Keeping the skin healthy during winter weather can be a challenge all over the body, and some men find themselves with dry male organ skin during the cold season – not an attractive feature for a man to display, especially when introducing his manhood to a new partner. Every guy wants his member to look its most impressive, no matter what the season. Making dry male organ skin care a component of his regular male organ health routine is advisable, especially during the frigid winter months when a man really enjoys getting his member warmed up.

Winter factors

Why does the skin tend to get dry during winter? Largely because the air itself is dryer and saps some of the moisture out of the skin. Frigid winds also exacerbate this situation. Exposed skin is clearly more at risk here, but some winter winds break right through fabric and affect the “protected” areas as well.

Tips regarding dry male organ skin

There are several things a man needs to do to prevent or treat dry male organ skin. Some of these are specific to the manhood itself while others are more general and help protect skin all over the body.

Some tips that a man should follow during the winter include:

• Don’t go commando. Many men enjoy an “unfurnished basement,” meaning that they tend to forego wearing underwear. The free swinging movement can be a relief, but in winter especially it can create skin issues. The member is left more vulnerable to cold and winds without an extra layer of protection; in addition, rubbing up against rougher fabrics like denim or wool can cause more irritation to the skin, adding discomfort to dryness.

• Drink up – if it’s water. Staying properly hydrated is key for good skin health, including the skin of the manhood. The body needs plenty of water for many reasons, including skin health; 6-8 glasses is recommended for most adults. A man knows he has consumed sufficient water if his urine is consistently a pale yellow. Plain water is the best fluid option; some juices are fine, especially non-cloudy ones, but alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can have a dehydrating effect and so should be avoided.

• Watch the sugars. Sugary foods and drinks tend to have a negative effect on skin health, so consume these in moderation. Excess sugar also can accumulate in the urine and stray drops drying near the head of the male organ can irritate the skin.

• Avoid hot showers. When the winter is raging outside, a long, hot shower feels great. Unfortunately, hot water depletes the skin of the oils it needs to keep moist. A warm shower is fine, but when the heat factor goes up, so does the dry male organ skin factor.

• Use lubricant. Sensual activity, whether partner-based or solo, is generally more enjoyable when there is sufficient lubrication. Often a couple finds their natural lubrication is sufficient; however, if it is not, the friction resulting from an especially enjoyable sensual interlude can compound member skin issues. Adding a few drops can be a fine preventive measure to keep the manhood healthy.

• Moisturize. Practice daily health maintenance. It’s very important that a man keeps a consistent eye on his member health, whether it’s winter or summer. Dry male organ skin and other problems can be avoided or aided by using a first-class male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). With skin issues, using a crème that includes Shea butter (a natural emollient favored by many experts) and vitamin E (an excellent hydrating agent) helps to create a moisture seal that locks in moisture, addressing cracked or dry male organ skin. It’s also beneficial to select a crème with vitamin B5, which promotes healthy male organ cell metabolism and, therefore, healthy manhood cells.
