Men's edit: grooming & skincare for the cold months

In winter, men's skin care requires a different approach. Cold, wind and dry air directly affect your skin, especially after shaving. Our Skins Experts share how to adapt your grooming routine with the right after-shave and moisturising face cream. This will keep your skin comfortable and cared for, even during the colder months.

Support dry skin in winter

Dry skin develops more quickly in winter due to temperature differences and heated indoor spaces. So choose a moisturising face cream that supports the skin and protects it from external influences. Avoid showering too hot and preferably apply your moisturiser to slightly damp skin. This way, you will support hydration and keep skin comfortable during the winter months.

Why do men get dry skin faster in winter?

Shaving disrupts the skin barrier and cold air withdraws moisture from the skin. Combined with wind and heating, skin loses its comfort faster. By cleansing gently, soothing immediately after shaving and moisturising daily, you visibly support your skin.

The importance of aftershave in cold weather

Aftershave plays an important role within men's skincare in winter. It soothes the skin after shaving and helps reduce irritation. Formulas with soothing ingredients like aloe vera support recovery and ensure a comfortable feeling, even on dry skin.

Within this step, Acqua di Parma Essential Shaving Kit forms a complete approach to shaving and aftercare. The kit brings together cleansing, grooming and aftershave and is enriched with the signature scent of Sicilian citrus. From the creamy Barbiere Soft Shaving Creme to the caring Aftershave Emulsion, each product is tailored for comfort and balance during the colder months.

Which aftershave helps prevent irritation in cold weather?

In cold weather, choose a low-alcohol aftershave with soothing properties. These formulas help soothe redness and support the skin after shaving without unbalancing it. In addition, a balm with a creamy texture offers extra comfort and leaves skin feeling cared for.

Within our collection, discover Acqua di Parma's Colonia Aftershave Balm. The balm is enriched with the iconic Colonia fragrance from 1916, bringing together fresh citrus notes with rose, lavender and a warm base of patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver.

Exfoliation - the key to healthy men's skin

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and smoothes the skin, allowing skincare products to be better absorbed. Gentle exfoliation is a valuable step within men's skincare, even in winter. Preferably choose exfoliants for the face that are gentle on the skin.

How often should a man exfoliate for healthy skin?

Exfoliating once or twice a week is enough to remove dead skin cells and keep the skin smooth and balanced. Preferably choose a mild exfoliant and avoid strong scrubs, especially in winter. If skin feels sensitive or dry, it is important to adjust the frequency and always follow with a moisturising face cream.

Hydrating grooming tips for winter

A hydrating face cream is the foundation of grooming in winter. Rich textures support the skin in cold and windy weather, while light layers provide comfort throughout the day. For extra care, boosters or essences can be a valuable addition within your routine.

What is the best moisturising face cream for men with dry skin?

Choose a formula with natural oils and conditioning properties that support the skin without feeling heavy. This will keep skin supple and cared for, even in low temperatures.
