WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES IN A MAN'S SKIN?

  • Men's skin is oilier.
  • Men's skin is more acidic.
  • Men have more facial hair.
  • Men's skin is thicker.
  • Men's skin is more sensitive.
  • Men have a higher rate of skin cancer.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SKIN AS MEN AGE?

  • The early signs are thinner skin and loss of moisture.                                  
  • Wrinkles & fine lines become more apparent & a loss of elasticity to the skin.
  • The horny layer loses its radiance and the skin's capacity to absorb diminishes.
  • Visible aging signs for men are more sudden and more pronounced.
    The specific areas of aging are deep-set wrinkles on the forehead, pronounced lines on the sides of the nose, slackened cheeks, a double chin and thickening of the neck.
  • It is important to point out that lifestyle also greatly influences the quality of their skin.

HOW DO MASCULINE HORMONES AFFECT SKIN

  • Skin is a hormone-sensitive organ.
  • Men's skin is constantly affected by testosterone.
  • The androgens, in particular testosterone, attaches to the receptors in the epidermis and dermis.
  • In the epidermis, testosterone increases the number of granular cells.
  • In the dermis, testosterone increases the amount of collagen produced  and stimulates blood flow.
  • With sebaceous (oil) glands, testosterone stimulates the production of sebum.
  • In the hair follicle, testosterone toughens the hair.
  • Men have smaller sebaceous glands, but their skin has higher secretion levels of  sebum, becoming more prone to acne and blemishes.
