Boysturiser?

mefty, not a troll. Just genuinely interested to hear what the guys are using. I find iDave and TSY’s replies insightful. I guess they’d put themselves up there as real men. I like that. I’m impressed with them. As ever.

Dry skin sufferer here. I use Neutrogena. Works for me.

great big tub of epaderm 3 in 1 emollient (same as double base?). I get a bit of excema, sorts it out. I also use it on my weary bicycling buttocks and it works a treat.

Nivea Aftershave Balm 😀

Clarins here. Works well, as does their excellent Jeunesse des Mains hand cream.

Been using Men’s Science daily moisturiser for the past 6
Months best thing I’ve used got some liz Earle as a freebie
It was not bad didn’t get on with clinique or nivea

Jeez! just been reading a thread where a guy is getting slated for wanting to wear knee pads for xc! And here you are discussing bloody moisturiser for men?????

It’s a crazy mixed up contradiction of a site this!

And that’s what makes it

Makes it what? lol

Well in that case, if I have some to hand, no pun intended, Nutregena Hand Cream for when my hands are cracking, but as this is essentially Vaseline with a bit extra, Vaseline suffices. Face – water – although I have some stuff that was a freebie at some function. Like my aftershave, it is never used.

oxboy: umm, I wouldn’t slate Duane for riding xc with kneepads. his idea of xc is vastly different to stw’s middle aged idea of xc!

I really don’t think it has anything to do with trying to be macho, but I’ve somehow managed to survive for 30 years without using moisturiser (apart from after getting sunburned).

can you sell your face as prime hardened leather grum or are you just normal, considering we live in a boring climate of little sun
🙁

I also use it on my weary bicycling buttocks and it works a treat.

Sweet Jesus I did not need to know that. 😯

Cheapo basic stuff from LiDLs for me. 😀 Most moisturisers are essentially the same anyway, just ponced up with perfumes, colourings and fancy packaging. The basic ingredients are often just simple stuff like liquid paraffin and glycerine.

I use a moisturiser cos swimming dries my skin out a lot, which makes it feel uncomfortable, but yeah, it is pretty much a vanity product unless you have some sort of dermatological condition as Kevevs mentions.

Simple light on t’face, Palmers cocoa concentrate dans le hands. Rough with the smooth.

that does sound very nice. I can’t wait till we all meet up.

**** me you lot care about this…….

Most important thing for good skin is to get a good night’s sleep.

stuff that doesn’t make me feel cold. roll on central heating…

Surprised no one has mentioned Boots No7 yet. I use their anti-aging(!) SPF15 stuff because I am a soft southern poofter and a bit vain. And because it’s cheaper than the Clinique stuff I used to use.
