Gone are the days when a man’s skincare regimen was mainly limited to musk soaps and spicy aftershave. Considering today’s busy lifestyles, proper skin care is equally important for men and women. In today’s world, men are expected to appear in business and leisure with a crisp style and confident image. This makes skin care an integral part of their lives.
There is little difference between male and female skin except for some physical differences. Men’s skin is thicker and oilier because the sebaceous glands are larger and more numerous, and they are active primarily under the influence of male hormones. Oily skin makes them want to wash their face every now and then. However, using harsh sulfate cleansers or bars of soap can completely deprive the skin of its natural moisture.
These factors and constant shaving make men’s skin sensitive and prone to skin conditions such as acne, extreme skin dehydration, dullness, and shaving growth.
With this in mind, here are a few reasons why men should start paying attention to their skincare routine, as well as some tips that should be followed for healthy skin.
- Men’s skin is more complex and more prone to oil.
- Frequent shaving can leave your skin with a rough texture and visible dark spots.
- Men’s skin is easily tanned due to their reluctance to wear sunscreen lotion.
- After a long or stressful night at work, men can feel tired, have puffy eyes, and bulging bags under their eyes.
