The Ultimate Cleanser for Men this Winter
Despite upcoming festivities, men with sensitive skin may be dreading the approach of the colder months, as they know all too well that their skin could be in for a bad time. The common pitfalls like having sensitive skin while shaving can make the whole process of men’s skincare all the more difficult. You don’t want to be forced inside this festive season because of the cold. Thankfully, there are some things that can be done. Finding the right skincare products will provide the greatest results and help you protect your skin throughout the winter.
In case you’re wondering what sensitive skin means, it refers to stinging and burning of the skin after using self-care products, but can also be affected by the weather. Cold weather comes with dry air and low humidity levels. This can essentially suck the moisture from the skin which can result in it feeling dry, cracked and irritated without the proper care. Luckily, keeping hydrated inside and out helps keep your skin fresh.
You may also want to look into getting a milder washing detergent if your skin gets rather sensitive. This can make your clothes and bed sheets less abrasive and cause a reduced amount of irritation. It’s also incredibly important to make sure you're looking after yourself over the winter season. Typically, as the daylight hours fade and the cold draws in it can be difficult to not get under the weather and self-care might also go out the window. Making sure to take some time out just for yourself and to relax can make the world of difference when it comes to your skin.
The Importance of Using the Right Skincare Products
Ultimately, making sure you're applying the right ingredients directly to your skin can have the most drastic effect when it comes to protecting it from the cold weather. One of the biggest difficulties when trying to stick to a healthy skincare routine is finding the right men’s cleanser, as often, many products can be quite abrasive on the skin.
You certainly don’t want to be using a product that leaves your skin in a worse condition than before usage. Dermatologists will all tell you the importance of cleansing, indeed it is one of the most important steps in a skincare routine aside from perhaps wearing sunscreen every single day, especially in the winter. Daily scrubbing helps to scrub out dirt and oil, and helps to hydrate the skin when used with a moisturizer. Unfortunately, this may not always be the case for those who have sensitive skin. At times, sensitive skin has a tendency to get sore, flare-up, or get flaky after scrubbing. The problem with many of these cleansers is that they are packed full of harsh and harmful ingredients that aren’t used with sensitive skin in mind.
The use of products which don’t keep sensitive skin in mind can then disrupt the skin barrier which may lead to microscopic cracks, inflammation, and dehydration. If you happen to be someone who falls into this category, then you should already be looking out for men’s face wash for sensitive skin, such as the Obagi Gentle Cleanser. Sticking to soap-free cleansers is a good starting point as soap does in fact tend to be harsh and dehydrating. Luckily, Obagi has made the perfect men’s cleanser for sensitive skin to be used over the dry winter months and to keep your skin feeling fresh and comfortable.

The Mild facial cleanser one offer from Obagi is proven to gently remove impurities and oil from your skin and leave it feeling light and smooth. The Obagi Gentle Cleanser can be used daily and will quickly have a visibly positive effect on your skin. The Obagi Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser has been formulated specifically for dry or sensitive skin to help eliminate oil, dirt, and other debris so the skin is primed for the next step in your skincare routine.
This should be the first step in your daily regimen over 2022, especially during the harsh winter months. When paired with other complementary products in the Obagi Nu-Derm range, the results will be even better.
In short, the mild facial cleanser is designed to:
Hydrate and balance dry and itchy skin.

All that needs to be done is to apply it to a wet face, rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat dry. You should avoid rubbing the skin with a towel and take care when washing so as not to disturb the skin too much. And that’s all there is to it!
So, if you are worried about the state of your skin for the next few months, do yourself a favour and try to make any lifestyle changes that may benefit your skin. But most importantly, use the right cleanser!
