Use moisturizing cleansers
Daily cleansing is one of the most important skin care tips for winter. Low temperatures and harsher weather can make your skin extra sensitive, so every winter skin care routine for men needs a body and face wash that doesn’t strip away the moisture that helps protect it.
Try a cleanser that replenishes moisture like Dove Men+Care Hydrating Clean Comfort Body + Face Wash. Infused with plant-based moisturizers and MicroMoisture technology, our hydrating body wash keeps your skin feeling healthy and smooth with 24-hour continuous nourishment.

Dry with care
How to keep your skin from drying out in winter isn’t just about the products you use – rough drying after you shower can also increase skin sensitivity and dryness. Make sure you gently pat yourself dry whenever you step out of the shower. Some dermatology studies also show that patting skin dry instead of rubbing it can help retain more moisture.
3
Moisturize daily
Every time you go outside, pollutants and natural elements like rain, wind and snow strip the skin on your face of its natural oils. If you really want to know how to prevent dry skin in winter, give it the care and protection it needs with a moisturizer like Dove Men+Care Hydrate+ Face Lotion. Its non-greasy formula absorbs quickly to protect dry skin and keep your face hydrated all day.

Try a humidifier
It’s only natural to crank up your heating in winter. While that keeps you nice and warm, it can make the air in your home dry– and do the same to your skin. Humidifiers can play a big role in men’s winter skin care by adding extra moisture to the air, which can help prevent and relieve dryness. Studies also show setting your humidifier at 60% in winter is a great way to replenish some moisture in the top layer of your skin.
