Just like women, men want flawless healthy skin full of vitality. But there are many differences between male skin and female skin. This is why men’s skin requires very specific care. Discover how men’s skin differs from that of women and all our tips for caring for it.
Men Skin: Its Characteristics
As you may know, testosterone is the main hormone that determines the characteristics of a man’s skin.
Thicker skin
Men’s skin is on average 20% thicker than that of women. It is richer in collagen fibers which allows it to be more supple, firmer and more resilient than the skin of a woman.
Oily skin
Testosterone further stimulates the sebaceous glands, which produce twice as much sebum in men as in women. This is why men will have oily skin, larger pores and are more prone to symptoms of acne compared to women.
Tips & Solutions:
- To remove excess sebum on the surface and cleanse pores thoroughly, use the Soft Net Foaming Cleanser for Men It will also reduce the appearance of blackheads.
- Exfoliate the skin 2 to 3 times a week using the 3 Minute Gommage for Men after cleansing the skin. It will rid the skin of dead cells, improve the appearance of pores and prevent the appearance of acne symptoms.
More Pronounced Wrinkles
Wrinkles appear later in men. But once visible, they quickly become deeper and more pronounced. The drop in testosterone is accompanied by muscle wasting which also accelerates sagging skin.
Tips & Solutions:
- To plump wrinkles and improve the firmness of the face, use the Lifting Cream for Men daily. Rich in peptides boosting procollagen, it will maintain youth and skin tone.
More Sensitive Skin…
Do you know that on average, a man shaves more than 20,000 times in his lifetime? Repetitive movements of the razor blade on the skin cause irritation, micro-cuts and sensitize the skin of the man.
Tips & Solutions:
- To gently shave your face and prevent irritation, use Sensitive Skin Foaming Cleanser for Men. Its soft and light foam will coat and lubricate each hair for an easy shave while respecting sensitive skin.
- To soothe sensitive and irritated skin, use the Soothing Emulsion for Men. It will relieve irritations, reduce redness and preserve the hydration of the skin daily.
Predisposed To Ingrown Hair
And yes! Ingrown hairs are very common in men! Especially when shaving is done in the opposite direction of the hair growth or when the hair curls naturally. On regrowth, the hair sometimes rolls under the skin and causes a small red pimple which becomes painful when it becomes infected.
Tips & Solutions:
- To prevent ingrown hairs, don’t forget to exfoliate your face 2 to 3 times a week with the 3 Minute Gommage for Men. It will prevent clogging of the hair follicle.
- After shaving and in daily application, apply the Ingrown Hair Complex directly on the regions affected or predisposed to ingrown hair. It will also slow down hair regrowth to space out shaving.
