Living in the Middle East can wreak havoc on skin, with constant exposure to AC, extreme heat and all that desert air whenever you and the guys jump on your bikes. If your better half is tired of you swiping her moisturing products, why not invest in your own to help improve dry, rough skin and add years to your face. Here are our top picks:
1. The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
This hydrating booster is far from ordinary. Using varying molecular weights and three forms of hyaluronic acid (which attracts up to 1 000x its weight in water) to deeply hydrate, it also uses vitamin B5 to enhance surface hydration.

3. Shiseido Men Hydro Master Gel
Proving a moisturiser doesn’t have to be thick to be effective, this lightweight gel is formulated with peony root extract to control sebum, as well as hydro master technology to promote hydration and long-lasting moisture. More than 90% of men tested said it improved extreme dryness.

4. L’Oréal Men Expert Hydra Power 48hr Moisturiser

5. Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Hydration Booster
If this professional-strength, time-released concentrate can’t diminish dryness, we don’t know what will. Enriched with evening primrose oil, coconut juice, hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract, it protects skin while infusing it with intense moisture.
