Face it. Men are different from women.

Taken at face value that sounds pretty damn obvious, but, to get literally and specifically 'in your face', men and women have quite different facial needs. Diving in deep here, we can talk hormones and stuff and get scientific but, in the true spirit of manliness we focus on the superficial. To cut to the chase, mens facial skin care and why you need skin care products that are manly specific for manskin maintenance.

Why men need a skincare routine that's different from women.

Firstly, there are some substantial hormonal differences in the structures of men’s and women’s skin. An obvious one results in beard growth. Hormones aside, there's likely to be significant differences in lifestyle and personal habits. Because woman don’t have facial hair their facial skin is less likely to be exposed to the rigors of the razor: nicks, cuts and scars. Thusly, male skin is more prone to rashes, inflammation and oil. All directly as a result of shaving alone.

A Skincare solution for shavers should:

Soothe the skin before and after shaving

Soften and nourish your skin

Maintain moisture and oil balance

Replenish and protect your skin
