Dehydrated skin is one of the most common men’s skin problems. The redness, tightness and flakiness associated with dry skin can dramatically affect your skin’s appearance. To prevent and get rid of dehydrated skin, we’ve collected some skincare tips to help restore moisture levels. Use these suggestions to help get dehydrated skin under control.
1. Apply MenScience face and body moisturizers at least once a day. Both MenScience Advanced Face Lotion and MenScience Advanced Body Lotion contain dermatological-grade hypermoisturizers like hyaluronic acid to help increase your skin’s elasticity and balance moisture levels for healthy-looking skin.

2. Use a retinol-based anti-aging cream daily.

3. Apply a hydrating face mask once a week. MenScience Facial Cleansing Mask can help manage dehydrated skin as well as absorb impurities that can clog pores and cause acne breakouts.

4. Help protect your skin from the elements. Weather plays a huge role in your skin health. Without the right safeguards, your skin can fall prey to extreme weather conditions. If you live in a hot, humid climate, wear a broad-spectrum sunblock like MenScience TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 to reduce your risk of sunburn, age spots and other sun-related skin damage. If you live in a colder climate, wear layers to keep your skin from drying it. “How to Help Protect Your Skin” has more tips on taking care of your skin.
5. Take showers with lukewarm or cold water. The occasional hot shower won’t do much harm, but repeated exposure can dry out your skin and lead to irritation and dryness. Limit hot showers whenever possible to help your skin retain moisture, and use high-quality liquid cleansers designed for men’s skin instead of mass-market soaps. A lot of mass-market soaps can actually dry out your skin, so stick to MenScience Daily Face Wash and MenScience Daily Body Wash for cleansing purposes.
6. Drink enough water. Sometimes, dehydrated skin can be a result of not getting enough water in your diet. Experts used to recommend eight glasses a day but now the recommendation is in the 11-13 glass range. You don’t need to drink that many glasses of water, though – fruits and vegetables can also help count toward that goal. “9 Hydration Tips for Men” has advice on preventing skin dehydration.
