Keeping skin soft and healthy during winter months can be a challenge even for regular spa clients, but it’s harder for the many men who would rather keep their facials and exfoliating treatments to a minimum.

Simple morning skin care regimen can help keep your complexion from flaking or cracking during cold dry winters. The first step is to start with a clean face ever morning using a cleanser that contains glycolic acid, which experts says has natural exfoliating qualities.

The highest ranked (best) foam facial cleanser is the La Prairie which scored very well for cleaning during recent product testing. Generally, the facial cleanser helps removed dead skin cells and dirt which makes for an easier shave, and spa consultants seem to consider shaving in the showers a better option because the steam softens the beard and hairs and making it easier to get a clean shave with less razor burn. Another tip is to use a non foaming cream or gel. The more air that you have in the foam, the harder it is for the blade to get close to the skin. Seek out shaving creams or gels with aloe vera beads that break as you shave dispersing moisturizer during the process. After shaving,  a mans face could use an astringent toner that has low alcohol content for less drying and includes ingredients for such as chamomile or calendula that are hydrating for the skin. Other key ingredients to look for are Aloe Vera and wheat germ in moisturizers and should be applied after the toner. At the end, dabs of a light cream with super moisturizing ingredient like shea butter around the eyes where the skin is most sensitive. This skin care routine at night is simpler he typically splashes water on his face to clean it, and then uses a high performance moisturizer as a night cream.

Two or more nights during winter, it is recommended to use an exfoliater in place of a regular cleanser in order to do a more thorough job of getting rid of dry skin. It may be uneccessary to have hydrating facials during the winter if you are using products consistently and effectively. You are essentially doing the same thing that facials are doing but every day.
