SKIN REPORT > Winter Saviors Skin SOS BY ALY WALANSKY survival skills WHEN THE WEATHER GETS COOLER, WE OFTEN FEEL LASTING EFFECTS ON OUR SKIN. COLD CLIMATES WILL WREAK HAVOC ON A FACE THAT IS OFTEN ALREADY IRRITATED BY SHAVING AND OTHER HABITS THAT GUYS MAY PRACTICE EVERY DAY. THE IMPORTANCE OF A ROUTINE If you don’t already have a skincare routine, start by thinking about what your skin is like and what you put it through. Do you shave every day? Do you know your skin type? “If you don’t know what your skin type is, look at it in the afternoon and see what areas may be glistening with oil and what areas may look dry and patchy,” says cosmetology educator Stephanie Johnson (www.hairfacephoto.com). Awareness is key to coming up with a plan. Once you have a plan, it’s important to execute. 8 • <strong>FALL</strong>/WINTER Men, historically, have assumed that beauty or skin care routines should be left to the ladies. That’s far from the truth: Skin is skin, and it needs care. So get over that dated notion and be willing to try new things. If you feel that an entire step-by-step plan may be too cumbersome to take on right away, start with the essentials and grow from there. HEED THE CHANGING SEASONS “Your skin care routine should change as the seasons change,” says Dr. Steven Davis, boardcertified plastic surgeon at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery (www. daviscps.com) in Cherry Hill, N.J. “You’ll want to use moisturizing products in the winter to combat or prevent dry, itchy skin. Ingredients to look out for include hyaluronic acid, which helps lock in moisture; glycerin, which draws moisture to the skin and locks it in; and urea, which causes cells to retain moisture. Although men may not think it’s manly, they should develop a regular skin care routine. Keeping skin clean, moisturized and protected will help prevent unsightly and uncomfortable skin ailments caused by the harsh winter elements.”
Winter Saviors < SKIN REPORT PREPARE FOR THE COLD As our skin tends to be drier during the colder months, dermatologist Dr. David Bank (www. thecenterforderm.com/ physicians/dr-bank) suggests using products with glycolic acid to lock in moisture. And switch your facial cleanser to one with such gentle, non-drying agents as Cetaphil Men Daily Face Wash. EXFOLIATE Don’t forget to exfoliate, even during the winter, to slough off those dead cells caused by the harsh weather. Many products have been engineered to be less irritating and have softer mechanical exfoliators, such as Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin Purifying Exfoliator. Polyhydroxy acids, lactic acid, glycolic acid and citric acid are best for sensitive skin. UP YOUR SHAVING GAME Consider changing your shaving routine by switching to an electric razor — they tend to be less irritating — and skipping the aftershave, most of which are alcohol-based and can be drying and irritating. If you prefer disposable razors, use a good shaving gel, such as Nivea Men Shaving Gel for Sensitive Skin. SHOWER SMARTLY Avoid deodorant soaps and try using gentle cleansers and moisturizing washes (without fragrance), such as Dove Men + Care Body and Face Wash and Nivea Men Moisturizing Face Wash. Follow up your shower with serious hydration, Bank says. That means moisturizing your skin all over every day, preferably while skin is wet. <strong>FALL</strong>/WINTER • 9
