Men Skin CareMan skin care routine is a lot different from women's. ManĄŻs skin is thicker and oilier, and every day it gets scraped and tugged by shaving, so it has very distinct needs. That much shaving calls for some serious skin care and repair. If your morning ritual consists of scrubbing your face with deodorant soap, dragging a razor across your stubble and splashing on a handful of Old Spice, it's time to rethink your routine. Cleansing Start by washing your face, morning and night. And forget the Dial and Irish Spring -most bar soaps contain harsh ingredients that dry or irritate skin, especially if they're of the deodorant variety. Instead, choose a gentle liquid skin cleanser to emulsify oil and dirt from the surface of the skin without stripping away natural protective oils. Moisturizing Check the ingredients for antioxidant vitamins to nourish and emollients such as olive oil and aloe vera to moisturize. If you're attached to bars, choose an unscented glycerin variety. Or try a gentle skin moisturizer containing ground herbs, grains or nuts to deep-clean pores and boost circulation. Shaving The best time to shave is right after you wash your face, when your skin is moist and your beard is softened. First, replace harsh shaving cream with a natural cream or gel made from vegetable products. And don't expect big bubbles from a natural product. Extra-foamy shaving creams contain artificial ingredients and harsh detergents, which are hard on the skin. Toning After washing and shaving, use an alcohol-free toner to remove shaving cream residue, tighten pores and help skin recover after being scraped with a razor. Use cotton balls or pads to apply toner. Look for one with a base of witch hazel to tone without drying. You can also use aftershave instead of toner, so long as it's free of alcohol and synthetic fragrances that can irritate skin. In general, male skin is oilier, with larger pores, a richer blood supply, and an increased a tendency to "sweat." Men are less prone to wrinkling than women, and may require deep cleansing daily. A man's skin is approximately 20% thicker than a woman's, and is typically firmer because it's richer in collagen and elastin. However, because of more active sebaceous glands, men's skin tends to be much oilier. It is also more prone to dehydration because of daily or regular shaving. In a man's skin, the dermis is thicker and richer in collagen, and the epidermis is often more oily. Therefore, it's more resistant than a woman's skin to the effects of the sun and other environmental factors. Around the age of 40 to 50 years, the dermis layer of a man's skin thins, and the level of collagen decreases naturally yet dramatically, causing deeper wrinkles to appear. Just as for women, men can prevent and correct the signs of aging with appropriate man skin care. A man's skin is his first defense against the effects of the sun, climate, and other environmental factors such as air pollution. The skin fulfils essential functions: body-temperature regulation, elimination of perspiration and toxins, and more. A man's skin needs to be protected effectively and daily.
