Why does male skin require special care?
Author: Temperance Date: 28.6.2024
Men's skin is different from women's, it is thicker, oilier and more prone to damage due to frequent shaving and more exposure to the sun, because men use much less SPF creams, which increases the risk of skin damage.
As we mentioned, there are differences between female and male facial skin, the most important of which are in the structure, thickness of the skin and in the production of sebum.
The higher level of testosterone in the male body causes the skin to be 20-25% thicker compared to the female skin, so it can also be rougher. With increasing age, men's skin becomes thinner, women's skin becomes thinner only after menopause.
Under the influence of higher production and excretion of testosterone in men, more sebum is produced in the skin, therefore the skin is oilier.
Men's skin is also significantly affected by shaving, which disrupts and destroys the protective surface lipid film, thereby exposing skin that is more sensitive and susceptible to damage from the external environment.
There are many benefits of comprehensive skin care, the most important of which is the prevention of harmful elements that cause premature aging of the skin and the mitigation of skin damage.
The promotion of skin care as an exclusively female thing is not correct, and the use of peeling, mask and serum will certainly not feminize men, and the use of cream will not make the skin greasy. In fact, your often neglected skin will thank you. The world is evolving and with it the science of skin care, which is no longer classified by gender, but by skin type and skin problem.
Keep in mind a few golden rules - dos and don'ts - don't expect immediate results, patience is very important, adapt your routine to your capabilities.
We have also adapted the routine for men to make it as comfortable as possible. We have simplified the 10-step care to 5-steps, thanks to which the skin will be in the right condition.
We will introduce you to five care steps with product suggestions from us:
The 1st step is a two-phase cleansing of the skin - removing impurities from the surface of the skin that accumulate throughout the day.
