Guess what, gentlemen? Taking care of your skin isn’t going to make you any less masculine, and moisturising your face isn’t going to automatically turn you into a woman. In fact, the only thing that’s going to change is your skin – and for all the right reasons.
Moisturising your face isn't going to automatically turn you into a woman
For some reason, men of a certain age tend to think that their skin is untouchable. They assume that, because they may not have wrinkles, spots or rough skin right now, they’ll never experience it in the future. If that’s you, this is where you’re going wrong.

This article isn’t here to lecture you, or to give you an 18-step regime. It’s simply here to state the facts: moisturising your skin on a daily basis will not only ensure that wrinkles are kept at bay, but it will also help repair any damage you’ve already done – before it’s too late.
Your skin is the largest organ in the human body
So, what exactly is the purpose of a moisturiser? First and foremost, it’s there to retain moisture and to keep water evaporating from your skin. Your skin is the largest organ in the human body, and it’s the first line of defence that we have to fight against disease and infection. So, it makes sense to take care of it.
Whether or not you think you have dry skin, you still need to ensure that you’re including it in your daily routine – starting from now. Make things easy on yourself and keep it simple, in general men need a much simpler routine than women and if you over-complicate things too quickly, you’re only going to make things worse for yourself.
Pick something light and simple, make sure that it’s going to work well with your skin type, and we guarantee that you’ll see results after as little as 2 weeks. Watch this space, gentlemen, and get moisturising.
