Can't decide which moisturizer's best for your face during the colder, drier winter months? Our guide can help.
Oily Skin: Acidic moisturizers help to control sebum production.

As temperature and humidity levels dip, oilier skin types can become dehydrated - that is, lacking in water, not oil. Moisturizers with glycolic and/or salicylic acids will promote water retention while regulating your skin's sebum production.

We recommend:
California North Action Moisturizer 8 oz
 
MenScience Advanced Face Lotion
 
Jack Black Line Smoother Moisturizer
 

Combination Skin: General purpose moisturizers to treat dry, flaky patches.

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.

We recommend:
Anthony Logistics All Purpose Moisturizer
 
MENSGROOM Daily Defender Moisturizer
 
Appellation Grapeseed Moisturizer
 
Sharps Daily Prep Tuning Lotion
 

Dry Skin: Look for heavier ingredients like squalene, glycerin or shea butter.

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.

We recommend:
African Male by MenEssentials Moisturizing Cream
 
Urth Face Balm SPF 15 with White Tea & Vitamins C-D-A
 
Baxter of California Super Shape SPF 15
 
Anthony Logistics Vitamin C Serum
 

Sensitive Skin: Protect with anti-inflammatory, SPF-enhanced creams.

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.

We recommend:
Urth Face Balm SPF 15 with White Tea & Vitamins C-D-A
 
Sharps Daily Prep Oil Free Lotion SPF 15
 
Anthony Logistics Razor Burn Repair
 
Menaji Moisturizing Aftershave
