So, what is the difference between men’s skincare and women’s skincare? We are going to let you in on a little secret… not much! Products are often ideal for men and women, even though there are notable differences between men’s and women’s skin. Keep reading to learn more about skincare for all genders and make an appointment with one of our talented estheticians today to figure out the best skincare products for your skin.
Men’s Versus Women’s Skin
The most notable difference between men’s and women’s skin is the thickness. Men’s skin is about 25% thicker than women’s skin. Men’s skin also has more collagen, larger hair follicles, and more sebum production. This is due to increased testosterone production. The oil glands in men are more active which allows for greater moisturization over the adult years which helps slow down the aging process. Women’s skin has a high pH while men’s is more acidic. Both genders see a decrease in hydration with age. So, what does all this mean?
Men’s Versus Women’s Skincare
The research shown above is definitely relevant but it does not mean that there should be a big difference between men’s and women’s skincare routines. What is more important than gender is your behavior and specific skin issues. Do you shave your face a lot? Are you outdoors often? Is your skin oily? Is your skin dry? Do you have acne? What we know to be true is men and women need to wash their faces twice daily, moisturize, and wear SPF—and this is the minimum. It is also a good idea for both genders to have a repairing cream and a toner. Having a good routine and good products are what matter the most at the end of the day.
