Skin care for men and women: what are the differences?

When it comes to skincare, it’s important to understand that women and men have different needs. But what are these differences, really, and how do you choose the right products for healthy, glowing skin? Here’s a step-by-step guide to understanding the specifics of skin by gender and why our unisex products are perfectly suited to each person’s needs.

Skin structure: what are the differences between men and women?

The skin of men and women is not exactly the same, and this distinction is reflected in the very structure of the epidermis.

• Skin thickness : On average, men's skin is about 25% thicker than women's. This thickness makes men's skin more resilient, but also more prone to sebum production.
• Sebum and pores : Men produce more sebum, which can make their skin oilier and more prone to blemishes. They also have larger pores. Women, on the other hand, have thinner skin and are more prone to hormonal changes that affect the balance of their skin.
• Hormonal influence : Hormones play a key role in the appearance of the skin. Testosterone, which is more present in men, stimulates the production of sebum and promotes the appearance of hair. In women, hormones also cause variations in sebum production, to which are added variations in hydration and sensitivity, throughout the menstrual cycle, during pregnancy and at menopause.
• Hair : The presence of hair in men may require specific care to avoid irritation and inflammation.
• Skin aging : Due to their higher collagen production, men often show signs of aging later than women. However, male wrinkles can appear more pronounced once they form! Women, on the other hand, see the first signs of skin aging earlier, especially after menopause.

Adapt your skincare routine according to your skin type

With these differences in mind, how do you choose a routine that's right for you? Fortunately, whether it's men's or women's skincare, there are simple and effective solutions.

For women

Care should mainly focus on hydration, prevention of aging and respect for the finesse of the skin.

• Hydration and protection : a moisturizer adapted to your skin type is essential. If you have dry skin, choose rich textures, and for oily skin, opt for light formulas. You can also adopt a moisturizer suitable for all skin types. Add an antioxidant serum to reinforce the protection and youthfulness of the skin.
• Anti-aging skincare : Women typically start to notice the first signs of aging earlier than men. Incorporate skincare containing hyaluronic acid or retinol to prevent and correct signs of aging. However, it is quite normal and natural to see these small marks of time appear. They are part of life and also reflect the richness of our experiences.

For men

Men's thicker, oilier skin requires care that controls sebum production while calming irritation caused by shaving.

• Deep Cleanse : Use a purifying gel cleanser to regulate excess sebum and prevent blemishes. A mattifying moisturizer helps reduce shine.
• Hydration : Opt for non-greasy moisturizers to avoid clogging pores.
• Blemish treatment : Men's specific products are often formulated to combat pimples and blackheads.
• Aftershave care : After each shave, apply a soothing balm to calm irritation and gently moisturize the skin. Essential for soothing skin irritated by shaving.

Myths to deconstruct

• Men's skincare is more aggressive : false! Modern skincare for men is increasingly gentle and suitable for sensitive skin.
• Women do not need specific care : false! The needs of female skin evolve throughout life and require adapted care.
• Men don't take care of their skin : false! More and more men are paying attention to their appearance and are adopting personalized skincare routines.

While men and women have different skin types, their skincare needs are ultimately quite similar: cleanse, moisturize, and protect. By choosing products that are tailored to your skin type and specific needs, you can achieve a bright, radiant complexion.
