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.
