2. Start clean-shaven, then let your Mo take the spotlight and start conversations.
3. Ask friends and family to back your by donating.

BE PREPARED

take the time to choose the moustache that will grace your face the best. Trucker, regent, connoisseur or wisp? Check out the options at movember.com.

BE BRAVE

The first few days, even weeks, can be uncomfortable as your Mo takes shape. Ride it out to encourage donations.

Be sure to pick up some beard, tash and face oils to help the growing process in the early stages.

IGNORE THE ITCHING

Try and remind yourself that men have endured worse in the past. You can stand a little face tickle.

The King C. Gillette Men’s Beard and Face Wash is packed with coconut water, argan oil and avocado oil, which will help keep things clean up there.

LOOK AFTER YOUR MOUSTACHE

Be sure to apply all the proper grooming techniques. A great Mo comes down to great grooming.

Use beard balms and look for in-growing hairs, which can easily be removed with tweezers if spotted early.

NURTURE IT

Lads, if you look after your Mo, your Mo will look after you.

There's nothing worse than an overgrown face. Keep things in check this Movember and trim your beard regularly for a sharp, clean look.

Use an electric beard trimmer when things get a little hairy out there.
