What distinguishes men’s skin from women’s skin?
Men's skin is often thicker, oilier, and produces more sebum than women's skin. This is primarily due to higher testosterone levels, which activate the sebaceous glands more strongly. As a result, men's skin is more prone to clogged pores and blemishes, while also being more resistant to external influences. Of course, men can also suffer from dry or irritated skin, especially in winter or in the cheek and chin area due to frequent shaving.
In addition, men's skin has a higher collagen content and a thicker stratum corneum, which makes it firmer and leads to fine wrinkles usually appearing later than in women. However, wrinkles in men can often appear deeper and more pronounced later, especially if you do not have UV protection use.
Therefore, many men need a washing gel or cleansing foam that is suitable for combination skin or oily skin Despite increased sebum production, cleansing should be mild to avoid drying out the skin or damaging its protective barrier, as aggressive cleansing products can irritate the skin.
Which facial cleanser is right for me?
If you tend to have oily skin with pimples and blackheads, clarifying facial soaps or masks with activated charcoal, volcanic mud, or clay are perfect for ridding your skin of excess sebum and dead skin cells. Tea tree oil, salicylic acid, and zinc are also important active ingredients that have anti-inflammatory properties and effectively cleanse pores. Regular use helps prevent blemishes and visibly improves your skin's appearance.
The dry For skin irritated by shaving, cleansers should be especially gentle and nourishing to avoid further stressing the skin. Mildly foaming cleansing gels or balms with valuable oils such as milk thistle, evening primrose, kukui nut, avocado, or tamanu oil, and extracts of chamomile, spirulina, blue-green algae, and calendula soothe stressed skin.
The right order: facial cleansing or shaving first?
You should wash your face with a facial cleanser before shaving. This thoroughly cleanses the skin of dirt, excess oil, and dead skin cells, optimally preparing it for shaving. Clean, well-prepared skin helps the blade glide more smoothly and prevents skin irritation or ingrown hairs.
After Shave It's better to rinse your face with clean, lukewarm water and then use a mild, alcohol-free toner to soothe and condition your skin. Washing with cleansers immediately after shaving can unnecessarily dry out or irritate your skin.
Do I need a face mask or a scrub?
Men's skin also benefits from the regular use of face masks or peelings. Peeling Removes dead skin cells, promotes cell renewal and ensures a smoother, fresher skin appearance, which is ideal before shaving to prevent ingrown hairs.
