La Roche Posay is a widely recommended skin care line and it’s versatile enough to suit the needs of both women and men. Just like women’s skin, men’s skin can be suffer damage from seasonal conditions. From over dry heating in stuffy offices to faces being blasted by freezing wind and rain, a man’s face can take a beating in the winter months. The key to good skin for men is pretty much the same as for women: gentle cleansing, preventing damage (with antioxidants for example) and protecting from UV damage. In the winter, moisturize. Men tend to have thicker skin and many products are formulated to suit this trait. Keeping skin soft and supple is also key to a good shave and avoiding ingrown hairs that can irritate and cause redness. La Roche Posay XY Homme Anti- Redness Balm is a great treatment for irritated skin. La Roche Posay recommends taking these steps while shaving to ensure good results.
