How often should men moisturise?

Do you often look in the mirror and notice your skin looking tired, dull, or dry? This is a common problem that men face no matter the time of year, but easily solved by including a moisturiser into your daily grooming regime.

Well, the simple answer is every day! We recommend that you clean and moisturise your face, at least twice a day. Ideally once in the morning, and again at night. This will make sure that you your pores are clean from any nasties, and that your skin is kept well-hydrated.

There are various moisturisers to choose from, so the first step is identifying what your skin concerns are and investing in a moisturiser that will address them.

The main benefit of using moisturiser is that it helps restore dry skin and supports normal dermal functions such as exfoliation, excretion, and elimination of oil and dirt. Look for a men’s moisturiser that is an all-rounder, such as The Grey 3 in 1 Face Cream which is suitable for all skin types, day and night, and also acts as an eye cream. This ultra-hydrating cream will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and will visibly firm the skin.

Men that have oily skin usually suffer from more breakouts and tend to use a cleanser more often to dry out the skin, without adding moisturiser to their grooming routine. If you do this, it is time to stop, as drying out your skin only encourages the skin to produce more oil to try and balance out the skin’s sebum production. Applying a moisturiser after using a face wash will rebalance the skin and prevent breakouts. Consider Baxter of California’s Oil Free Men’s Moisturiser with SPF, it is suitable for all skin types, and ideal for those with oily skin.

Using an anti-ageing moisturiser with active ingredients daily helps maintain a youthful appearance and slows down the ageing process (to a point). You’re not Thor. Skin that lacks in moisture tends to show more signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Using an anti-ageing moisturiser, such as Jaxon Lane Relax & Repair, supports healthy skin that looks fuller and results in a brighter complexion.
