Why is Male Skin Different?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe obvious difference is facial hair and shaving can lead to sensitivity as well as inflamed and painful ingrown hairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hormones also play a role in distinguishing the characteristics of male and female skin. The male hormone, Testosterone, causes an increase in thickness and skin feels tougher in texture. Sebum production is also greater in men, accounting for oilier skin and in some cases, longer-lasting acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that men have a higher collagen density, meaning that skin has the potential to stay younger-looking for longer. Unfortunately, the advantage is lost by many men because they don\u2019t use any sun protection and consequently, their skin suffers sun damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Look After Male Skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNo matter your gender, it\u2019s important to develop healthy skin care habits.

If these aren\u2019t removed, the skin follicles can become blocked, allowing sebum to become trapped and enabling bacteria to enter the skin cells. It probably won\u2019t surprise you to hear that this isn\u2019t great for the complexion, causing breakouts, inflammation, and blotchiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An effective cleanser prevents this from happening by lifting away all of the unsavoury debris on the surface, and by penetrating more deeply into the dermis, to clear any remaining oil. Thorough cleansing ensures that other follow-on anti-ageing products can also be absorbed more efficiently for maximum results. Kick-start your morning routine by washing your face with Obagi Nu-Derm\u00ae<\/sup> Fx Gentle Cleanser<\/strong>, the first item in this must-have men\u2019s kit.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Image\"](\"https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0002s_0002_Obagi_Nu-Derm_Fx_Gentle_Cleanser_Lifestyle-e1625585435135.jpg\")

There\u2019s also calming Aloe, rich in antioxidants and vitamins, which neutralises the effects of UV damage and early signs of ageing, whilst Glycerin soothes, and hydrates dehydrated skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antioxidant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re properly serious about having an anti-ageing skincare routine, you must include an antioxidant for its powerful anti-ageing properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every day, our skin has to defend itself against UV damage and environmental stressors like weather, chemicals, and pollution. Left unchecked, these stressors break down collagen and elastin, causing visible signs of premature ageing like fine lines and wrinkles. That\u2019s where antioxidants come in, protecting the skin\u2019s surface from oxidative damage. Step 2 of your daily skincare routine is to apply Obagi Professional-C\u00ae<\/sup> Serum 10%. <\/strong>Ideal for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin, the gentle yet nutritious concentration contains 10% L-ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), a supremely powerful antioxidant. This formula immediately penetrates the skin, instantly brightening the complexion and providing strong antioxidant protection to keep the skin looking youthful.<\/p>\n\n\n
