Skin is skin. So, how does one discriminate the need to use any skin care products based on gender?  Using skin care products is almost as important for men, as it is for women; infact even more. Their  entire skin care routine may not be as elaborate for men as it’s for women, but it’s a must. Absolutely  unavoidable. Men are not super concious about taking care of their skin. But, there’s a fine line between  that, just out of bed, carefree look and being sloppy and unkempt. 

Well we like our men tidy and concious, about themselves. They do not need to spend hours in front of  the mirror (sharing our sacred mirror space, is not an easy feat!) , but seeing them taking basic care of  themselves, for us, makes us go all weak in the knees!  

While streamlining your basic skin care products is vital and not a bad idea, one cannot skip or ignore the first basic step in any skin care routine, face cleansing. But do you know why is it a total must? 

Our face is undoubtedly the most exposed area of our body. It is bombarded and hit on, with various  environmental stressors all day, such as sun damage, pollution, dust, grime, sebum build up, sweat, extreme weather changes, impure or contaminated makeup etc. This continuous pounding of external  agents on our face causes our skin to look dull, tired and unhealthy. Also making it the perfect  playground for numerous bacterial growth and infections. Just rinsing our face with water is not enough  to get rid of all the deep seated impurities. Using a good herbal face wash can help you in getting rid of  all the impurities and grime from your skin and exfoliating your pores, leaving your skin clean, fresh and  healthy, by looking after it, with the goodness of plants and flowers. 

But, the question stands, will just any face wash work? No, men have different skin needs and  requirements than a women, because they have a different skin type. First, let us first know how their  skin type is different from women. 

• The pores on our face helps our skin to breathe better and it also allows our skin to absorb the  goodness and nutrition provided by various skin care products. Men have larger pores than  women, making it easier for impurities and grime to clog them up and cause bacterial infections. Men’s skin also produces higher sebum than women, making their skin greasier and more prone  to blackheads, whiteheads and stubborn pimples.

The cleansing and anti bacterial properties of lemon, prevents breakouts,  improves skin tone and maintains skin health.  

• Men have a skin that is over 20 percent thicker than a woman’s. This is due to a higher  testosterone level, as compared to a woman’s. Higher testosterone levels also mean, more of  collagen production. This high collagen production is the reason why men’s skin is firmer and  has a tighter appearance. While the collagen is produced in abundance, it is also lost regularly 

from a very young age. One can also notice higher pH levels in men skin, than a woman’s skin.  Men also have a pH level of about 5.8 which is marginally higher than a woman’s at 5.4.

• Men shave their faces regularly, if not everyday. Shaving often peels off the outer most layer of  the skin, known as Stratum Corneum. This outmost layer is basically our skin barrier, that helps  lock in our skins hydration levels and also protects it from harsh external environmental  elements. Damaging this skin barrier can lead to excessive skin dryness, painful dry rashes and  bacterial infections. To prevent this kind of skin reaction one needs an extremely hydrating and  soothing face wash that can alleviate such skin issues by restoring the skin barrier and soothing  the chaffed and irritable skin
