Men's skin: unique characteristics and differences from women's skin | FETĒN Blog
An increasing percentage of men are concerned about their skin care. We all like to look and feel good , inside and out. Due to ignorance, laziness, or embarrassment when it comes to purchasing personal care products, many admit to borrowing them from their mother, sister, girlfriend, or wife... Let's break this trend!
IS MEN'S SKIN DIFFERENT FROM WOMEN'S?
Men's skin is specifically regulated by the hormone testosterone . So you can already assume that it is different from women's skin. The main differences are:
- The structure of the skin of man contains a greater number of collagen fibers, being approximately 20% thicker . This provides hardness and a firmer, stronger appearance.
- Wrinkles take longer to appear because collagen production in men's skin is prolonged. But when it stops, it does so more suddenly, and wrinkles appear abruptly and pronouncedly .
- The activity of the male sebaceous glands is almost twice that of the female, giving rise to a oilier skin with a greater tendency to the hated shine and enlarged pores.
Plus, whether you shave or grow a beard, you know that the care your face needs will also be different. Not only that, your lifestyle also influences this : stress, sleep, diet, hydration, exercise, and external factors like weather, pollution, or sun exposure.
Find a routine tailored to your skin's characteristics. If you're unsure how to approach it, FETÉN can help you with a variety of skincare routines specifically designed for your skin type.
