Is a man’s skin different from a woman’s?

Are you one of those men that steals your girlfriend’s skincare? You might be using a product that is not appropriate for your skin and for that reason, might have no effect. What are the main differences between a man’s and a woman’s skin? Let’s have a look:

1. Texture

On a superficial level, the texture of a man’s skin is very different from a woman’s. A man’s skin texture is rougher and its layers are also thicker. Although, their thicker dermal layer is actually more sensitive to environmental conditions than thinner female skin. Male skin is also more sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, as Dr Camacho, (MD, voluntary assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine) mentioned.

2. Hydration

Puberty prompts the appearance of facial hair and boosts sweat secretions. That means men are more prone to develop large pores and related problems such as acne and secondarily scarring from acne. Thickness According to the Dermal Institute, a man’s skin is around 25% more solid than a woman’s. A man’s skin tends to gradually thin as he ages, whereas of a woman’s remains relatively the same until menopause.
