The skin of the penis is, by its very nature, a bit wrinkled. The folds of skin around the penis allow this amazing organ to grow in size as blood flows in, and then shrink back down to a manageable size when the blood flow slides away once more. Without wrinkles, a penis wouldn't be able to do its job properly. This doesn't mean, however, that a man wants any more wrinkles down there than he absolutely needs. In fact, most men want the skin of the penis to stay smooth and supple, with as few wrinkles as possible. Alpha-lipoic acid can help, and if it's applied as a part of a routine penis care program, men may see a real benefit in the appearance and function of the penis.

Stocking Up By Mouth
Alpha-lipoic acid is found in a variety of natural foods, including:
• Liver and other organ meats
• Leafy, green vegetables, including spinach and broccoli
• Brewer's yeast
• Tomatoes
• Rice bra

Pulling together a big salad with a side of liver might be tasty, but it might not be helpful for penis skin. The body needs a significant amount of additional alpha-lipoic acid in order to feel the true benefits of this nutrient, and eating meals like this might not provide enough exposure. Additionally, the body doesn't always allocate nutrients using a method approved by the brain. A man who eats tomatoes may think he's doing so for his penis, for example, but the body may apply the nutrients in that tomato to the skin of the nose instead. Eating nutrients is an imprecise method to use in order to nourish one specific part of the body.

Alpha-lipoic acid is also available in capsule form, but once again, the body might choose to use those supplements to assist some other part of the body, leaving penis skin in its original neglected and wrinkly state. Taking massive doses of this vitamin by mouth can also be a bit risky, as the acid may cause blood sugar abnormalities, and the supplement can also interact with medical treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Topical Applicationsr
Putting alpha-lipoic acid directly on the skin of the penis gives a man control, allowing him to specify where the nutrient should take effect. The acid won't be put to use to help another part of the body in this method, and it won't be interacting with other medications that might also be within the digestive tract. Applying the lotion directly to the skin can also bring about other benefits. When alpha-lipoic acid is applied topically, it works as an anti-oxidant. The chemistry can be complicated, but in essence, the skin is conducting reactions all day long, and sometimes, those reactions spin out of control and cells begin to erode and show signs of premature aging. Alpha-lipoic acid can stop these reactions, and allow skin to maintain its youthful appearance.

Women might be accustomed to using lotions on their skin, as they've been coached to keep their skin young in order to remain attractive, but men might find the concept a little unfamiliar. It's easy enough to get started. After a shower, when the skin is clean and warm, nutrients can penetrate the tough exterior of the skin and do their work deep within the cells. Lotions applied at this time can also help to trap moisture within the skin, which might also help to prevent skin from drying, cracking and peeling. A penis health cream (most experts recommend Man 1 Man Oil) contains an appropriate amount of alpha-lipoic acid, along with other skin-nourishing ingredients, that can help a man to get the soft, smooth and youthful skin he craves. Skin like this is more beautiful, and as an added bonus, it's also much more sensitive.
