There is nothing wrong with using moisturizer, and you should really use one before bed and in the morning.
If you live in the northern half of the U.S., your skin will be begging for it in the morning and evening because of the cold, dry air--and because you have the heat turned up high and the oil is being taken from your face that way. A lot of guys take long hot showers in the morning and forget to moisturize after. That is why the area around your nose looks it has just been hit by a snowball (with white flakes everywhere) and it is also why your skin will get more oily--not less--as it works to replenish what was lost.
If you want to maintain some sort skin elasticity (plain english-no wrinkles) into your 40s and 50s and so on, then using a quality moisturizer is key. (Malin + Goetz) Vitamin E Facial Moisturizer is pretty awesome--fast absorbing and great results. So is Anthony Logistics Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15. Truthfully, there are a ton of great ones out there--so don't be a cheapskate and "use your women's". That is just stupid and could be damaging as well. I don't know if every guy should spring on a night cream as well, but it definitely doesn't hurt to look that way.
You can name-call and laugh all you want, but if you aren't moisturizing regularly, you will be a wrinkled, sloppy ug-mug who will be begging for some play. Kind of like Carrot Top, only less well known.
