Taking care of your skin is no longer just a women’s concern. More and more men are paying attention to their appearance and want to maintain a youthful look for longer. One of the simplest ways to achieve this is by taking care of your facial skin. Why not turn your nightly skincare routine into a shared ritual with your loved one — a different kind of quality time together? Spending about 10 minutes each evening improving and maintaining your appearance can also have a positive effect on your relationship. 😉

Differences between men’s and women’s facial skin

Men’s facial skin is about 15–25% thicker, rougher, and darker than women’s. Their skin also contains more sebaceous glands. As a result, their pores are larger and more visible than women’s. Due to higher sebum production, men’s skin is also more prone to clogged pores, blackheads, and acne.

By the way, did you know that the only area where men’s and women’s facial skin is similar is around the eyes? Therefore, just like women, men should also use an eye cream to help reduce and prevent signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Berrichi eye cream contains powerful active ingredients that target both dark circles and wrinkles effectively.

Beneath our skin lies a layer of so-called “good fat” that helps keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful. For women, this layer begins to diminish around the age of 30, while for men, it starts around the age of 35. This is the time when we begin to notice the first changes — the skin starts to lose its firmness, wrinkles appear, and other annoying skin issues may arise. Although this process begins a little later for men, its effects tend to become visible more quickly and more prominently. Compared to women of the same age, men’s wrinkles are deeper, and their skin becomes thinner faster.

Even though men don’t wear makeup daily, their skin is still exposed to various pollutants. For example, screen radiation and air pollution can actually be even more harmful to the skin than sun exposure or frequent makeup use. Air pollution particles are about 20 times smaller than our skin pores, allowing them to penetrate deep into the skin layers, which leads to premature aging and clogged pores.

What should men’s skincare look like?

All of this can be reduced and prevented with proper skincare — just like for women. A good men’s skincare routine should also include both a cleanser and a moisturizer. However, a cream alone often isn’t enough. If the skin isn’t cleansed properly, the cream cannot absorb because the pores are clogged and the skin is oily. That’s why it’s important to start with cleansing. Berrichi cleansing foam is also well-suited for men, as it is gentle yet effective in removing dirt and excess oil from the skin. Thanks to its natural formulation, there’s no need to worry about irritation or incompatibility with the skin.

Only after cleansing the skin is it time to apply a face cream. Berrichi For Men face cream has received plenty of praise for its soothing effect, especially when used after shaving, as it contains aloe vera, which helps calm and refresh the skin.

If you notice that your skin still looks dull, lifeless, or problematic despite your efforts, it’s worth consulting a beautician or dermatologist to find the right solution for your concern.
