Why men's skin is different to women's

Not fluff. Not hype. Just facts. Because when it comes to men’s skincare, the truth is simple: your skin isn’t the same as hers. And it’s about time the world stopped treating it like it is.

It's thicker than women's skin

It’s around 25% thicker than women’s skin—thanks to higher collagen density and testosterone levels. That might sound like an advantage, but it’s a double-edged sword. Thicker skin doesn’t mean tougher. It means different needs. It reacts differently. Ages differently. And it deserves a routine designed with that in mind.

You can’t borrow from the shelf next to you.
You need skincare that speaks your language—made for your biology, not borrowed from hers.

It's produces more oil.

Men produce more sebum—that’s skin oil—than women. That’s why your skin might feel greasy by lunchtime, why breakouts happen post-gym, and why shaving can turn into a battlefield of irritation. This excess oil means more clogged pores, higher acne risk, and a bigger need for cleansing that’s strong, but not stripping.

Bar soap won’t cut it.
Your skin demands more than a cheap fix. It needs intelligent, tailored solutions that strike the balance between control and care.

Pollution. Stress. Exposure.

You’re on the front line.
Men are more likely to spend longer hours outside. More time commuting. More exposure to UV rays, city smog, and environmental stressors. Combine that with shaving—which removes up to two layers of skin each time—and it’s no surprise your skin feels tired, rough, or just plain fed up.

What does this mean for your routine?
It means you need defence. Products that don’t just sit on your skin but actively protect it. Ingredients that fight back against pollution, free radicals, and the visible signs of ageing.

Ageing happens faster

Here’s another kicker: men’s skin might age slower, but when it does, it happens fast.
Lines appear deeper. Dark circles hit harder. And because you’ve got less subcutaneous fat under your skin, sagging is more visible. Prevention isn’t just smart. It’s essential.

Start early. Stay ahead. Use targeted products that support collagen production and hydration before the signs show up.

Why It Matters

You’re not just taking care of your skin. You’re backing your confidence.
The right men’s skincare routine doesn’t just clean your face. It builds your presence. It shows self-respect. It reflects how you show up in the boardroom, in relationships, in life.
