Moisturizing regularly is essential for healthy skin. But men often skip this crucial practice, dermatologists say, and it could causes them some unexpected skin problems.
While that may be a generalization (and we all know there are exceptions to the rule), there are also numbers to back it up.

Why Men (And Everyone) Need To Moisturize Regularly
Another thing to note is that shaving can strip the outer layer of the skin, Hartmann said. If you shave too closely, you might experience razor bumps, razor burns or ingrown hairs, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, or AAD. Moisturizing afterward can help repair the skin barrier and prevent some of these problems, Hartmann added.
What Type Of Moisturizer Should You Use?
Beyond that, Hartmann recommended applying daily moisturizers with an SPF of at least 30 to your face and any other sun-exposed areas. In a 2020 survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just 12% of men said they always used sunscreen when outdoors for an hour or more on a sunny day.
If you don’t like thick, heavy or tacky-feeling moisturizers, there are plenty of lighter lotions with sufficient moisturizing benefits, Hartmann said.
And you don’t have to spend a fortune for an effective moisturizer; plenty of inexpensive drugstore products will do the trick. For example, Mark recommended AmLactin’s Daily Nourish Lotion, which contains lactic acid. It moisturizes and exfoliates, and the brand says it’s “non-greasy.” Mark also suggested using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen, which is lightweight.
