What distinguishes men’s skin from women’s skin?
Men's skin has completely different properties than women's. It is thicker and much more robust. Its collagen content is typically higher than that of a woman's. The collagen fibers are also more tightly interconnected.
This means that men may develop wrinkles later than women. However, these often don't appear as fine lines, but rather as clearly visible wrinkles.
Men's skin also has more sebaceous glands than women's. Male sex hormones such as testosterone stimulate this sebum production. Therefore, men's skin often appears oilier and greasy than women's. Due to the increased sebum production, men's skin may also be more prone to blackheads and pimples.
What causes oily skin?
Since men's skin is often much oilier, skin reactions are more likely to occur. Skin can also be more sensitive after shaving.
Various factors can influence sebum production:
- Environmental factors: Dry air and a particularly humid climate can stimulate sebum production.
- Stress: As stress levels rise, so do cortisol levels in the body. The hormone cortisol, in turn, influences sebum production. Therefore, make sure you maintain a balanced daily routine.
- Nutrition: Nutrition plays a role in the appearance of the skin – a balanced diet can help keep the skin in balance.
- Incorrect care: Overly intensive facial cleansing, scrubbing, and rubbing can severely stress your skin, disrupt its balance, and further stimulate sebum production. Gentle cleansing and the right care routine will support a balanced and well-groomed complexion.
How do you properly care for oily skin?
