I used to find it extremely difficult finding the best facial moisturizer to suit my skin. My skin is both dry and sensitive, so I struggled to find a moisturizing product that both hydrated my skin so that I didn’t leave the house a flaky skinned mess, while also being gentle enough to not leave my face a red puffy rash.
It’s essential to use a moisturizer post shower and post shave to re-hydrate and restore essential nutrients that are lost in the grooming process.
Depending on your requirements moisturizing face cream can also be great for protecting against UV Rays, reducing the effect of premature wrinkles and giving pasty pale skin a warm colourful glow.
This post will help to guide you through the best facial creams for men’s skin based on your skin type and what you hope to get out of the product.
