Men, yes, you do have different skin than women and you definitely should be utilizing skin care products designed for you! We know it can be easier to just test out your partners products and not necessarily admit to any of your buddies that you take care of your skin. Or maybe you have been wanting to take better care but feel like the whole industry is focused on women and have no idea where to turn for your specific needs.
We hope to help shift the persona that taking care of yourself with a skin care routine of some sort is “not manly” or “just for girls”. Feeling good is for everyone and skin care can play a big role in helping you out. Some products will work for either men or women, and then there are some specific products to target what men need.
How is men’s skin different from women’s?
Men’s skin requires more advanced care than women’s. Men’s skin is thicker, more oily, and your skin texture is tougher. Men typically have larger oil glands and the cells in the sebaceous (oil) glands have more positive receptors for androgens. Men also usually produce more sebum than women and therefore have oilier skin. Sebum is basically a greasy oil that is meant to keep the skin and hair lubricated. Due to men having facial hair, more sebum is produced leading to the skin appearing oily.
Besides having facial hair, there are structural differences between men's skin and women's skin. Androgen (testosterone) stimulation causes an increase in skin thickness, which accounts for why a man's skin is about 25% thicker than a woman's. So yes, quite literally men have thicker skin! That means you need different products and ingredients to penetrate more effectively while addressing those differences.
