It's a fact. Men's skin is more delicate than women's.
Yep, you heard right! The daily shaving ritual aggravates the
skin, destroying the hydrolytic film on the skin's surface,
thereby increasing dryness and reducing the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 the drying
effect of shaving while at the same time exfoliating and
replenishing the 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 the 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 the damaging effects of excess
sunlight.
Quality natural men's skincare doesn't contain chemicals which
strip out the skin's natural moisture. It doesn't contain
petrochemicals, sulphates, and chemical preservatives which can
have an hormonal impact. It doesn't contain artificial
fragrances and parabens. In fact, quality natural men's skincare
contains only pure and organic ingredients. It consists of a
blend of essential oils, vitamin extracts, spices, beeswax, and
pure oils which is tailored to the specific needs of a man's
skin and a man's environment and lifestyle.
As a result, a quality natural men's skincare range can make a
man's skin feel less irritated, dry, and itchy. It can maximize
the skin's elasticity, and enhance the complexion. Perhaps most
importantly, it can make it far more pleasant to a woman's touch.
Conclusion As it turns out, men need skincare just as much as
women, maybe even more. Their skin is more delicate and it is
continually exposed to damaging conditions. But because a man's
skin is thicker and oilier and has smaller sebaceous glands, it
needs a tailor-made skincare range. So when it comes to skincare
don't settle for second best. A man's skin needs a natural men's
skincare range - a range which reduces dryness and irritation,
replenishes natural defenses, enhances skin rejuvenation, and
makes his skin all the more touchable.
