Guys, did you know that this time of year you need to give your skin some extra love, care and attention? Chillier temperatures, indoor heating and the party season all contribute to dry and lacklustre looking skin. It’s time to treat our thirsty skin with products that increase the moisture level and leave your skin soft and healthy.
But First, Do Men Need Different Skincare to Women?
You may be wondering… can’t I just use my partners/sisters/flatmates moisturiser etc? Yes, you absolutely can (but ask her first, obvs!) however, there are some differences between male and female skin to consider. Male skin tends to be about 20% thicker than women, as it has more collagen and elastin. Male skin also contains more hair follicles – which can lead to an oiler complexion. Then there’s shaving! Regular shaving can lead to skin irritation, which can be provoked by added fragrance often found in women’s skincare. So, where some skincare is absolutely universal, some will also cater closer to male skin.
So, guys, if you want your own space on the bathroom shelf with your own little arsenal of skincare products… check out some of our faves below.
