Men's anti-wrinkle face cream: which one to choose?

"Men's skincare products are becoming increasingly available online. But why the need to sell products specifically for men's needs? How does men's skin differ from women's? Can a man use the same skincare products that a woman uses?" 

We aim to provide greater clarity on this topic in this article. 

Skin of man: specific characteristics  

The skin of men has some specific characteristics that make it different from that of women. First and foremost, men's skin is much thicker than women's. 

"Inside it also contains much more collagen, which allows it to remain youthful much longer than that of women." 

Another important aspect or factor of difference is the production of sebum: the skin of men generally produces much more sebum than that of women. While this allows it to remain softer and more compact for a longer time, it should also be considered that men's skin generally sweats much more than women's, which leads to greater dryness. 

Finally, a strong production of sebum also leads to a higher likelihood of the onset of pimples and blackheads, due to the clogging of the pores. 

Men's skincare: what changes? 

Cleansing, hydration, and protection are three key words in both women's and men's skincare. However, one gesture that men generally perform and women do not must be taken into account: shaving the face. This detail is not negligible because every skin reacts in completely different ways to shaving, which leads to different needs that creams must necessarily address. 

Some skins, after shaving, are particularly irritated and therefore will need products designed for sensitive skin; other skins, on the other hand, are particularly dry and will therefore need moisturizing and nourishing products.

Which cream to choose?

Despite what has been said so far, the first rule to follow when choosing the right cream is to learn to look at and recognize your skin type. 

Skincare products should always be chosen based on one's specific needs. 

"Although there are objective differences in the skin of men and that of women, everyone has a different skin type that must be recognized for appropriate treatment." 

For example, if generally men have skin that produces more sebum compared to women's skin, there are certainly cases of particularly dry and arid skin. 

What has been said so far helps us arrive at a simple answer to this question: the right cream for all men does not exist; what exists is a type of cream suitable for the specific needs of each person. Just as with age, when it comes to gender, the most important rule is always and only one: listen to the specific needs of your skin and choose the products that best meet these needs.
