"What kind of lotion should I use and how often should I apply it?" These are good questions and I'm glad you asked. How often you moisturize depends on how severe your dry skin is.

Moisturize. Seems obvious doesn't it? The best treatment for dry skin that men can do is apply a moisturizing lotion. But wait! Don't reach for your wife or girlfriend's favorite lotion.

If you are not comfortable purchasing your Mary Kay skin product from the gal that works at your office, you can order discreetly online. Your macho friends at the gym don't have to know. Just click here. It's just that easy.

Moisturize from the inside.

Our bodies are mostly water…so keep the tank topped off. Dry skin can sometimes be a symptom of dehydration. Your skin needs a certain amount of water to serve you properly. It uses the water supply to grow new skin cells and to keep them healthy and your skin supple. So drink plenty of water every day.
