin, which should be done every morning and night, and ReVive Balancing Toner ($65) to tone it.
2. Moisturizing; this is the next step after cleansing. While cleansing cleans out your pores and makes you feel refreshed, moisturizing leaves your skin feeling soft and silky. While most men do not like they love the application of skincare, according to Hamm’s groomer; it’s almost like a mini facial. Hamm uses ReVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream ($195).
3. Eyes. Using eye serum can help tired eyes (especially if it contains caffeine) and enhance the firmness of your skin under and around your eyes. Additionally, eye serum can reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles and can restore elasticity to develop healthier and younger-looking skin and leave you feeling refreshed, thedermreview.com. Hamm uses ReVive Intensite Volumizing Eye Serum ($350).
4. Skincare. In addition to cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin, every man should apply eye serums daily and protect their skin with the use of SPF. This routine may take some time, but skincare is a simple investment in a younger-looking appearance.
5. Facial Hair. Hamm’s groomer uses a beard trimmer on his clients to remove hairs that are out-of-place and sculpt the ideal length and shape according to each individuals face shape.

To get your facial hair Hollywood-worthy, Hamm’s groomer recommends wet-shaving your neck area to create perfect lines rather than having your beard grow out on its own.
6. Hair. Hamm’s groomer advises the use of American Crew hair products, specifically Alternator and Firm Hold Styling Gel. He first uses Alternator to dampen the hair and then blow-dries it by effortlessly running his fingers along the sides and back of the hair. To manage the top of the hair, he uses a medium-sized round brush on random sections to create a naturally-voluminous look with a little added shine. To finish, he blow-dries the hair back, away from the face, and applies the Firm Hold Styling Gel through the hair for an effortless look that will last all day!
7. Prep Time. Your entire daily grooming process should take about 3o minutes: 15 for your hair and 15 for your skin.
Not all men are given the attention of a professional on a daily basis, so utilize these tips on proper skincare to regenerate your skin’s appearance. Remember, your skin changes as you age, so adjustments in the use of products and techniques are necessary as you make your way through different age groups. The above tips are recommended for a 35-40-year-old man.
