A man's skin is thicker than a woman's skin. This means that women are more vulnerable to damage of the skin caused by the sun’s UVA rays and is one of the principle reasons why female skin suffers more from sun aging
The skin on a man’s face is more delicate than for a woman. You wouldn’t think that this is the case. However, there are some reasons why this is true:
-mens skin tends to be exposed more often to damaging environmental elements
-daily shaving destroys the hydrolipidic film, leading to loss of natural lubrication and protection
-daily shaving also causes scraping and nicks
All of these factors result in mens skin becoming more sensitized than womens skin and more easily irritated.
BUT men can use any products from the women's range and vice versa, not much changes with terms to ingredients.
