Winter can play havoc with our skin - especially in UK climes when it can be mild one day and below zero the next; not to mention central heating drying out the air around us. All of these factors can be a recipe for dry and dull skin. Our curated selection of winter skincare for men includes routine essentials that will keep your skin nourished and hydrated from AM to PM, whatever the weather. Discover oil-infused moisturisers from natural brands like Aesop, Haeckels and Pelegrims, chapped-lipped treatments from Jack Black, hand creams from Skin Generics, and much more.

What are the effects of cold weather on the skin?

Cold weather can affect the skin in a variety of ways, leaving it vulnerable and more susceptible to damage, especially if your skin is particularly sensitive. Harsh winter winds, snow and icy temperatures can lead to common issues such as:

Dry, rough patches and cracked skin
Flare-ups with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis
Redness and irritation
Acne breakouts due to excess sebum production triggered by a lack of moisture
Itchiness, flakiness and tightness
A dull and lifeless appearance caused by reduced defence against free radicals
Trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) - cold weather causes moisture in the skin to evaporate, which leads to a breakdown in skin barrier function

How to winter-proof your skincare routine

When the temperature outside drops, our skin can suffer from irritation, redness, dryness, and cold weather itchy skin, which can lead to breakouts and sensitivity. Making a few small changes to your usual routine will help your skin stay protected and healthy as the colder days creep in.

To help you amp up your defence against the cold this season, we've put together the following tips to winter-proof your routine, no matter your skin type:

Antioxidants are your friend

Look for ingredients that are rich in essential vitamins, such as Niacinimide (B3), C and E, that help to safeguard the skin's cells from damage. Winter skin heroes such as Haeckels Eco Hand Balm and John Masters Organics Concentrate Lotion With Pomegranate & Lily are high in antioxidants and deliver that extra layer of protection.

Hydration is key

Moisture magnets like Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter and essential oils will replenish moisture loss and boost elasticity, reviving dull skin and strengthening its structure to bring out a natural radiance and smooth fine lines. Switching to a richer moisturiser at night, such as SBTRCT Rejuvenating Night Balm, investing in an oil-enriched serum, and using a moisturising cleanser should be essential steps in every man's winter skincare routine.

Don't neglect lips & hands

Lips balms and hand creams are skin saviours for chapped and coarse skin. Our range includes protective anti-pollution hand creams, vegan-friendly formulas, as well as pocket-size scented essentials for on-the-go moisturisation.
