7 Characteristics of Men's Skin

The main reason for using men's skin care products is that our skin, in general, differs from women's.

And unless you live in Northern Europe or a very cold climate, if you live in a warm or temperate climate, it's going to be even more necessary to use men's-specific products . This way, you'll avoid addingmore oil to your skin than it needs or products that could end up causing more sagging skin in the long run.

We have already talked in another article about the differences between men's skin and women's skin .

As we mentioned, as a general rule, men's skin tends to be more lipidic (meaning more oily or that it produces more sebaceous secretion) and also thicker.

In addition, frequent shaving affects our skin and can unbalance it, causing flaking , redness , and other problems that can be solved by using the right products.

Below you have a more detailed list of the differences between men's skin and women's skin .

7 DIFFERENCES IN MEN'S SKIN

1. It has more sebaceous glands, which means it produces more sebum, or what is commonly known as oilier skin. That's why it's important to use a light facial cream or gel that doesn't add more oil than necessary, and to use a sebum-regulating facial toner.
   
   
2. Due to this sebaceous secretion, men's skin is also usually somewhat better hydrated than women's.
   
   Therefore, wrinkles appear later, and visible aging appears later. However, when it does, it does so more suddenly , which is why it's important to delay this aging process as much as possible and try to make it as slow as possible.
   
   
3. This excess sebum also tends to easily cause more acne . That's why it's important to use non-comedogenic creams , meaning they don't cause comedones or acne .
   
   It's best to use a facial moisturizer without silicones or petroleum derivatives, as these ingredients create an occlusive barrier on your skin that prevents it from breathing.
   
   This isn't healthy and can cause comedones or blackheads . Use only natural, organic creams formulated with vegetable oils and plant extracts, whose fatty acids are much better suited to your skin while allowing it to breathe.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Men's skin tends to be thicker than women's. This means your face cream should be light and quickly absorbed.
   
   
5. It tends to have more collagen, which is why the aging process is slower and wrinkles appear later than in women.
   
   
6. Men 's pores tend to be larger. This means impurities accumulate more easily on their skin, so it's important to perform at least a purifying cleanse daily and exfoliate weekly.
   
   
   
   
   In any case, your facial cleanser should not only cleanse deeply, but should also be as gentle as possible, since a very aggressive cleanser can unbalance your skin, and if you have oily skin, it can react by generating even more sebum.
   
   
7. Due to its thickness and sebum secretion, men's skin tends to sweat more . In principle, you shouldn't worry too much about this, but it is true that this sweat can make you feel uncomfortable and unclean .
   
   That's why it's important to use a mattifying facial gel or cream to prevent shine on your skin.

Conclusion

We can say that it is important that you use products with specific textures for men's skin .

A facial cream that is not specifically formulated for men can end up generating more oil than necessary in your skin and, in the long run, more sagging .

A facial toner for men is one that also has sebum-regulating action, like our Cool Splash .

And a facial cleanser should also be formulated for men's skin, so that it deeply cleanses those larger pores described above, but without unbalancing it too much, which could cause a rebound effect, causing our skin to produce even more oil.

That's why our facial creams are specifically formulated for the characteristics of men's skin described above.

Of course, there is no single texture or single face cream for men, but ideally the face cream you use, in addition to being formulated for men, is also specifically formulated for your skin type (oily , combination , normal or dry skin).
