Factors to Consider While Choosing a Best Face Moisturiser for Men

Choosing the right face moisturiser can be the key to the overall appearance and health of your facial skin. Here are some things that you must keep in mind while choosing the right men's face moisturiser for yourself:

• Determine your skin type: Our skin can be categorised into four types - normal, dry, oily, and combination. It is important to know which one is your skin type before selecting a moisturiser.

• Look for key ingredients: Different moisturisers have different formulations and ingredients that target specific skin types. For instance, if you have oily skin, look for a moisturiser that is light and non-sticky, like Pond's Men Oil Control Face Creme, With Vitamin B3+.

• Check the texture: A moisturiser's texture can also make a difference based on your skin type. For instance, if you have oily skin, you may prefer a moisturiser with a gel-like texture, like Pond's Men Ice Burst Face Gel, With Menthol Vitamin E.

• Look for SPF: If you intend to use your moisturiser during the day, it is ideal to use one that contains SPF, like Pond's Men Daily Defence SPF 30 Face Creme, which will help protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

• Do a patch test: Before you commit to a new men's face moisturiser, it is always recommended to try out a small amount on your skin to ensure that it doesn't cause any adverse reactions or breakouts.

Gentlemen, it's time to include a face moisturiser in your skincare routine. This will not only help your skin look flawless now but will also help you in preventing early signs of ageing.
