No man wants to strip naked and find dry penis skin unattractive, and no woman wants to be exposed to that either. While dry penis skin is often just that, dry penis skin, and is not a major penile health problem of serious proportions, it does look unattractive and unsightly. So when a man discovers that the skin on his penis is too dry to display in public, he must take steps to care for it. Fortunately, basic care for dry penis skin is common sense.
Why so dry?
Sometimes dry skin on the penis is the result of common skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, and its treatment may require the help of a dermatologist. Very often, however, dry penile skin is the result of what are commonly called environmental or lifestyle factors (as well as, in some cases, a genetic predisposition to dry skin). When these factors are to blame, it makes sense to make changes in certain areas to address dry skin.
Among the reasons why a man may have dry skin on the penis are:
– The air is simply too dry. When the humidity is too low, the air can draw moisture away from the skin, including the penis. This can happen at any time of the year. For example, in summer, excess heat can be responsible for drying out the skin. In the winter, heating units, central heating, fires, or space heaters can help reduce humidity in the air. Also, many people spend a lot of time with a fan blowing directly on them, which can dehydrate the skin. (If you sleep naked, do not point the fan directly at the penis!). Using a humidifier when the air is too dry can be beneficial, but be sure to clean it regularly.
– Showers are too long or too hot. This may seem counterintuitive, but showering or bathing for too long, or using water that is too hot, can actually dry out your skin. Why should adding water to skin make it drier? Easy. All that water (and soap) washes away the natural oils your body produces. It is these oils that actually moisturize and hydrate the skin, and hold water in place. Most men avoid very hot water on their penis (thankfully), but many like to take nice, long showers. And even if the water isn’t sprayed directly onto the penis, it still drips and drains the oils that the skin of the penis needs to remain attractive to partners.
– The cleaner is wrong. No man likes to walk around with an unpleasant smell of penis, so most men tend to practice proper hygiene and wash their members regularly. Sometimes they even use a soap or cleanser with an added fragrance just to help disguise any fishy odors that may linger in the area. But often soaps, especially those with fragrances and chemicals, can be too strong for the delicate skin of the penis. It can not only dry out the skin, but also leave a rash. Therefore, using a milder soap is usually better.
– The detergent is also bad. The same story applies to laundry detergent. Washing tight white clothes with a detergent that has too many chemicals can cause the chemicals to rub onto the penis and dry out the skin. Softer is better.
To care for dry penis skin, keep the air moist enough, avoid long hot showers, and use mild soaps and detergents.
Another important tip for the care of dry penis skin: every day, apply a high-quality penis health cream. (Health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven to be gentle and safe for the skin) to the penis The best of these creams will contain a combination of dual hydration, such as a high-end emollient (such as shea butter) and a natural moisturizer (such as vitamin E). Together they can create a moisture lock to keep skin well hydrated. The best cream will also include vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid. Vitamin B5 is a vital nutrient that is required for cellular metabolism and the maintenance of healthy tissues.
