Given the importance of the penis, it may come as a surprise that few men give much attention to caring for it beyond showering every day or so and using protection during sex. But the penis is a delicate organ, and unless it is treated properly, men of all ages may develop uncomfortable skin problems, foul odors, and even reduced sensation. In the long term, these issues may result in permanent damage.
Fortunately, dermatologists have recognized this problem and developed specially-formulated penis health crèmes which contain penis-specific vitamins and minerals that can help prevent common penis skin problems, promote healthy circulation, and eliminate odors that may drive away potential sexual partners. All men should be aware of the properties of the following ingredients, which are found in high-quality vitamin crèmes developed with men’s penis health in mind.
Natural Moisturizers
Dry, flaking skin is a common complaint seen by many men’s health specialists. A dry penis is unattractive, and it may easily become sore and irritated during masturbation or partner play. Drying of the skin can be caused by sunburn, cold weather, sensitivity to detergents or deodorants, and the spermicides found in most condoms. Keeping the skin well-hydrated with natural moisturizers such as shea butter can help to protect the penis against environmental damage. Shea butter is known to promote healing and to create soft, supple, young-looking skin that is responsive to stimulation.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is used for treating numerous skin issues. Also known as retinol, it helps to prevent premature wrinkling, scarring, and damage to the structure of the skin cells. In addition, it works as a natural antibacterial agent, destroying the bacteria that thrive in warm, moist areas and often cause foul odors.
Vitamin B5
This so-called “life-sustaining” vitamin helps to promote healthy function of the skin and nerve cells. In particular, this essential nutrient helps to repair and maintain the nervous tissue that lies under the skin of the penis – a major concern in preventing loss of sensitivity and reduced sexual pleasure. In addition, vitamin B5 is known to relax the blood vessels, increasing circulation and enabling men to achieve and maintain an erection.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is not just for keeping colds away. This important vitamin has multiple other functions, including the building of healthy collagen (the tissue that gives the penis skin its elasticity and supple appearance). Vitamin C is also needed for the formation of blood vessels and works alongside vitamin B5 to maintain optimum circulation.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is well-known as a healing agent, helping to repair damaged skin cells and restore them to their natural, healthful condition. Because this vitamin is not readily available in most foods, it is especially important to ensure that the skin receives adequate levels of this vital nutrient.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is another nutrient known for its healing properties. In addition, it acts as a natural moisture barrier for the skin, preventing loss of natural moisture that can lead to drying, irritation, and discomfort during sex.
Amino Acids
Amino acids such as alpha lipoic acid, L-arginine and acetyl L carnitine are essential to the formation of healthy nervous tissue. These substances, which are often referred to as the building blocks for proteins, also provide the body with the energy needed to maintain healthy circulation, heal after injuries, and build healthy skin and nervous tissue.
A specialized formula containing all of these essential ingredients can help men of all ages to avoid common skin problems such as redness, soreness, drying, and premature aging. In addition, it may help to stave off bacterial and fungal infections and to prevent odors. Most importantly for many men, a penis health crème (most health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) which is applied topically and absorbed directly into the penis skin for maximum effectiveness may prevent diminished feeling in the penis and can even help to restore penis sensation.
