Dry Male Organ Skin – 4 Care Steps
Dry skin on any part of the body is a real pain; it itches,
cracks and sometimes even bleeds. On top of all that, it feels unpleasant to
the touch. While unwanted anywhere, dry male organ skin is of particular
concern for men. Cracked, flaky skin on the member inhibits the pleasure of
solo stroking and partner play, along with leaving the prize tool susceptible
to odors and infections as cracks provide lodging zones for bacteria and
odor-causing fluids. There are steps men can take to protect their manhood
skin; proper male organ care can help men keep their intimate skin
soft, smooth and pleasant to the touch.
This type of care is especially crucial
during the colder months when skin faces a double assault. The first enemy is
cold, dry air, which robs the skin of its moisture. Foe #2 is the artificial
heat that pumps through vehicle and home vents. While this heat is necessary
for health, safety and daily functioning, it also has a drying effect on skin.
There is no more important time for a man to mind his male organ skin than the
winter. The following tips will help men keep their most sensitive skin
healthy.
1)
Short, warm showers: Who doesn’t love a long, hot shower in
the depths of winter? Sadly, this indulgence takes a toll on the skin as hot
water strips natural protective oils from its surface. These oils serve to hold
moisture in the skin; therefore, prolonged exposure to hot water primes the
skin to lose its hydration. Keep showers short and warm to avoid this.
2)
Chill out on the soaps: As with hot water, soap has a tendency
to dry the skin out. This is particularly true of harsh soaps, which can
actually damage sensitive manhood skin. Generally, warm water is sufficient to
keep the member clean and odor-free.
If a man insists on using soap in the
groin area, he should choose a fragrance-free and very mild product, preferably
comprised of all-natural ingredients. Men should note that “all-natural”
doesn’t always mean safe for the male organ, however; some natural ingredients
can cause stinging and irritation when used on sensitive skin. Such ingredients
include peppermint and tea tree oil.
3) Use
a humidifier: Keeping the air inside one’s home moist
can spare the skin from drying out, at least after work and when sleeping.
Humidifiers can also help with sinus problems and cracked lips in the winter.
People who use a humidifier should monitor humidity levels in their homes and
keep their machines clean; otherwise, mold and bacteria problems can occur.
Those with asthma and/or allergies should consult a doctor before using a
humidifier.
4) Use
a high-end moisturizer: Applying a quality lotion or body cream
to the whole body after toweling off from the shower is a great idea. This
additional layer both provides moisture itself and works with the skin’s
natural protective oils to seal in hydration.
Not all lotions and creams, however,
should be used on the manhood skin. It’s best to go with a product that is
specifically designed for the male organ. These products often come with
additional male organ health benefits. Ingredients that the best creams should
contain include:
- Shea butter – a plant-based
moisturizer
- Vitamin E – another natural hydrator
- Vitamin A – its antibacterial
properties keep odors at bay
- L-arginine – promotes the production
of nitric oxide, which in turn aids in vasodilation. Dilation of the blood
vessels is needed to allow the in-rush of blood that facilitates tumescence.
- Vitamin C – promotes youthful-looking
skin and aids in healthy blood flow
- Acetyl L-carnitine – a neuroprotective
nutrient that helps maintain organ sensitivity and, therefore, pleasure
Along with the care steps above, use of
a male organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) will help men maintain supple, soft
skin this winter.
