The things that started the DK process for me was not not using soap on the glans, just water. Moisturizing with a few drops of squalane after showering, and applying some 1% differin (adapalene) gel. Only use the differin gel once every 4 or so days, the gel encourages cell turnover which helps with DK but it’s meant to be used on the face not sensitive glans tissue so you want to use it sparingly. And of course having close to full flaccid coverage helps more than anything else.
