Are there any blokes on here that moisturise?

[flyingjase]

I’m posting on here rather the Longue to avoid a tirade of abuse. I know it’s rather a “ghey” question but I’ve reached that age where I’m starting to get wrinkles on my face and to honest I don’t like it. I was thinking of getting a face moisturiser to make me feel young again.

Any recommendations, or am I just kidding myself??

Nowt gay about wanting to look good for the ladies, the boots No7 protect and perfect comes highly regarded, I use clarins myself, depends on type of skin really, go to a decent department store and speak to the nice ladies.

[Morba]

Just accept it, like going bald or grey

I do moisturise, but thats due to dry skin more than age.

[parapaul]

Yep. Every day after shaving.

Nivea for men's sensitive skin stuff is great, as is the King of Shaves stuff

Yes, nothing gay about banging hot chicks.

The ones on PH who say it's gay are usually the beardy types who haven't had an clunge for 10 years.

now't wrong with a bit of lube now and again ......

not what you meant??

On my hands in winter, (dry skin), and my face and cock / balls after shaving.

Thanks all - will pop to Boots at lunchtime

Bit too much info here though!

and cock / balls after shaving.

Too much information

I quite like the idea of wrinkles, I'm far away from that point yet mind, but as a result I don't moisturise my hands or face. I do however lightly moisturise the other bits after shaving, once a week or so, but this is partly due to the fact that I use a straight razor for everything, so occasionally have to put up with some irritation if I don't have the time to get it done carefully.
And yes, cuts do occur , but not really worse than with any other razor

I moisturise my head and face after shaving (I have a totally shaved head!)

If I don't, my head goes really dry and flakey.

There's nothing gay about moisturising, just as there's nothing manly about having bad skin! It really helps if you shave regularly.

I'm not sure it'd help with wrinkles though to be honest, but console yourself that most women like a man to look more mature. I've looked young for my age for most of my life and women didn't take an interest in me at all until I got into my 30s! Once I go grey and wrinkly I'll be fighting em off!

I use the Nivea for men shaving stuff and moisturiser and would recommend it. Everyone's skin's different though, so just experiment.

I've always moisturised after showering as otherwise my skin gets really dry. It has never made me want to anally penetrate another man, funnily enough.

I've used Clinique, Clarins, and lots of other stuff but Nivea seems to offer the best balance of quality and price. Have a look at that Q10 stuff, might be good for wrinkles. I wouldn't worry to much though.

• Takes note of all those that moisturise*

Seriously, I have dry skin and have to moisturise, always have had to.
Go for stuff that works, not the brands that spend all your money on telling you it works.

I do, I use the Simple Hydration stuff - does the job for me.

Now, for another can of worms, who also exfoliates?

Just using a Nivea facewash that has exfoliating particles though, nothing fancy.

[Six Fiend]

Nivea facewash and exfoliating wash

King of Shaves shaving gel

Aveno moisturiser - really really good, doesn't stay greasy and has no pong. Use on face, head etc

I have more "cosmetics" than my girlfriend. Don't be ashamed because we are worth it to!

[TuxRacer]

WTF is going on in here?!

Vim and 10W40 is sufficient for me.
