Skin Care for Men

At Least Some Men Are Getting into the Skin Care Thing

Other than occasionally washing their faces and shaving, skin care for men was and still is, for the most part, uncharted territory.

Most men could care less about moisturizing their skin, exfoliating dead cells or repairing the lines and wrinkles of aging with skin care products containing effective ingredients like copper peptide or Retin-A.

For the most part, cosmetic manufacturers have recognized this bias and have done little to market their skin care for men.

This is beginning to slowly change and, for some men at least, taking care of their skin and preventing the signs of aging is becoming more important.

One reason for this is the never-ending emphasis on youth, especially in the white collar work place. While they will never acknowledge it, I believe that many employers would prefer to retain male employees who exude health and vigor over the tired looking and/or overweight ones.

This is why you rarely see a fat, tired, baggy eyed CEO if you watch the business news.

In this era of white collar downsizing, you want to do everything you can to retain your position and skin care for men can help.

There is also a blurring of gender roles in parts of the country that seem to make male skin care not only an acceptable, but necessary part of life.

So you will see men in salons getting facials and pedicures. Hair coloring is getting more prevalent as grey is out. And countless millions are spent each year by men for various hair replacement products – this seems to be the only area of appearance most men care about.

There are now companies that specialize in skin care for men, such as Menscience and Zirh. Teaming up with athletes and other celebrities, they are trying to make their state-of-the-art mens skin care products acceptable to the vast majority of men who want nothing to do with it.

Men’s skin is thicker and richer in collagen and elastin. Men’s skin also generally contains more sebaceous glands, which make it oilier. Because of this, men tend to have the ability to age more slowly and better than women.

But age they do. Dark circles, bagginess under the eyes, dryness due to sun exposure and lines and wrinkles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes and mouth and “turkey neck” all become visible sooner or later.

Men are just as prone to sun damage as women and should use a SPF 15 or better sun screen, even if they spend all their time in an office. Lots of damaging UV rays penetrate the glass.

Men should also clean their face daily in order to keep those sebaceous glands open and prevent acne and blackhead build up.

Moisturizing the skin after shaving, rather than applying alcohol based after-shaves, will keep men’s skin more supple and younger looking.

As with women, intake of water is necessary to keep the skin moisturized. It is all the more important if you drink a lot of alcoholic beverages.

Good diet and exercise not only help the prevent aging from the inside out, but also keep you looking more youthful and energetic.
