How does male skin differ from female?

If you’re wondering why male and female complexions start to differ from 20s onwards – facial hair aside – there are a few key differences which explain the variance in how skin appears and ages.

Male skin characteristics:

• It’s 25% thicker
• Has less underlying fat
• Has more collagen (until 50s/60s onwards)
• Can appear plumper & fuller
• But can be more resilient, resulting in it feeling dry & tough
• Is also more likely to be oilier (with larger sebaceous glands)

Gender aside, all our skins require a tailored skincare routine and TLC. These are just some of the factors to take into consideration when selecting the best treatments and skin care for your own face.
