A face cream might just be the most powerful weapon in your skincare arsenal, particularly in the colder months. Cold weather in particular, alongside a raft of other environmental and genetic factors, cause moisture to be stripped from the skin cells throughout the day. This leaves your skin dry, patchy and often much more vulnerable to blemishes and outbreaks as a result. If this affects you, its simply a reality that you’ll have to replenish this lost moisture or face the problems becoming much worse.
Face creams are not just for those with dry skin, however. Moisturising is an extremely effective way to protect your skin from environmental aggressors, as well as plumping and firming skin cells to fight the signs of ageing.
If you’re in the market for a new face moisturiser, in this blog post, we’re taking you through the best face cream for men.
