My face is feeling the effects of the cold weather, sitting in the car with the heat on, having my wooly cap pulled low. Can anyone reccomend a moisturiser thats not too… girly? Nothing scented. I’ve tried Nivea for men, but no joy.
E45 products are good, unscented, and have a pretty gender-neutral branding if that’s an issue.
A second recommendation is that you please try to learn where to put your posts around here.
Since the OP is looking for opinions, I’ll move this to In My Humble Opinion.

“manly moisturiser” is an oxymoron, bub.
If you don’t let your skin crack, how you ever gonna look lke Clint?
Clinique for Men makes a product called Maximum Hydrator. Shit is top notch I tells you. Perfect guy stuff, but be warned it expensive as all getout.
Cetaphil (from pharmacy OTC)
Do you shave as God intended you to do so, with shaving soap and a brush?
Switch to these things, and you may find a happy side effect of a nice bit of moisturizing. Especially if you’ve been using an electric razor. Those are an abomination that, among other injustices, dry you out.
Using a shaving brush is quite manly.
Before you shave as God Intended, sharpen your razor on your pee pee. That is how Chuck Norris starts his day.
I suffer from an affliction I call “wintertime ashy elbows.” There’s a new product I use that’s technically a body wash, but I use it as a lotion.

One of the resident cheap bastids chiming in here. I use a moisturizer made by Suave. Yep, the folks who make cheap shampoos, conditioners and hand lotions. It works fine.
Male Georgians know cheap lotions. High five, swampbear.
Bah. I sharpen my razor on my eye.
Bukkake.
Actually, it depends on where you are applying the moisturizer.
A product meant for hands/knuckles/feet/elbows might can cause dermatitis on one’s facial skin, since this skin is likely more sensitive and a greasy formulation can plug the pores. For example, slathering onto your face a moisturizer that’s meant for cow udders could cause an outbreak.
FYI: Facial moisturizers are typically far more expensive than general moisturizers.
Hive five backatcha Askia. Now we know where the really cheap bastids live.
Spit.
That’s fine, as long as you keep your eye clean. Sandblasting works for me.
Hilarious!
I tend to have a flaky forehead and scalp. Last time I needed my hair cut my barbershop was closed, so I went to a place called Supercuts, kind of an all-family hair place. In addition to getting the best cut I’ve had in a while, the female barber (stylist?) recommended a Paul Mitchell leave-in conditioner (“Tea Tree”), which can also be used on the face. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and the problem is completely gone, both scalp and face.
Smells kind of manly, too.
What’s bukkake?
You know my motto: when in doubt, just google it at work and click “I’m feeling lucky”. . .
The body shop sells a Men’s Face Protector, which has both a sunscreen and a windscreen in it.
The tube’s a little pricey, I know, but you don’t need very much at all per application, so it lasts a long time.
I used to swear by it when I lived in Boston.
