Winterize the Male Organ – Hot Tips to Avoid Cold Weather Damage
The
cold winter months can wreak havoc on the skin, especially the areas that are
exposed to the elements. A man doesn’t have to be an outdoor aficionado to
experience the effects of cold, wind and lack of humidity on his face and
hands. But the more protected parts of the body can suffer from the cold, as
well – not to mention dry indoor heat. The combination of dryness and drastic
changes in temperature can lead to dry, itchy, flaky skin that feels rough and
looks unappealing; and adding body-related friction to the mix can result in
considerable soreness and irritation.
Any man who is hoping for a romantic evening in front of a roaring fire to
evolve into something even more sensual will need to pay special attention to male organ care in order to make sure he is ready for
action whenever the opportunity arises.
1. Layer
up. The first rule of protecting the male skin in the winter is to
dress in layers. The innermost layer, the one that comes in direct contact with
the skin, should be made of a soft, breathable fabric such as cotton. This will
allow air circulation to prevent excessive sweating – which can cause irritated
skin (not to mention an unpleasant odor) while protecting the delicate skin from
rougher fabrics. For outdoor activities, it is always a good idea to dress in
thermal layers that can be added and removed as needed to prevent overheating
while protecting from the cold.
2. Hydrate,
hydrate, hydrate. Drinking
water in hot weather is a no-brainer, as people have a tendency to sweat and
feel thirsty during the summer months. But adequate hydration is especially
important when the temperature drops, as cold and wind tend to be dehydrating.
Drinking plenty of water is important for cellular function, including
nourishment and repair of the male skin cells, so keeping a bottle of water on
hand throughout the day is a must.
3. Keep
it clean! Built-up
sweat, body fluids and grime can be severely irritating to the delicate skin,
so regular washing is critical to maintaining healthy tissue. A daily wash in
warm water, using a gentle cleanser, is usually all that is needed to remove
layers of dirt, dead skin cells and sweat. No scrubbing or exfoliants, as these
can leave the skin raw and sore; and make sure to pat the area dry gently afterward, before putting on any
clothing.
4. Watch
out for drying soaps and detergents. While
cleanliness is important, men often make the mistake of reaching for harsh,
drying soaps, or for using shampoos and other cleansers that tend to leech body
oils from the skin. These materials can leave the skin feeling tight, dry and
itchy, and they may cause a flaky, rough appearance. Gentle, moisturizing
cleansers are recommended instead, and for men who have sensitive skin, it may
be best to look for hypoallergenic laundry detergents, as well.
5. Moisturize! Some men are notoriously leery of
applying creams, lotions or other girly-type potions to their manly skin, but a
moisturizer that is made just
for men is nothing to shrink
away from. Natural emollients like Shea butter, as well as hydrating elements
such as vitamin E, are not just for the ladies. A healthy male organ starts
with the skin, and keeping the male tissue smooth, supple and soft means using
a blend of ingredients formulated with men in mind. A top-shelf male
organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil), applied after a daily
shower, is an excellent choice for men who want to protect their most delicate
asset from the drying effects of cold weather and indoor heat.
