What's different about men's skin?
Every human on the planet has an "earth suit" but there are some unique and key differences we'll discuss here when it comes to men's skin.
Physical Differences
Pores and Oily Skin
Male skin has larger pores, which can make it oilier and more prone to impurities and acne. At the same time, men also have more active sebaceous glands and therefore more pores than women. On top of that, men usually have greater sebum (a natural oil the body produces) production, up to twice as much as women, and this often results in male skin being oilier and shinier.
Skin Thickness
On average, male skin about 20% thicker than female skin. It also usually contains more collagen which can give it a tighter and firmer appearance.
However, around age 25-30 the male body starts to decline, and the collagen content in male skin continually decreases. In female skin, this becomes noticeable later in life, especially after menopause. At that point, female skin becomes even thinner and the effects are more pronounced compared to male skin because collagen decline is more uniform in men.
Skin Aging
The hands of time are ticking for all of us, but how does aging affect male skin? While signs of aging may start to appear later in life for men, they rapidly reveal themselves once they do. It's important for men to be "proactive" when it comes to skincare and stay ahead of the aging game. Though this may occur later for men, wrinkles can and will become more pronounced as time marches on.
The Basics: A Starter Skincare Routine for Men
Let's clear up the biggest misconception - skincare doesn't have to be complicated. Before we dive into Neitra's remarkable products, let's discuss the simple steps that make an effective skincare routine for men. We've created a straightforward approach, focusing on four essential steps:
- Cleansing: Begin your routine with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and excess oil.
- Exfoliating: Exfoliators help eliminate dead skin cells, promoting a smoother and brighter complexion.
- Toning: Toners balance the skin's pH levels and prepare it for better absorption of moisturizing products like serums.
- Serum Application: Serums contain concentrated active ingredients that address specific skin concerns.
Less is More: Our Simple And Effective Routine.
We've just listed the four basic things you need to do, could it be any easier? Yes! You can cut it down to just three steps and bring in the fourth from time to time - and even better...this routine will take you less than 10 minutes a day!
One thing we want to tackle right out of the gate is Exfoliation. While it is a valuable step, it can have adverse affects on your skin, especially if you have acne.
How often should you exfoliate your face?
Everyday, dead skin cells will naturally accumulate on your face and if you don't clean your skin, this will clog pores. While exfoliation does help clear your pores, frequency of use, methods and ingredients in many exfoliators can irritate your skin. This can actually cause more problems and worsen your complexion leading to irritation and breakouts.
Remember this, as we get older, our skin usually becomes duller because our skin "turnover" simply slows down with age. By exfoliating, we can actually see improvement in the radiance of our skin but over-exfoliating can cause dryness and irritation. Keeping this in mind, we suggest starting out slow, (especially if you're new to this) by exfoliating about every 10 days. You can judge how your skin reacts and perhaps move to once a week if needed.
Now you're understanding this incredibly simple but effective routine that will take less than 10 minutes a day to transform and maintain healthy skin.
And with exfoliating being the one step you don't need to do daily, that leaves the "Three Amigos" - Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing.
Seriously, absolutely anyone can master this process - let's get to it!
The Benefits of Face Cleanser for Men
Neitra Body Botanicals' cleansers are crafted with precision, offering a refreshing and invigorating start to your skincare routine. Key ingredients such as organic apple cider vinegar, rose hydrosol and organic aloe vera juice, work in harmony to cleanse the skin without stripping away its natural moisture. Using a simple face cleansing gets this routine off to the most effective start.
- Apple cider vinegar - helps balance your skin's pH levels, stimulates circulation and can even help reduce hyperpigmentation.
- Rose hydrosol - its antioxidant-rich profile, helps soothe skin inflamation, reduce redness and helps hydrate the skin.
- Aloe vera juice - renowned for its anti-inflamatory, soothing properties, calms irritated skin and reduces redness, making it an excellent ingredient for men with sensitive skin.
Exfoliate for a Fresh Start
Exfoliating is a crucial step in any skincare routine, and our Face and Body Scrub is designed to provide a gentle yet effective solution. Neitra's formula includes organic rice flour and organic sugar to ensure thorough removal of dead skin cells, revealing a smoother complexion.
We use organic rice flour in our formula because it's is an excellent exfoliant. It has a slightly coarse texture that gently scrubs away the outer layer of skin, revealing soft and glowing skin underneath. Regular exfoliation with our Face and Body Cleansing Scrub not only unclogs pores but also allows better absorption of subsequent skincare products.
The Best Face Toner for Men
Often underestimated, toners play a crucial role in maintaining skin health. Neitra's products are some of the best natural face toners because they're formulated with botanical extracts like organic aloe vera juice, witch hazel and rosemary water, to provide a refreshing and hydrating experience that won't irritate your skin.
- Witch hazel - a natural astringent, helps tighten pores and reduce inflammation, making it an excellent choice for those prone to acne.
- Organic aloe vera juice - known for its healing abilities, promotes skin regeneration.
- Rosemary hydrosol - with its antioxidant properties, tones and rejuvenates the skin.
