No woman wants her man to spend more time than she does in the primping department. But that mean you can call it a day after a quick shower.

Good grooming requires a tad more effort than that. Style expert Lloyd Boston Over Your Man: The Guide to Dressing Any Man in Her Broadway Books, $29.95) gives these tips for daily maintenance that will keep you clean and conditioned: Start with good skin care. Wash your face twice a day, morning and before bed. Once more if you work out in between. Choose the right product for your skin type.

A drug store brand can be just as effective as a pricier product, so be dazzled by packaging. Toners, astringents. Use a toner or astringent if you have oily skin. splash it on as if it were after-shave; apply it with a cotton pad. Moisturizers.

Men are some- times intimidated by moisturizers and understand the difference between a lotion for the face and another for the body. Facial moisturiz- ers are formulated not to clog pores and to penetrate the finer texture of complexions. Use one with a sun protection factor during the day if outdoors a lot. Test a few, and change it with the seasons. Some- thing lighter for spring, creamier for winter.

Blemishes. pop or squeeze pimples. It can lead to scarring, discoloration and inflamma- tion. Dab on a product meant to zap the zit, and leave it alone. Shaving.

For a good wet-shave, do the deed just after a shower when the hot steam has softened skin. Use a shaving cream, never bathing soap, which can irritate both the skin and dull the razor. Choose a quality razor for a close shave. Rinse your face with cold water afterward to close the pores, and apply an alcohol-free after-shave balm or moisturizing gel. Men with coarse beards need to take extra precaution against ingrown hairs, which can turn into cysts.

Fragrances. A light touch, please. Spritz a little cologne on bare neck, back, chest or arms. Make sure the scent clash with your shampoo or deodorant. If you smell it, probably enough.
