Moisturiser advice please

Do you actually need a moisturiser?

Personally I use an aftershave lotion which contains alcohol to close the pores and moisturising oils to soothe the skin. In my collection I have 4711 Aftershave Cologne, Woody's Aftershave Tonic, Lea 0% alcohol Aftershave Lotion and Brut Original Aftershave Lotion all of which moisturise. If you are using something which does not contain moisturising oils such as Old Spice Original Aftershave or a cologne then you will need an aftershave balm and I would default to Nivea but I don't use it.
 
I use a moisturiser as part of my routine to nourish the rest of my face. I wouldn't use cologne or anything scented anywhere other than my neck. It's often horses for courses and I don't think there is any one right or wrong way. If you feel you need one use one, if you don't leave it out of your routine.

I swear by mine, but I understand it isn't for everyone.

To be honest I've used them all, from very expensive to cheap. My two go to moisturisers now are Aldi day or night cream both are fantastic (I kid you not, this stuff is brilliant when you can get it) or The Ordinary skincare range. Both are non greasy on my skin and a little goes a long way.... if you have sensitive skin avoid a toner and try a serum (after washing and before moisturising). The ordinary again do two both of which are great. Patch test first time be sure (a dab on the skin so your checking there's no reaction). Just my routine, I wouldn't over complicate it. Whatever you do, try it for a month, (unless you get an adverse reaction) if you do stop immediate. Do not use clinical toners they will strip your skin ( I know from experience) my wife ended up using it as nail polish remover. I'm no expert, but have been using skincare products for over 30 years now. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Does your pours open & close ?
 
I did loz when the wife said " why the hell are you buying stuff like that for, your either having an affair or your turning into a right tart, which is it?"
I replied "look it's recommended from the guys in the forum (innocent look)"
" So you gave up porn to end up talking to tarts with razors," she responded.
