Although the structural makeup of male and female skin is quite similar, there are some changes that cause our complexions to appear differently. The primary distinction is the variation in collagen: men’s skin is thicker and firmer than women’s because men have more collagen density, and men’s collagen ages at a steady rate, whereas women’s collagen loss tends to accelerate dramatically around midlife.
SCIENCE-BACKED TREATMENTS TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC ISSUES
Men typically show signs of ageing later in life, but they can still be undesirable. These signs might include deep-set wrinkles, sagging skin, puffy or sleepy eyes, and dark circles. Due to their higher testosterone levels, men’s skin tends to be oilier and more prone to breakouts because they have more sebaceous glands and pores. Men’s skin can be sensitive as well; up to 40% of men experience problems after shaving. The secret is to know your unique skin type and how it is doing, and then to address any problems with a skin care routine that is specifically tailored to your needs, using products and/or treatments that address your concerns.
The sooner you start a regimen tailored to your individual requirements, the better the results will be, from regular sun protection and basic skin care to specialised treatments.
