How can I describe an aesthetically pleasing man? Aesthetically pleasing in manly way
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?

Other words/phrases you can use: amazing, gorgeous, flawless, perfect, heart melting. I think you can use handsome in a sentence. I've seen it used before in sentences.

With some words it's ok to use handsome: handsome face, handsome body, handsome figure, handsome look...
But beautiful in some cases sounds more natural and better: beautiful muscles, beautiful hair, beautiful eyes.
Handsome is usually used when speaking about the whole appearance of a man.
Beautiful is used when speaking about body parts.
For example: He is a very handsome man. He has beautiful hair, beautiful eyes, beautiful face and beautiful muscles.
