10 years down the line I dont wanna be regretting ma skin


I assume you are around 18. If your skin is ****** in ten years time you've clearly been doing something wrong.
Nivea have a specifically catered range for men. I recommend that.

ALL MEN SHOULD MOISTURISE.

Vaseline or Nivea for men.

You could probably get away with wearing womens moisturising lotion and it smells better too.

Bull semen works wonders for the skin (no joke, I think there's some scientific evidence). Best of luck getting your hands on some.

surely if you're extracting it, getting it on your hands comes with the extraction process

It depends on what skin type you have really. If you have oily skin that is or isn't acne prone then you should look for a non comedogenic moisturizer that is for men such as one from the anthony logistics or dermalogica range, but if you have dry skin then you should look to buy a thicker cream for dry skin such as the nivea in a blue pot, though this is better to apply at night as it can create an oily shine if worn in the day. I would tend to go for the more expensive products but that is entirely up to you though it has always been money well spent for me. And if you are lucky and have normal skin then any standard moisturizer will do

My boy swears by Clarins and he has amazing skin (you never would have thought that he used to get loads of spots).

Wow you know your stuff about creams. Well my skins dry however often I get spot that is probably my own fault due to a poor diet because when I was working on a ranch where vegatables was a main source of my diet I had no breakouts. After hearing this which one would you recommend now?

It sounds like you have combination skin which is oily-t-zones (nose, chin and foreheard) and all dry area on the rest of the face. You need a moisturizer for combination skin to balance out the skin.
Can I recommend you to try the Dermalogica Normal/Oily skin kit as this has the moisturizer and everything else you need for perfect skin

^^ Yes, you absolutely should be using a moisturiser on top of this. However, I think it's a bit foolhardy of Indigo to recommend ANY moisturiser as guaranteeing perfect skin after use, as no product carries such a guarantee.
Okay Nivea for men and the other stuff being mentioned so far is very entry level, good moisturisers are below

the premuim brand stuff like, Anthony Logistics, Biothermme Homme, Lab series and Zirh may be a little more pricey, but the higher quality ingredients and research gone into the product produces impressively better results than the off the shelf moisturisers you find in wilko and superdrug

just my 2 cents...

I use t-tree oil which drys the skin and leaves a fragrance on the skin should I still use moisterizers on top of this.

Yes, you should always moisturize as it is very beneficial for your skin.http://www.mankind.co.uk/Anthony-Logistics-All-Purpose-Facial-Moisturiser-70gm-PRODALSM1/ although expensive try this
