Men’s skincare products are designed specifically for men and often feature a masculine scent. However, individual differences in skin are greater than hormonal ones, so it’s important to choose products based on your own skin type.
Is men's skin different from women's skin?
Due to hormonal factors, men’s skin is on average slightly thicker than women’s. For the same reason, men’s skin produces more sebum, the skin’s natural oil. A clear difference on the face is beard growth, which can make the skin more sensitive, as hair follicles create more pathways deeper into the skin. However, men’s skin texture is usually rougher and less prone to dryness than women’s, which is why fine lines caused by dryness are less common.
Average differences in skin don’t tell the whole story, as we are all individuals. A man’s skin can be dry, oily, or combination just like women’s and skin sensitivity also varies from person to person. The best products for your skin are found through experimentation
