Characteristics of Men's Skin | Grapey

For about twenty years, there has been a growing interest among men in their well-being and appearance. This has led to the development of new research that has highlighted the specific characteristics of men's skin.

All the characteristics of men's skin, to know how to treat it correctly and prevent wrinkles.

What specific characteristics does men's skin have?

On average, men's skin is characterized by:

1. Greater skin thickness compared to that of women.

Men have thicker skin than women (15% to 24% thicker). In men, the epidermis on the inner part of the arms consists of at least a dozen layers of cells, while women's epidermis has four or five. Studies have also observed a slight increase in the thickness of the stratum corneum on the cheeks and the back with aging.

2. Greater resistance to solar elastosis. This is a degenerative process that leads to the accumulation of elastin in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a loss of elasticity.

3. Delayed but more pronounced aging.

4. Different adipose tissue architecture compared to women, with thinner subcutaneous fat and higher activity of lipoprotein lipase in abdominal fat.

5. More acidic sweat and higher sweat secretion than in women.

6. Higher sebum secretion, which better preserves the skin from external aggressions.

7. Phanera influenced by hormones (these are keratinized epidermal products developed on the outer surface of the epidermis, including hair and nails). In fact, hormonal influence on men's skin and phanera is what determines most of the characteristics of men's skin. Men have a testosterone level ten times higher than women and more positive androgen receptors.

8. More pronounced microcirculation compared to women.

9. On average, slightly lower pH than that of women.

10. Lower oxygen partial pressure (pO2) than that of women.

11. Slower wound healing compared to women, at any age.

What should a man who uses skincare products use?

It is important for men to use cosmetic products specifically designed for men's skin, capable of responding rigorously to their needs.

These needs depend primarily on the following factors:

 

1. The individual's age
2. Skin type
3. Lifestyle

The structure of men's skin: pros and cons

Thanks to the structure of their skin (thicker, richer in collagen, better vascularized, with sebaceous secretion that preserves it from external aggressions), the first signs of aging appear later in men than in women. On average, these signs appear around the age of 30.

In the early stages of life, men's dermatological needs are more focused on the need for hydration, protection against external aggressions, and, after shaving, the treatment of blemishes, dark circles, and dull skin.

Grapey has produced a specific men's cream for skin that needs to be moisturized and revitalized, laying the foundation for protection against external aggressions and the care of the first wrinkles.

Once the skin aging process begins, men's skin is marked more deeply.

Therefore, it is important to prevent its aging by taking care of it in a timely manner. Try the revitalizing men's face cream: you won't regret it.
