Skin Care for Men

Men have different skin care needs to women. The genetic makeup of male skin varies in several ways to females and that is why there are skin care products made specifically for men. Firstly, men produce more testosterone. The increased levels of testosterone actually create an additional thickness to the skin. A males skin is 25% thicker than a female. Therefore, mens skin care products need to be made differently to get optimum results. Males also produce more sebum, an oil which is commonly found on the skin. With the increased production, male skin tends to be oilier and more susceptible to acne, pimples and breakouts.

Ingredients in Men's Skin Care & Beauty Products

When selecting skin care, it's important to consider a number of factors but perhaps most importantly, you need to evaluate your skin type and the ingredients in the products. For men specifically, you should be using skin care and beauty products that contain the following:
  • Antioxidants: Helps to reduce acne and even skin tone.
  • Retinol: Helps to smooth skin
  • Peptides: Promotes skin tightening and smoothes wrinkles.
  • Glycolic acid: Removes dead skin cells, provides exfoliation and lightens discolourations.
  • Aloe vera: Offers anti-ageing properties while offering added moisture.
Other ingredients you should consider in men's skincare are acai, shea butter, jojoba and Kakadu-plum. They also help to prevent UV damage, regenerate moisture and nourish the skin cells. These products will help your skin feeling great but it's important to also have a good skincare routine.

Men's Skin Care Routine

Only occasionally applying some skin care products isn't enough. Having a good skin care routine will help keep impurities from the skin and give a softer feel. If you are interested in starting a routine here are some excellent tips for a daily skin care routine for men. Exfoliation for men is similar to that of a woman. You'll need to remove the dead skin cells by gently scrubbing your face. You can use a face cleanser to help assist with exfoliation. Depending on the cleanser you use, it'll only take you a few minutes. It's recommended to exfoliate a minimum of once a week to a maximum of three times per week. You'll just need to test a routine to see what works best for you. So there you go fellas. Skin care and beauty products are for men too. Your skin will thank you!
