The Best Skin Care Routine for Male Skin

Men’s skin has unique needs - from higher oil production and thicker texture to shaving-related irritation. The right skin care routine can help keep skin balanced, healthy, and protected.

How Men’s Skin Differs From Women’s Skin?

Men have more hair follicles on their face – hence facial hair and shaving.
Men have thicker skin – literally. This is due to higher levels of testosterone.
The texture of male skin tends to be rougher than women’s.
Sebum production is higher in male skin (due to androgen secretions), which is why men typically have oilier skin (and often, more challenges with long-lasting acne).
Male skin has a higher collagen density than female skin. (Lucky men!)

So yes, it is possible that men age more gracefully than women – but not without the right skin care regimen! Here are some of our top skin care tips for him.

Simple Men’s Skin Care Routine

Cleanse: A good daily cleanse will keep pores clean and as tight as possible. Our Purifying Gel Cleanser is perfect every morning or evening.
Calm Razor Burn: For those men who shave daily, this creates a mild exfoliation of the skin, which can help products penetrate more effectively, but also can lead to inflammation and irritation. Using a soothing after shave product to minimize razor burn and ingrown hairs is essential, and our Skin Repair Gel is just perfect daily!
Treat: The eye contour will always give your age away, regardless of gender. Our Tightening Eye Gel is lightweight in texture, and perfect to minimize under-eye bags and puffiness.
Hydrate and Protect: While male skin is oilier than female skin, hydration remains important, in particular with age: even oily skin can become dehydrated, especially after shaving and sun exposure. A lightweight cream like the Kantic Light Clarifying Cream is formulated for oilier skin types, including for men, and our Protective Day Cream SPF23 is the perfect alternative if you are looking for sun protection.
Add Body Care: Finally, hands and feet must always be well cared for. Our Dry Skin Balm is perfect to prevent dry cuticles and cracked heels, leaving your skin soft, but not greasy feeling. (PS - this is the perfect Father's Day gift for every Dad!)
