For many people, the intense chill of the winter wind can wreak havoc on the skin. For men, the itch of winter hoods, toboggans, gloves and sweaters can be particularly irritating when you combine the cool of the wind
and winter temperatures with body hair and facial hair. Here are some special winter skin care tips designed with men in mind to help keep our skin looking healthy during the winter months.
One of the most common causes of chapped skin in men during the winter months stems from facial hair interacting with the intensely cool temperatures and intense wind of the winter weather season. One of the best ways I've found for getting around this is to use a little stick deodorant—both under my arms and on my face before heading outdoors during the winter weather. Just as your favorite stick deodorant protects you from sweating during the summer, it also protects your skin from becoming dried and chapped during the winter months. Don't use too much deodorant on the skin of the face, because the deodorant will dry on the face and flake off as the day goes on.
During the winter months, the bane of existence for many men is shaving. Many men are faced with the dilemma of wanting to look neatly groomed, but don't want to shave and go out into the cold on a winter morning. After you shave, instead of splashing on your favorite after shave, use some Vitamin E oil, which can also be found in many moisturizing lotions. The vitamin E oil works greatly to prevent razor burn and the tingly stinging feeling that sometimes comes after shaving before leaving the house on a winter morning. Washing the face after shaving with a mild moisturizing soap also helps to restore the moisture and prevent razor burn and shave itch.
Many men who engage in manual labor jobs during the winter months, even those indoors, also run the risk of skin irritation. For these types of men, aloe vera, either straight from the aloe plant itself, or from a skin moisturizer purchased over the counter, can help to soothe skin irritation caused by being in manual labor and manufacturing industries during the winter months.
