At school I was told that aesthetically pleasing woman is beautiful, just nice-looking woman is pretty, aesthetically pleasing man is handsome, just nice-looking man is good-looking. So beautiful and handsome are better than pretty and good-looking.

When speaking about a woman I can say: beautiful face, beautiful skin, beautiful hair, beautiful eyes, beautiful legs, she is as beautiful as a flower.

When speaking about a man should I say: handsome face, handsome muscles, handsome hair, handsome eyes, handsome legs? I read that handsome can't be used in such sentences. So if not, what should I use in these case meaning aesthetically pleasing male face, aesthetically pleasing muscles, legs and so on?

Can I say He is as handsome as the sunrise or should I use another adjective?
