....can't use men's moisturiser?
I'm assuming it'll be a little more 'heavy duty' than the stuff designed for females but other than that it'll be much the same?
I've just cleared out a cupboard and found some unused Nivea for Men tubs and in true MSE style........I'm planning on using it.

I don't see why not, but there again I know nothing about such matters. My wife once bought me some Nivea for Men facial moisturiser. I still don't know what it is supposed to do. When she asked me if I had used it I told her that I had put some on my hands and her reaction was almost violent. I asked her what's the difference? It appears that face cream costs about 5 times as much as hand cream. I didn't dare ask why not get hand cream and put it on your face?0

lol I got some free samples of Nivea for men awhile ago (and for the same reason wouldn't throw them away...) and I used them for my neck (which I am obsessive about moisterising). I've kept one in my bag for after washing my hands too but I didnt rate then as hand cream to be honest but they didnt do any damage so its ok in the short term.

Men's skin is different to Womens skin as most men shave. If you are going to use it, do a test patch first0

The difference between the two will be the smell and cost.0

Well my chap uses my moisturiser - I have had to hide it from him, mind you I think I shall be kind and let him use my dermalogica stuff now that I have treated myself to Clarins:D
He is so vain he sticks any old slap on - even stuff he buys in the pound shop:rolleyes:0
