5 Best Moisturizers for Men

This basic skin care step is a necessity for everyone.
October 28, 2022


It’s easy to get caught up in marketing and beauty stereotypes that lead you to assume that moisturizer is only a skin care necessity for women, but men also benefit from using this essential. Like it or not, if you fail to moisturize your skin every day, you run the risk of ending up with dull, dry skin, irritation and may even notice signs of aging developing at a rapid rate. 


We’re not saying you need a 12-step routine but this basic, skin care essential is a must-have for everyone, regardless of gender, skin type, skin tone or anything else. The tricky part is that with so many face moisturizers on the market to choose from, choosing the right one can feel like an extreme sport. Remember, a good moisturizer that works for women can also be a good moisturizer that works for men. Focus on finding one that provides your skin with long-lasting hydration and can protect your complexion from irritation — bonus points if it includes SPF. 


To help you take the guesswork out of finding the best moisturizer for your skin, check out our list of the best face creams for men below.
