The Importance Of Moisturising In Men’s Skin Care Health
A moisturising skin care routine may not sound like the manliest thing, but even the mightiest of men are vulnerable to the negative effects cold winter weather, sun exposure, frequent washing and shaving can have on your skin. These and other factors such as harsh soaps and scrubbing too hard when bathing, strip the moisture from your skin which then causes dry skin.
In addition to dry skin, a loss of moisture can also result in heightened skin sensitivity. Both dry and sensitive skin can result in peeling, cracking, itchiness, or the skin breaking-out. So, if you want to keep your rugged good looks in top shape, moisturising for men must be the foundation of your men skin care routine.
Why Men Need To Moisturise Skin
A good moisturising routine is essential to men's skin health:
- To prevent and address skin dryness, irritation and inflammation
- To fortify the skin barrier - strengthening your skin
- To lock in and retain your skin’s moisture levels
- To help you cope with the effects of shaving
