We’ ve officially entered everyone’s favourite season – Fall! Now that fall is upon us the weather will gradually start to get cooler which means dry skin will crop up, from your face to your elbows and feet too.
So, what can be done to avoid this dry skin? The answer is…..plenty!
Below are quick hacks for you guys to get that soft and moist skin. FYI, many of the suggestions can also be used in winter.
Let’s jump right in:
1 MOISTURIZE TWICE A DAY
As the temperatures begin to dip, you may start to notice dry skin patches. To prevent this, consider moisturizing your skin twice a day.
The best time to do this is first in the morning, right after showering, and then again at night before bed.

2 DON’T FORGET YOUR SUNBLOCK
You should always apply a skin protector when going out in the daytime. Just because it’s cooler outside and it’s not as sunny doesn’t mean it’s ok to skip sunblock. It should be a rule of thumb, anytime you head outdoors, apply any kind of skin protector for stay away from skin damage.
The best and in-budget sunscreen is Neutrogena’s Sunscreen Lightweight dry-touch, SPF 45. You can get this one in any drug store. Isn’t that convenient?!

5 APPLY A FACE MASK
If you have dry skin, you can do a lot to help yourself during fall by applying a face mask. Doing so will help lock in moisture and clear out pores.
Face masks help keep your skin fresh and young. We have been using them for years and think they are simply amazing! It’s perfect for your self-care days when you want to give your skin some extra TL.

4 FOCUS ON THE NECK
The final fall tip is to focus on the neck, the reason is simple- most men only focus on their face when washing and moisturizing their skin. The neck, however, is left abandoned.
That’s a shame because it’s one of the first places to show visible signs of aging. Make sure to cleanse and moisturise your neck too and apply product in an upward direction. It’s a good way to keep those signs of aging at bay.
These are our go-to tips that we recommend this season. We hope you liked them!
