Men's Cosmetics: Let's Debunk the Myths and Propose a Tailored Protocol

Skincare has no gender, but different needs. A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (2021) highlighted that skin needs are primarily determined by physiological and environmental factors rather than biological gender. This is the fundamental premise from which to start understanding how to take care of men's skin. It is often thought that products for men and women should be formulated completely differently, but the reality is that the difference lies not in gender, but in the specific characteristics of the skin and lifestyle. A conscious and targeted approach is essential to maintain healthy and balanced skin, respecting its peculiarities.

The Characteristics of Male Skin

Men, in general, have skin according to studies published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (2019), which indicate that male skin is on average 20-25% thicker than female skin, with a higher collagen density. This provides greater resistance, but also a predisposition to enlarged pores and excessive sebum production, as confirmed by research from the British Journal of Dermatology (2020).

• Thicker by 20-25% compared to the female one: this makes it more resilient, but also more prone to enlarged pores and impurities, requiring deep and regular cleansing.

• With a greater production of sebum: can lead to a shiny appearance and promote the emergence of imperfections, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).

• Richer in collagen: which delays the formation of wrinkles, although over time it tends to lose tone and firmness, making constant hydration necessary to maintain elasticity.

• Stressed by shaving: frequent shaving causes micro-abrasions and irritations that require soothing and repairing treatments to avoid redness and discomfort.

The Specific Needs of Male Skin

In addition to physiological differences, it is important to consider the typical lifestyle of men. Sports, exposure to environmental pollutants, and work-related stress can increase the need to purify and revitalize the skin. The lack of a consistent routine and the habit of neglecting skincare make a simple, quick, and effective protocol essential.
