Physiologically,
there are no major behavioural differences between men and women’s skin.
However, men’s skin differs in certain specific characteristics;
it is subject to significant stress linked to a different lifestyle.
THICKNESS, HYDRATION AND FIRMNESS OF SKIN
Skin is 25% thicker,
firmer and better hydrated
(dermis is richer in collagen)
PILOSITY
Increase in hair growth (pilosity)
caused by androgen impregnation
SEBUM PRODUCTION
Male hormones are responsible
for a higher level of sebaceous secretion
SKIN AGEING
Skin ages later but more noticeably
DAILY SHAVING
