Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

2. Skin Energy moisturiser

£8.99, Nivea for Men, boots.com

Late nights can leave your skin looking tired and dull so if you're the type of chap who likes to burn the candle at both ends then try the new Skin Energy product from Nivea.

3. Daily Moisturiser Boost

This lightweight moisturiser immediately hydrates skin and also helps to soothe skin post shaving. The inclusion of citrus oils also helps to tone and revitalise the skin.

4. Ultimate Moisture

Dry, run-down skin sometimes feels as though, in order to recover, it requires a continual application of moisture. All hail then this intense, long-lasting moisturiser.

5. Facial Fuel Transformer age-correcting gel

£27, Kiehl's, kiehls.co.uk

This is packed with blue algae which helps combat skins roughness and added vitamin E aids hydration. The lightweight-gel doesn't leave an oily residue, either.

This promises to help to reduce your pores and make you look younger in just four weeks.

7. Protect & Perfect Intense anti-aging moisturiser

This moisturiser from Dove is specially formulated for men's skin. Easily absorbed, it also contains an SPF15 to protect against harmful UVA rays from the sun.

Dry, flaky skin is never a good look; that's why this intensive moisturiser from Clinique is perfect for your dried out epidermis. It's also great to use on freshly shaved skin.

£9.99, L'Oreal Men Expert, boots.com

A good moisturiser that helps to protect you from the drying effects of a daily shave. It has added minerals to protect against pollution, too.
