I'm a moisturiser and masturbation fan, albeit not always at the same time.
As regards to moisturising, having tried most of them, the winner is;
You can get it a lot cheaper in Superdrug.
Works in to your skin really quickly, as opposed to Nivea which doesn't at all.
Bulldog also do a Protective Moisturiser which includes SPF15 - probably only good enough for winter use. Superdrug's own brand SPF30 Moisturiser is a bit greasy. A good no nonsense non-SPF option is E45 cream.

Use Nivea in the white tub, not the blue tub.

I moisturise these days… at 44 I’m seem less juicy than I was at even 39.

I’m hoping that slapping all this manly moisturiser on I’ll look at least 45 on my next birthday. One can but dare to dream.

Well ‘ard, this moisturising.
I'm 45, and had perennially dry skin back in the UK.

Moved out to ME 7 weeks ago and 3 factors i've noticed that have improved the situation immeasurably:

Drinking more water - gone from 1 to 3 litres a day out of necessity
Change in water pH - here it's softer water albeit desalinated for washing and mineral water for drinking
sunlight - clearly obvious but having an abundance of Vitamin D helps so much

That’s pretty interesting… probably doesn’t help that the water in the northeast is as hard as the locals.

I looked at the title too quick and thought it said "I've started masturbating"
Honestly, this!

I started moisturising when I was about 40, but much more regularly at about 50. Luckily for me, my daughter spent a summer placement at L'Oréal and got a shed load of free products. Like anything, I think you get what you pay for in terms of quality.

Last night I was complimented on my freshly-moisturised smell by a lady who was at least a decade younger than me (& not MrsBC). Coconut fragrance, in case you're wondering.
See women can do that. If Gregg Wallace compliments a younger woman he gets a complaint lodged. So I read yesterday!

I'm just leaving the ME but I definitely moisturised and used sun lotion most days. The interesting thing is that the doctor said I was a little low on Vitamin D, I am very well tanned and in the sun a lot apart from July and August, too hot. Apparently it is quite common in ME too have low Vitamin D. Who knew?

I started the moisturising journey about 4 years ago due to a really bad skin issue I was suffering (that gave the old mental 'ealth a good whack). Showers/face washes were becoming a nightmare due to the dry skin on my forehead, cheeks etc immediately after. Just coming off in flurries as my skin dried post-shower.

When the dermatologist suggested moisturising it scared me as, when you have stuff coming OFF your face, the last thing you think you need to do is ADD cream to it.

Now I realise it's a no brainer. Your skin is wet from a wash, it wants that LOCKED IN so you add to it.

Gamechanger. Use Nivea stuff daily but now the weather is good I'll switch to the Bulldog SPF 50 stuff.
