Men's main skin type is combination, with oily skin being the majority. This type of skin is dark, rough, and has large pores. The distribution of oil and water on the skin is extremely uneven, with the T-zone being oily like an oilfield and the cheeks being dry like a desert. It can also be itchy at times, and in winter, white flakes may fall off when scratched. Sometimes, after staying up late or being exposed to the sun, red pimples may appear on the face...
Generally, the first thing men notice about women is their faces. But women also pay attention to men's faces, especially those with clear and radiant complexions. Therefore, men should not neglect skincare! Unfortunately, the survey data is not very flattering: one out of four men has oily skin, and one-third of them are under 35 years old. Men's skin problems come from...
Unhealthy lifestyle
Smoking, staying up late, various socializing with alcohol and meat, and irregular eating habits can all lead to hormonal imbalances and affect the skin. People who smoke regularly have dull complexions; those who stay up late have a bluish complexion and obvious dark circles; excessive socializing leads to oily skin; and irregular eating habits can cause acne.
Role of hormones
Male skin tends to be oily, with a pH value of about 4.5-6.0. Due to frequent hormone activity stimulating sebum secretion, more oil and sweat are produced. When the excessive secretions are not timely cleansed and cleared, the skin will break out in acne. Moreover, if acne is not treated promptly when it appears, permanent scars may form due to cell death.
Stress
Men face greater stress than women. Mental stress can lead to endocrine system disorders and long-term psychophysical dysfunction. As a result, the skin becomes dry, loose, loses its luster, and appears unhealthy. This phenomenon is called "disordered skin syndrome," which accelerates skin aging and hinders skin beauty.
Excessive outdoor activities
Men tend to enjoy outdoor activities such as golf, football, basketball, swimming, etc., which expose the skin to sunlight for a long time. Sunlight can damage the skin, causing sunburn and spots, and also accelerate skin aging.
Disregard for skincare
Many men believe that skincare is exclusively for women and that men should be more masculine without the need for skincare. As a result, problems such as dryness, dehydration, and oiliness arise naturally.
Beard grooming
The close contact between the razor blade and the skin can be somewhat irritating to the skin. Regular shaving causes constant shedding and renewal of facial skin tissue, speeding up skin metabolism and causing skin to become loose.
