Men Have Different Skin
Men simply have different skin than woman. In the past, skincare companies primarily targeted woman and later take a gender-neutral approach. However, these differences are important and skincare companies are just beginning to recognize this. We can help with exclusive skincare and services for Men's needs.
Smaller Sebaceous Glands
Contrary to popular belief, sebaceous glands in men are smaller than those in women. But since the absorption of active ingredients is primarily through these glands, which function in association with the micro-circulation of blood, active ingredients and textures in skincare products must be adapted to this physiology. Men's skin however is thicker in texture due to the natural male hormone activity within men's body.
More testosterone naturally leads to a thicker and more resistant collagen matrix than that of a women's skin. It is also more acid and generally oilier and thicker. Wrinkles will appear later in life but will be deeper than in a women's skin. It is also more prone to blemishes, which makes facial hygiene even more important.
Even though Men's skin is more resistant than a feminine skin, its subjected to the rough handling of the razor which is a repeated aggression that destroys the hydrolipidic film, thus reducing the natural protection. The skin becomes dry and irritated and shaving can complicate things further by causing a host of issues including sensitivity, irritation and ingrown hairs.
Furthermore, men have a tendency to expose their skin more often to harmful elements such as the sun, wind, the cold and the pollution sometimes due to their careers or lifestyle.
So a Man's skin may appear stronger it may also be more vulnerable.
We are here to help with many needs from relaxation as well as specific treatments. For home care, good simple skincare products can help to keep skin smooth, youthful, and less irritated by using quality skincare adapted for men.
