The skin of each individual has a different composition specifically in the thickness, the amount of fat and the rate of aging. Therefore, it can be said that each skin is individually unique, but in general terms the skin of the man is thicker because it contains a higher level of the hormone testosterone, its thickness and shape are different, since they contain more collagen fibers, these fibers are the largest reserve of moisture in the skin, which generates elasticity and firmness. The decrease of these natural water reserves induce the appearance of wrinkles and that is why in general men do not show signs of age until the mid-thirties. Men produce more sebaceous glands, that is, they secrete a lot more fat which has as a consequence for young men to have more acne or imperfections in their skin compared to young women who tend to have drier skin. The fat in men remains firm as they mature, unlike in women, as it gradually decreases with age.

Note: As you can see in the graph the aging of the skin of men is more premature than that of women but at the same time is less accelerated, since in females once the menopause is started, its deterioration is faster.  

The collagen in the male skin is affected at a constant speed while in the female skin is affected late, and especially after menopause because that is where the skin gets thinner and its effects tend to be pronounced more than in the male skin.

The PH level of the woman is higher than that of the man, which could generate a greater deterioration of her defense function against dryness. Similarly, the production of sweat is also different. The skin of the woman is finer and more sensitive and as it matures it requires that her tissues be more hydrated.

In men, aging takes longer to appear in the skin of women; however at the time they begin to reveal it does so more quickly and sharply. The weakness in them is in the area around the eyes, throwing dark circles and dark bags.

According to the above, it can be deduced that the skin of men is harder and more resistant, and can tolerate in a better way the concentration of highly irritating active ingredients. Meanwhile, women tend to have a higher risk of suffering from irregular pigmentation associated with hormonal imbalances such as melasma, so women's skin care products often contain more ingredients to lighten the skin than those intended for men.

In relation to skin care habits, studies reveal that women do not mind using a product for each purpose; on the contrary men choose to use multifunctional products and thus save time in their daily routine.

Here are some tips for men and women to help them care for their skin.
