Is Skincare For Men? – An Often Asked Question in Skincare
Did you know that men’s skin deserve and require as much love and care as that of women? Here’s why skincare is not gender selective.
Fun fact: Majority of men have only 1 product in their skincare regimen – a bar of soap (lol). This may have been acceptable in the past because we didn’t know any better; but not anymore! As opposed to widely held assumption, skincare is just as important for men as it is for women. A man’s skin is approximately 25% thicker, oiler and has more prominent pores than a woman’s.
Howbeit, research has shown that women are more likely to pay attention to skincare to a much higher degree than men ever will. Gratefully, there’s now a lot more of enlightenment on skincare, and to neglect it will do you no good. Our male folks forget is that the youthful and healthy skin we all desire is only achievable with a proper skincare routine. Not only does it improve your appearance, it also saves you the time, energy and money you would spend treating skin conditions later on.
In recent times, more men have begun to seek healthier skin, and we love it! It’s impressive to come across men who pay attention to skincare; there’s always a clear difference. One is our Chief Skincare Consultant at MySkincareMall who is very passionate about skincare -you should book a session sometime to adequately tackle your skin concerns.
What Should Your Routine Consist of As a Man?
According to Dr. D. Engelman, a dermatologist in New York, an ideal skincare regimen should include a cleanser, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen, as well as traditional grooming essentials such as after-shave gels, hair & beard oils. “Men need to cleanse, moisturize, and protect their skin at a minimum. Additional steps may be necessary depending on their individual skin type and needs,” explains Dr. Engelman.
