Father’s Day is fast approaching and Naturalia Beauty wants to make sure you have the perfect little gift that will make your father, grandfather or father-figure happy, and their skin healthier.

Read more to understand how skin differs between man and woman and how men can create the perfect skincare routine.

• Collagen content and skin tone

First of all: what is collagen? Collagen is a structural protein that gives strength and elasticity to the skin. Women’s skin start to loose collagen from the menopause years (around 2% every year). Men’s skin feels firmer even in older age because it is about 20% to 25% thicker than women’s skin. This is partially due to higher levels of collagen, which start to decrease at about 1% per year after 30 years of age.

What is truly important, whether you are a man or woman, is diet and lifestyle choices. Eating a balanced diet, sleep, exercise and a clean environment does make a difference in both physical health and skincare.

• Skin Type and Sebum

Men are generally more prone to acne and their skin is usually more hydrated and less dry as opposed to women. These two characteristics are both partially due to higher production of sebum in men’s skin. In fact, men have larger sebum glands than women, whose skin usually becomes less oily after puberty.

Men’s skin is 25% thicker than women’s thanks to testosterone. It’s a curse because this means you need much more powerful men’s skin care and grooming products as women’s products are formulated for their delicate, thin skin.

Whilst excessive sebum can lead to acne and clogged pores, it also helps the skin stay hydrated. So men are far less prone to having dry skin than women. This really plays well for men as they are notoriously paying less attention to their skincare. On the other hand, Harvard Health Publishing states that men are less likely to use sunscreen as compared to women.

1. Cleanse

One thing dudes have gotten right is not washing their face every single morning. This is because washing too much can ruin your skin’s natural oils.

But this only works if you wash every night. We start each day with a clean slate, so why not let your skin end on a fresh note, too? Don’t let dirt and pollution soak into your pores overnight.

If you have sensitive skin we recommend Instant Face Cleanser: with its naturally soothing ingredient, it cleanses the skin without stripping it of natural moisture.

If you have oily skin, opt for Dermo Purifying Foam, designed to remove excess sebum and help you maintain unclogged pores.

2. Repair

Our skin takes a beating over time, thanks to free radicals causing oxidative stress, like air pollution

cigarette smoke, industrial chemicals, UV rays and shaving. To help repair your skin from stress, you can use After Shave Cream. This restoring face cream rebalances the skin pH level to prevent ageing and bacteria overgrow.

3. Moisturize and protect

In the a.m., follow up your antioxidant serum with a moisturizer that can protect you from environmental stress, especially when you are out and about. Urban Defence is perfect for this. Its formula is designed to prevent oxidation and keep your skin free of toxins.

With these few tips and tricks you should be able to build the perfect Men's Skincare routine.
