The term men\u2019s care, only some years ago, was a target of ridicule for many people. Water, soap, and perhaps shaving foam, that was all a man needed for his cosmetic care. Today, that has changed dramatically. More than ever before, men attach importance to a well-groomed appearance. By now, they know very precisely that their female partner\u2019s cream jar is no adequate choice. After all, men\u2019s skin is completely different. Therefore men\u2019s care formulations are clearly different from women\u2019s beauty products.<\/p>\n
Men\u2019s skin generally is 20 percent thicker than women\u2019s. Male skin has more connective tissue and collagen; therefore it maintains its firmness longer and aging starts later. Wrinkles, however, are more pronounced. Moreover, men are more prone to oily skin because of the higher number of sebaceous glands and pores. Male skin produces twice as much sebum than female skin often resulting in acne and impurities. Another particularity is the stress of daily shave. Statistically, a man has 16,000 shaves in the course of his life. Skin reacts increasingly sensitive and irritated, suffering from shaving pimples or razor burn.<\/p>\n
In view of these specialities it does not wonder that male skin has different needs and demands than female skin! Men\u2019s care by no means is an elaborated marketing strategy but a real necessity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An important aspect is that men\u2019s care is adapted to the skin type of each man. The first step in the choice of men\u2019s care products always is the skin analysis or a scrutinizing look in the mirror. Is my skin normal, dry, oily, or sensitive? Cleansing usually is the first step in the morning, just before shaving. Very dry skin should use lipid-replenishing cleansing milks. Oily skin prefers a gentle cleansing gel. When the skin is free of sweat and dirt, it is ready for shaving. A light shaving foam facilitates the glide of the blade over the skin and prevents razor nicks.<\/p>\n
Subsequently the complexion will profit by a good aftershave care. The product is applied to the rinsed and dried face and neck immediately after shaving. It calms the skin, prevents irritations and inflammations. A high-quality aftershave product combines the antiseptic function of a classic aftershave and the smoothing effect of a moisturizer perfect for the skin type. Preferably it should be free of alcohol which could irritate the skin even more.<\/p>\n
Aftershave fluids and gels have relatively light formulations and are suitable also for oily skin. They moisturize without leaving a greasy feeling and are quickly absorbed. Aftershave lotions usually have richer formulations and are ideal for skin burning after shaving. The milky-creamy texture of aftershave balms is extremely gentle and a real relief for sensitive, strained, and extremely dry skin.<\/p>\n
Shaving can cause burning sensations. An aftershave balm offers a comforting and soothing relief for sensitive, stressed, and very dry skin. The man who wants to give his skin a particularly beneficial treat applies anti-aging or moisturzing creams. Men with beard can use a varied range of special men\u2019s care for beard-grooming such as beard oil or beard wax. Men\u2019s care ritual is completed with painstaking dental care and deodorants. Today, there are not only deodorants but also toothpastes explicitely for\u00a0 men. The progresses in all segments of men\u2019s care are enormous.<\/p>\n
