Like women, men too must take care of their skin during the winter season. Why will women take away all the beauty tips and skin care products when men too deserve a share of the same? This post is exclusively for men, men who want to look handsome and retain a glowing skin even during the dry winter months. Take a look at these top 6 tips to avoid dryness:
1. Apply winter care face cream: It is very important to apply specific winter care creams rather than normal face creams. This is because the skin tends to turn dry, dull, and chappy during winter. Winter face creams, better known as cold creams contain ingredients like soya protein, Vitamin E, sunflower oil, that moisturize the skin and give it a firm, healthy and glowing texture.
2. Moisturise the skin regularly: Try to apply moisturiser all over the body after bath and before going off to bed. Moisturise the feet and heels more because these portions of the body have a tendency to turn extremely dry during winter. Opt for a moisturising lotion that is rich in hyaluronic acid or vitamin E.

3. Use a nice 'men's' face wash: Men have the habit of using soap or body wash on their face rather than going for a 'face' wash made purposely for them. Men have a tough, hard and oily skin and daily shaving leads to an exfoliating effect on their faces. So, they should invest in a face wash that is formulated for their hard skin. A mild face wash formulated for women may not give the same result as the one formulated for men.
4. Get a good quality razor for shaving: Choose a razor that works gently on the skin. Most men tend to shave every alternate day, so using a low quality razor may turn the skin rough and dry. As winter leads to a dry skin, men should be more inclined towards using a razor that suit their skin type to avoid dryness.
5. Follow the right shaving rule: The best time to shave is after a hot shower, as the pores remain open at that time. Wipe the face with a hot wet towel before going for a shave. Try to use a winter shaving cream because such creams protect against cuts and moisturise the skin. Shaving creams rich in tea tree oil do wonders during winter. Anti-bacterial tea tree oil protects the skin, nourishes it, soothes skin irritation and removes blemishes. Make a thick velvety lather on the face and then slide the razor gently. This will leave the skin soft and smooth.

6. Use sunscreen: Not only women, men must also use sunscreen. As skin tends to turn more dry and dull during winter compared to the other seasons, it is always a good idea to apply sunscreen few minutes before stepping out of the house.
