Dry skin is lacking in oil, frequently appears visibly tired or dull, and has a rough texture. Dry skin may also be scaly, flaky or cracked and show signs of dry lines and/or redness. If skin feels tight or taut, you may have dry skin that could benefit from a nourishing skincare routine that includes a lightweight moisturizer for men.

Men can care for dry skin by seeking out nourishing formulas to help replenish moisture balance. Beyond establishing a skincare routine for dry skin, protecting skin from external aggressors — like UV rays and pollution — is a daily must, so always apply SPF during the daytime.

Men with dry skin should use a gentle cleanser followed by an alcohol-free toner. In addition to a daily moisturizer, a hydrating serum, facial oil or beard oil may also benefit dry skin. Men can afterwards apply sunscreen or opt for a moisturizer with SPF, a non-negotiable to help protect skin from damaging UV rays. And finally, men can give skin a boost by applying a hydrating mask several times a week.
