Compare a Man's Skin Care to Yours & See the Differences

Updated: Mar 22, 2022



Men's skin care


‘Man skin care’ would seem like an alien topic to some men.


It would have been even more alien a few years back. However, more and more men are now realizing the importance of man skin care (and hence you see markets flush with man skin care products too). Even though the male skin is very different from that of a female, ‘man skin care’ is very similar to the skin care for women.


‘Man skin care’ too starts with cleansing. Water soluble cleansers are preferred.

Cleansing helps remove the dirt, grease and pollutants from the skin and helps in preventing pore clogging. The inherent oily nature of male skin makes cleansing an important part of man skin care procedure.


Cleansing should be done at least once every day, even better if it is done twice a day. Using soap on the face is discouraged.


‘Man skin care’ revolves a lot around shaving.


Shaving foam/gel/cream and after shave lotion are one of the most important man skin care products. Serious ‘man skin care’ requires a proper selection of shaving related equipment and products.


One of the main considerations in choosing shaving products should be the skin type (since the degree of oiliness differs from person to person). Alcohol-based aftershaves should be avoided.


Proper ‘man skin care’ also mandates the use of good quality razors.

Here, swivel-head razors are preferred since they are known to reduce cuts. Besides these products and equipment, it is also necessary that you use them properly. Be gentle when using your razor. Do not scratch it against your skin; use a soft and smooth action (after all it’s a matter of removing hair, not the skin itself).


Male skin is generally thicker and oilier, owing to larger pores and more active sebaceous glands. However, due to regular shaving, the skin can get dehydrated quite easily. Hence moisturizers too form an integral part of man skin care.


Moisturizing gel or cream should be applied after shaving. In fact, some shaving foams/ gel have an in-built moisturizing effect too. Moisturizers should be patted gently over the face and massaged gently using upward strokes.


Though a man’s skin is less susceptible to skin cancer caused by UV radiation, using a sunscreen is also an important man skin care measure.

You can use a moisturizer that combines sunscreen with the moisturizing effect.


Another good option for ‘man skin care’ is to use man skin care products which have natural ingredients like Aloe Vera, sea salt and coconut etc. Naturally antiseptic oils e.g. lavender, tea tree etc. also provide good means for man skin care.


Man skin care is not as difficult as a lot of men think. It just asks for a few minutes every day, in order to give you a healthy skin for present and for future.
