The Truth About Men’s Skin and How to Take Care of It

When it comes to skincare, it’s important to cater to the skin you have. For men, that means understanding how your skin is biologically different and what it really needs to stay clear, balanced, and healthy. From thicker skin to higher oil production and the daily toll of shaving, men face unique challenges that call for more than just soap and water!

So, let’s examine what sets men’s skin apart and how a simple, effective skincare routine can make all the difference.

Men Have Thicker Skin

Men’s skin is about 25 percent thicker than women’s. This means their skin is naturally more durable, more resilient to environmental stressors, and is often less sensitive.

But here’s the catch…

That thickness means the skin needs deeper hydration to penetrate. So, men, think again if you thought skincare wasn’t for you. Your skin needs moisture, maybe even more than women’s does!

And yes, that thicker skin comes with some extra baggage. It’s more prone to clogged pores, which means exfoliation is a must. Our Facial Scrub is a perfect go-to, and it’s easy to see why our male customers keep raving about it: “I love this facial scrub. It’s gentle yet does an astounding job of exfoliating my skin.”

So, if exfoliation hasn’t been on your radar, it’s time to rethink your skincare routine, fellas! 

Oil Production and Breakouts

Thanks to testosterone, men’s skin also produces more oil, which can mean more breakouts and overall skin congestion. That’s why choosing the right moisturizer is key. Our Matte shine control moisturizer is made for oily skin, delivering hydration without the heavier oils and shine. It will help keep your skin balanced and breakout-free.

Aging and Wrinkles

Here’s another win for the guys; men’s skin does tend to age more slowly! But when wrinkles do show up, they come in deep due to having thicker skin. Prevention is everything, which is where our HoneyGlo Regenerating Face Serum comes in. It’s packed with five organic plant-based oils to help keep skin firm and youthful as you age. See what all the obsession is about with reviews like this, “I’ve noticed a difference in my face already. Smooths out skin tone and dry spots. Seems to firm somewhat also.”

Shaving Sensitivity

Men who shave regularly deal with razor burn, ingrown hairs, and irritation. That’s exactly why we created ManKine. It’s ideal as a moisturizer and post-shave treatment in one—perfect for men who want a product with multiple uses in one bottle! If your skin tends to be on the drier side, ManKine is especially ideal as a deeply hydrating facial moisturizer, leaving skin smooth and refreshed without the greasy feel.
