It’s a fact. Men’s skin is more delicate than women’s.Yep, you heard right! The daily shaving ritual aggravates
skin, destroying hydrolytic film on skin’s surface, thereby increasing dryness and reducing skin’s natural protection. What’s more, men – especially outdoor men – tend to expose their skin to a torturous array of damaging conditions including sun, wind, water, salt, building products, chemicals, cuts, scratches, and grazes.
It’s no wonder, then, that man of today is more concerned about his skin than ever before. Like his level of fitness and health, his apparel, and his grooming, a man’s skin says a lot about him. Unfortunately, this new-found awareness is leading some men to conclusion that they should be using their wives’ skincare products. This is a mistake! A man’s skin is different to a woman’s, so it needs to be treated differently.
Why is men’s skin different to women’s? Before we can talk about how natural men’s skincare caters to men’s unique needs, we need to understand what those needs are. Why is men’s skin different to women’s skin? There are four main differences between men’s skin and women’s skin:
• Men have thicker skin (although many women would beg to differ) • Men have oilier skin • Men have more delicate skin • Men’s skin has smaller sebaceous glands
Why natural men’s skincare? There’s little point using a skincare product which is made for a woman’s skin. Quality-made natural men’s skincare addresses differences between men’s skin and women’s skin (without turning skincare into a tedious, never-ending chore).
A quality men’s facial scrub is formulated to combat drying effect of shaving while at same time exfoliating and replenishing skin’s natural defenses. A men’s soap contains specially selected oils and organic ingredients which not only cleanse but which also accelerate healing. Men’s shaving supplements leave face feeling fresh and moist, not dry and aggravated. And of course, men’s all-in-one face and eye moisturizers provide convenient yet dynamic skin rejuvenation while simultaneously minimizing damaging effects of excess sunlight.
