Actor Omari Hardwick, best known in recent years for his work as the lead character in the STARZ hit show, Power. Hardwick started off modeling and acting and his body proves it. But when he recently sat down with GQ to do a video showing his morning skin and beauty routine, Hardwick left women wanting more.
Currently with over 1.8 million views, women stared at the video looking at his chiseled abs and body leaving comments like, "I watched that 3 times already and didn't hear a word he said. Damn he fine." Another commenter said, "He is just fine AF!" And yet, another comment read, "if 'I’m-getting-finer-by-the-day-baby' was a person."
Hardwick's morning ritual is where he gets ready for the day. Whether that’s using toner twice to properly wake himself up or applying cologne with the goal of giving the perfect hug, it’s all little pit stops on his metaphorical path to goodness. “I am trying every day to put my best foot forward,” he says, “and that starts right here in the morning.”

Here are four keys to Omari's routine to get your game up to his level.
Wake and Shake with Water
Thayers Witch Hazel facial mist
$11 (Ulta)
To help boost his energy for the day ahead, Hardwick splashes some lukewarm water on his face and follows it up with witch hazel. Give it three or four spritzes and, if you’re feeling really sluggish, don’t hesitate to use it on other parts of your body: shoulders, back of your head, chest. Now, he says, “I’m awake.”

A crisp, clean-shaven man is always in season, no matter who you are--and Omari's newly bald head is no exception. “You gotta know the shape of your face,” he advises, in order to avoid cuts. For fellas with high cheekbones, he recommends puffing out your cheeks if you’re nervous. That way, you’ve got... little more room for error.
The Smile is like Icing on the Cake
Sensodyne extra-whitening toothpaste
$6 (Target)
Hardwick likes to wait until the end of his routine to wipe all the gunk out of his beard, so he lets any stray shaving cream hang out until after he’s done brushing his teeth.
Use D-O to stop the B-O
Arm & Hammer deodorant
$20 (Amazon)
A generous portion of deodorant under the arms keeps the body odor away. Follow this up with another round of toner, allows for a more functional, exfoliation of the skin.
