For an elegant and refined appearance, proper skin care is essential for men, even though many prefer to avoid it and believe that their daily routine can be limited to washing their face during their morning and evening showers.
However, this is far from the truth, as just like for women, the largest organ in the body is the skin for men as well. It serves as their primary line of defence against mechanical impacts, harmful UV rays, and heat, while also protecting them from toxic chemicals, pollutants, and providing defence against pathogens.
Apart from these, there are, of course, differences in the skin structure between the two genders, which can be observed in the composition of the outermost layer, the stratum corneum. Due to differences in testosterone levels, men's stratum corneum is approximately 15-20% thicker than women's, as male sex hormones significantly stimulate collagen production. The quantity and size of sebaceous glands, as well as pore size, are also larger in men, making their skin oilier and more prone to acne formation.
Even though ageing processes for men start about 10 years later, they still experience a steady decline in collagen levels as they age. In contrast, women's collagen levels remain stable until menopause, after which they decline rapidly. This is why it is important for men to consider establishing a skincare routine tailored to their specific needs, although many find it difficult to admit, as some believe that a simple cream should be sufficient to achieve the desired results or address a sudden skin issue.
