Flakiness, Dryness and Dullness: An Expert Guide to Winter Skincare

Well I suppose I should introduce myself! I’m Thom, a beauty writer and  the creator of Manface.co.uk. I’ve been living inside the beauty industry for the past 5 years, working for some of the world’s biggest brands. I firmly believe that skin health is paramount and something us guys often overlook. So what does skin health mean? Skin types? Hydrators? Serums? It really is a jungle out there and is often difficult to know where to turn, but getting the basics right is important, and knowing your skin type is key.

Now skin types are very different from skin concerns, a skin concern relates to problems such as eczema, acne, blocked pores, dark marks etc. Your skin type relates to how much oil and water is present and guides you into knowing what needs to be added or taken away. This week, as we start to drift into colder seasons (did we ever leave them?), we’ll look at Very Dry / Dry skin – what it is, what it does, why it does it, and how to look after it.
