Moisturisers for men are specially designed for skin that is not only rougher, but also has more sebaceous and hair glands. Moisturising after shaving is a great way to ensure you don't further ruin your skin barrier by leaving it exposed to dust and grime. Needless to say, shaving spray alone is not the best solution. Yes, it acts as an antiseptic, but doesn't always close and soothe open pores left behind by shaving—that's when face creams for men come in. Here are 12 of the best ones we found online.

If you're not a fan of cream-based moisturisers, then gels will do the trick. We're big fans of Nykaa's in-house products simply because of how good they are! They're all natural, fuss free, and minus any nasties. The neem and tea tree gel is great for not only purifying but also for oily acne-prone skin. It's great for the summers, and is affordable as well.

If you have dry skin, or live in cooler areas of the country, anything that has shea butter and vitamin E in it should be your best friend. They both have amazing healing properties, especially when it comes to restoring and healing the skin's barrier. The Man Company, as the brand name suggests, boasts products specially made for men's skin, and rightly so! Further, the formula is non-greasy, and anti-inflammatory in nature.

Packed with the benefits of plum extract and vitamin C, this face cream by Lotus Pro Men is suited for all skin types. Being a drug-store product, it is super affordable while the formula itself helps with evening out skin tone, elasticity, and firmness. It also helps with fine lines and luminosity.

You cannot go wrong with The Body Shop simply because of how great all their products are, especially when it comes to skincare. The vitamin C boosting moisturiser is one of Body Shop's most iconic products that can be used by anyone. It tremendously helps heal the skin barrier, while the vitamin C-rich formula helps with natural glow and firmness. Through on the higher end of the price range, it is safe to say that a tiny amount tends to go a long long way (if you're not sharing or stealing from your partner's tub). 

Orange Lotion By Biotique

Needless to say, Biotique is a very beginner friendly brand when it comes to skin and body care. We recommend the orange brightening lotion, especially if you're just starting out and are not willing to shell out big bucks. Though we don't support or even understand the need for 'brightening lotions', we do like the fact that Biotique is a 100% Ayurvedic and curated with botanical extracts. Further, it nourishes the skin, as well as claims to cure skin infections and irritations.

This rather iconic tub of cream can easily be spotted in just about anyone's vanity. The Nivea men's cream is one of the best ones when it comes to formula and is suited for all skin types, throughout the year, even though it is used in the winters more because of the thick consistency. The formula is super non-greasy, lightweight, and helps with UV protection, and dark spot reduction. 

Cream With Linseed And Caffeine By Kiehl's

Now if you really want to start taking your skincare seriously, and mean business, then get the Kiehl's linseed and caffeine cream that is perfect for all skin types, especially ageing skin. It's lightweight, and non-greasy, as well as helps with firming, lifting, and helping with fine lines and wrinkles. The linseed extract and caffeine helps with blood circulation adding glow to your skin. It is for sure on the higher end of the price range, but we'd always blindly buy a Kiehl's product for being a Kiehl's product alone. 

Arabica Coffee And Shea Butter Moisturiser By The Man Company

If the Kiehl's caffeine infused cream does not fit your budget, then we'd suggest checking out The Man Company's coffee and shea butter moisturiser. As stated before, shea butter is your best friend if you're looking to healing your skin barrier, and if you have dry skin. Coffee on the other hand helps tremendously with blood circulation adding glow and a visible reduction of pigmentation and lines.

Clinique is a high-end brand that excels at skincare products. For men, we'd suggest using their men's hydrator than claims to work up to 72 hours. It is a gel cream that makes it perfect for the summers, and for all skin types, especially oil and combination skin. Further, it has an auto-replenishing technology that has caffeine, helping trigger the skin's own rehydration system, which we think is pretty cool. It is 100% fragrance free, oil free and lightweight. On the pricier side of things, a little goes a long way, plus we'd suggest buying this one if you're serious about your skincare (which you should be).
