Special Care for Men’s Aging Skin
While aging is a universal experience, men's and women's skin ages differ significantly. Understanding these differences is crucial to tailoring skincare routines that address specific needs. Men often notice wrinkles later in life, but they tend to be deeper and more pronounced when they appear. This is due to a combination of hormonal differences and lifestyle habits.
The Differences in Aging Between Men and Women
Hormonal Changes
While women experience significant hormonal shifts during menopause, men's testosterone levels gradually decline. This slower hormonal change can delay the onset of visible aging signs.
The Effects of Shaving on Men’s Skin
The daily ritual of shaving, which is great for removing dead skin, can also be a significant source of skin irritation and damage for men. This repeated action of dragging a razor blade across the face can lead to cuts, ingrown hairs, and dryness.
Skin Thickness
Men generally have thicker skin than women, making wrinkles appear more profound and prominent. Men form wrinkles at the corner of their eyes more than 10 years earlier than women. While thicker skin can provide some protection against environmental factors, it can also make it more difficult for the skin to retain its elasticity and resist the formation of wrinkles.
Skin Cancer in Men vs Women
Skin cancer rates are higher in women than in men before age 50 but are higher in men after age 50. Men are more likelylikelier to spend time in the sun without adequate sun protection. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) survey, approximately 43.6% of women routinely use sunscreen compared to 23.4% of men.
