These tips will help you keep your sensitive skin healthy.

1. Avoid using rough towels

Drying your skin with a rough towel will rub it off and this might cause irritations. Use soft or cotton towels and pat dry;  do not rub off the water after showering.

2. Keep your skin moisturized

To keep your sensitive skin in place as a man, make sure you use a mild body wash to keep it refreshed and stay hydrated all through. Maintaining moisturized skin protects your skin from cracks that might let in irritants.

3. Shave smart

A man with a sensitive skin should shave well to appear smart and avoid any rashes. If shaving with a razor ensure you do it gently without applying much pressure. A light touch will make you feel more comfortable.

4. Read through the skincare product labels

Do not go shopping and purchase any men's skincare product that you come across. Ensure you read through the labels to ascertain its ingredients. Avoid products that have alcohol, perfumes, soap, fragrances and dye components in them as they can affect your skin negatively.

5. Avoid using hot water

Hot showers can lead to skin irritations and dryness. To take care of your sensitive skin, lukewarm or cool water is a better choice for your skin.
