Have you ever wondered if men’s skin is really that different from women’s skin? The answer is yes, it is. You may think it’s because men have more facial hair. But there are more reasons why.
There are big differences between male and female skin. Men have more testosterone, a hormone in their bodies, which can make their skin thicker and oilier than women.
Larger Pores
Men also have larger pores, which means that their skin produces 4 times more oil than a woman’s skin. This results in more blackheads, clogged pores, and breakouts.
A study found that men had higher sebum (skin oil) production and larger pore size. Typically, skin oil is a natural moisturizer but too much oil can lead to acne. Oil production in men’s skin does not slow down as they get older either. So, problems with breakouts can last longer and be a life-long struggle.
Reduce Pore Size & Oily Skin with Facials
Men who need to cleanse away excess oil and calm down irritated skin should try facials.
Facials involve exfoliation, a process that removes dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover.
At Cool Aroma Gentlemen’s Spa, we use premium international products including Dr. Renaud, Forever Living Product, and Nu Skin. These professional products have proven, through health trials, that their special formulations thoroughly and safely treat dry, oily, and normal skin.
While the basic steps are the same, men’s facials also address issues like oil control, razor burn, and thicker skin by soothing the skin using ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile. Facials also include lymphatic drainage techniques that help reduce congestion and sinus pressure.
We recommend getting a facial every 4-6 weeks to maintain healthy skin. However, if you have specific skin concerns, frequent treatments might help.
Once you are regular with your facials, you can even out rough patches and reduce your large pores. As a result, you can enjoy refreshed and attractive skin.
Rough Skin Due to Shaving
On average, men who shave subject their skin to 16,000 shaves in a lifetime. That’s right! On one hand, shaving can help with exfoliation but it also means your skin becomes more sensitive and reacts faster. Daily shaving can also cause irritation as it exposes your younger skin that is more sensitive.
How can you take care of your sensitive skin?
Sensicalm® is a skin tone treatment specially designed to meet the needs of men’s sensitive skin. Sensicalm® Care is helpful in dealing with shaving-related issues as it soothes your skin and protects it from the influence of pollution and sun exposure.
This treatment restores your skin’s natural pH balance, even its tone, and removes redness.
Sensicalm® spa products saturate and cure cells in the upper layers, moisturizing the skin and removing dead cells.
The niacinamide and ceramides, commonly found in Sensicalm products, are known for their ability to reduce redness and inflammation, helping to calm irritated or reactive skin.
