male moisturiser

just searched and there hasn't been a thread about moisturiser for a long time it seems, so i thought i'd make one, mainly for guys...

so, uh, do you use any? i have terrible acne prone skin that gets painfully dry instantly when washed, then gets greasy about an hour later. I use king of shaves 24|8 face cream, which is cheap, works, and doesn't cause instant spots. ooh, it's good. maybe it will stop me getting wrinkles too.

use nivea for men, the sensitive version of the after shave balm, worked for me the whole time and had basically cured any of the rashes that you can get if you let facial hair grow too much

Cocoa Butter is the best probably.

its good to get an alcohol free one because otherwise that can dessicate the skin, so big negative.
my ex used johnson/johnson...made his skin baby soft and oh-so-sexy-smooth

i'll only occasionally use moisturiser because i feel sometimes it itches like a B***ard, the one i use is charles worthington or something, and the nivea for men balm stuff is v.good like someone mentioned.

i rub olive oil into my fur...it keeps it soft & manageable
Are you using for your face? If so then use Nivea. If you're using it for other activities I suggest one which will provide prolonged lubrication, like neutrogena, or use a dedicated lubricant.
After all, what else would a guy want moisturiser for? :biggrin:
Biotherm Homme moisturisers rule all.. Okay.. so do the Clinique men ones ..
Nivea for men rules, even I use it. :wink:
