What are the best anti-ageing moisturisers for men?

Moisturising should be part of any man’s skincare routine for a number of reasons, and if you’re not already in the habit of regularly topping up your skin’s hydration levels, then you’re definitely missing a trick. Not only do moisturisers replenish tired skin, they help to boost the skin’s natural barrier function, protecting it from pollutants, as well as the bacteria that cause blemishes. A light application in the morning is a quick and easy job, nor is incorporating a night cream into your bedtime regime a particularly demanding task, and both come with huge benefits.

Anti-ageing moisturisers don’t often figure heavily in younger men’s concerns for obvious reasons: you never see ageing coming. But in truth, the early stages of skin ageing are likely to already be in effect by your mid-twenties. Switching up your skincare routine to include a specifically anti-ageing moisturiser in place of a standard product is a simple and effective way to make sure you’re safeguarding against skin ageing, and getting into the habit as a younger man will ensure you reap the maximum benefits.

There are a few approaches that anti-ageing skincare products can take, and it’s necessary to consider all of them in order to best tailor your routine to your lifestyle. In this post, we’re breaking down some of the best anti-ageing moisturisers for men, and how you can incorporate them into your routine.
