As the weather gets worse, dry patches become flakier from lack of oil and water. Treat these areas with a general purpose moisturizer - nothing too heavy! If your combo skin includes excessively oily patches, you may need to treat these separately. see Oily Skin above for hints.

This one's a no-brainer: dry skin gets drier during the colder months, and can in extreme cases lead to red, scaly, irritated patches. Look for oil-based ingredients in general; specifically, Vitamin E, aloe ferox, glycerin, squalene, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring humectant) are hallmarks of an appropriate seasonal moisturizer for dry skin.

Guys with sensitive skin know that winter is a near-endless litany of pain. UV rays literally bounce up from the snow cover, while the frigid wind and cold claw at your already inflamed mug. Not fun! When selecting a moisturizer, look for anti-redness and anti-inflammatory ingredients like marshmallow extract, chamomile, or St. John's wort. In fact, you may want to opt instead for a razor-burn treatment - a heavier moisturizer with the properties you need to calm the sting.
