The best moisturiser for men locks in moisture & slows down ageing, from brands including Tom Ford, Elemis, and Clinique.
The best moisturiser for men does it all, from locking in moisture to slowing down signs of ageing.
Our skin’s abilities never cease to amaze us. We can gain weight and watch it stretch, lose said weight and watch it revert back to normal. It protects itself in the face of UV damage (tanning) and has the natural ability to retain moisture. However, as you get older, a number of factors cause your skin to slowly deteriorate, and as the ageing process sets in it needs a helping hand to retain its elasticity and youthful appearance. That's why you need one of these best moisturisers.
Moisturiser acts as a protective barrier on your skin’s surface. It locks in the moisture that would otherwise evaporate continuously from your skin and speed up the ageing process.
When we wash our faces, we not only strip our skin of the dirt build-up, we strip it of its natural oils. Queue a replenishing moisturiser, and while you're at it, also check out our guide to the best men’s eye cream, and, while you're upgrading your grooming routine, why don't you upgrade your fragrance game with the best men’s fragrances and colognes as well.
There’s nothing worse than the tight feeling of dry skin. It’s itchy, irritable and looks scaly. If you’re displaying these symptoms you need something to quench its thirst and thwart further moisture loss.
Make sure you’re using a decent face wash and not a bar of soap (or body wash for that matter). You’ll need to be more vigilant when it comes to sun exposure and excessive boozing too – are we sounding like your parents?!
Noticing fine lines and wrinkles is extremely common as you get older, but no matter what people say, there are ways to slow down the process. Look for products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and collagen to help rejuvenate skin and keep it looking plump.
