The short answer

In winter one cream cannot do every job for men. Face, after shave, lips, and hands and feet all need different things. For the face, by skin type:

• Oily or combination skin: Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser.
• Dry skin: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream For Normal To Dry Skin.
• Razor irritation or sensitive skin: Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream.
• Budget, pocket-sized: Nivea Soft Light Moisturising Cream (25 ml).

For lips, Vaseline Lip Therapy Cocoa Butter; for hands and feet, CeraVe Moisturising Lotion. The full winter routine (what to do and when) is in men’s winter skincare; this post is only about which creams to buy.

Why men need to think about winter separately

For many men, skincare means soap and water. With oily skin in summer that mostly works, but by November the face feels tight, shaving stings, lips crack and the skin on the knuckles splits. A few causes hit men harder:

• Shaving. Each pass of the razor removes a little of the skin’s top layer. In dry winter air that area stings more.
• Washing the face with bath soap. It strips more oil from the face.
• Bikes and open air. Riding through morning fog sends cold air straight onto the cheeks and lips.
• "Cream is for women." A moisturiser only holds water in the skin; it has nothing to do with gender.

Face cream: choose the texture by skin type

Men’s skin tends to be a little oilier, but not everyone’s. A simple test: if your nose and forehead shine an hour after washing in the morning, you are oily or combination; if your face feels tight or shows white flaky patches, you are dry.

Oily or combination skin

Even in winter a heavy cream will feel greasy and may cause breakouts. Choose a light lotion or gel. Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser comes in a large 125 ml tube that lasts the winter at a low price, and it sinks in fast. A pea-sized amount is enough.

Dry skin

If your face feels tight, flakes white on the cheeks, or feels like it creases when you smile, you need a richer cream. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream contains ceramides, which help repair the skin barrier. Use a little more at night.

Razor irritation or sensitive skin

Does your face burn after shaving, break out in red bumps, or make your eyes water when you use aftershave? Drop the alcohol-based aftershave and use a gentle cream. Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream contains panthenol (vitamin B5), which helps keep skin calm. Without fixing your shaving technique, no cream does the whole job; the details are in razor bumps and shaving irritation.

Budget

The 25 ml tub of Nivea Soft Light Moisturising Cream fits in a pocket or bike bag, so you can reapply at lunch when your face feels tight. It works on the face, hands and elbows.

How to apply cream after shaving

1. Before shaving, wet your face with lukewarm water to soften the beard.
2. Shave in the direction the hair grows, and replace blunt blades.
3. After shaving, rinse with cool or room-temperature water and pat dry with a towel.
4. Apply cream while the face is still slightly damp. It stings less and holds water in.
5. If you are going out in the day, put sunscreen on after the cream. Winter sun still burns, especially on a bike or at an outdoor job.

For the lips

Men are often shy about lip balm, but cracked, bleeding lips are more embarrassing. Choose a clear balm:

• Vaseline Lip Therapy Cocoa Butter: affordable, for every day. Apply a thick layer at night.
• Fix Derma Lip Shield SPF50 PA+++: a balm with SPF for bike riders and anyone outdoors for long hours.

Do not lick your lips or peel the flakes. Why balm alone is not enough is explained in how to fix chapped lips.

For hands, feet and body

Ablution, handwashing, fixing a car or bike, cement and sand work: all of it strips oil from the hands. Knuckles and heels crack.

• For hands: CeraVe Moisturising Lotion for Dry to Very Dry Skin. A little after every handwash, more at night.
• For the body and heels: Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin (453 g). A big tub the whole family can share. Apply after a bath while the skin is slightly damp. At night, put a thick layer on cracked heels and sleep in socks.

Common mistakes with men’s winter creams

• Using body lotion on the face. Many body lotions are heavily fragranced and can cause breakouts or stinging on the face. Use a face cream for the face.
• Alcohol-based aftershave. In winter this is a major cause of post-shave burning.
• Once at night only. Dry skin needs cream morning and night.
• Washing the face with hot water. Even if your bath is hot, use lukewarm water on the face.
• Dropping sunscreen in winter. On a bike, at a field job or working on a rooftop, winter sun still burns and darkens skin.

The Bangladesh reality

Morning fog on the bike to work, midday sun at an outdoor job, a room heater at night: in winter a man’s skin handles three kinds of stress in a single day. Put cream on your face and balm on your lips before you leave, and cover your cheeks with a scarf or mask under the helmet. Many areas have hard water, so apply cream straight after washing.

Making sure the product is genuine matters too, especially with popular brands like CeraVe and Cetaphil, which are widely counterfeited. Every product on TheSkinProof is batch-checked against the importer invoice, with 2x money back if proven counterfeit. You can check the batch of a product you own with the free product checker.

When to see a doctor

See a dermatologist if you keep getting painful pus-filled bumps in the beard area, if cracked skin does not improve after two to three weeks of cream, if cracked heels or knuckles bleed or ooze pus, or if a red itchy rash spreads. If you have diabetes, take cracked feet seriously and get them checked.
