When it comes to Valentine's Day beauty prep, all the focus seems to be on women. We get cutesy nail art, sexy blowouts, and endless lipstick options. We're here to put a stop to that. Pre-date men's grooming is of paramount importance — after all, men are the ones prone to questionable body odors and stubbly scruff. We consulted the ultimate manly man: Terry Crews, the Old Spice guy! At the Old Spice Fresher Collection launch event, the hulking hunk gave us tips to pass along to your dude before your big date this weekend (because let's be real, it's not enticing to snuggle up if your guy looks more sloppy than sexy). And if you're just celebrating Galentine's Day this year, no worries . . . feast on Terry eye candy when you read on.

Shower.
"When in doubt, double up [on showers] . . . and make sure you get all the parts. I have certain scrubbies for certain areas. A lot of people try to just put soap in their hand and do a quick wipe of everything. No, a scrubby gets off all the dead skin cells and makes you healthier."

Spritz on some cologne.
"Old Spice has some great body sprays. You do need to cancel out whatever's left over [postshower], and then there's a lingering niceness for the rest of the day."

Wear deodorant.
"Deodorant or antiperspirant is extremely important because we all know, as men, it can get really foul."

Suit up.
"Buy the best outfit you can afford. I've never been a fan of spending a million bucks to try to look good, but you can get a suit from The Salvation Army and have it tailored amazingly. I tell people all the time, 'You're either getting better, or you're getting worse every day.' So do something to make yourself better. . . . I think clothing is the last piece that puts it all together to make you shine."
