### Skin Care for Men: What You Need to Know #### Soaps Many men prefer bar soaps over liquid cleansers, and for most, bars are fine. However, if you have very dry skin, consider using a liquid cleanser. The appearance and scent of the soap often matter to men, but most products work equally well for the skin. #### Moisturizers If your skin is naturally oily, you might skip moisturizers. But for dry skin, a moisturizer can be beneficial. You can use a moisturizing shower bar or cleanser, or try shower lotions and emollients that you apply and rinse off in the shower. Focus on areas that typically dry out, like elbows, knees, shoulders, and lower legs. Moisturizing your legs is particularly important to prevent conditions like eczema and chronic dry skin. #### Deodorants Men sweat more than women, leading to underarm odor. Standard deodorants work for some, but if you have excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), consider clinical-strength deodorants. Applying deodorant at night can provide better protection during the day. For severe cases, Botox injections or upcoming topical creams with Botox may help. #### Tattoo Care Keep the skin around a new tattoo moisturized, especially in the first few weeks. Regular use of sunscreen can prevent the ink from fading. If you want to remove a tattoo, consult a dermatologist instead of using ineffective and potentially irritating removal creams. #### Jock Itch This red, itchy rash can affect the groin, buttocks, and inner thighs, often due to sweating. Use antifungal powders or sprays and ensure you shower and dry off thoroughly after workouts. Wearing loose-fitting boxers can also help prevent jock itch.
