In recent years, there’s been a noticeable shift in how men approach self-care. No longer confined to a quick splash of water and a shave, men across Chichester and beyond are embracing skincare routines that rival some women’s. At Buzby and Blue, we’ve seen a significant rise in male clients seeking treatments like CACI facials, massages, and tailored men’s skincare advice. It’s clear: men are taking their skin seriously.
Understanding The Differences: Men’s Vs. Women’s Skin
To tailor men’s skincare effectively, it’s essential to understand the physiological differences between men’s and women’s skin:
- Thickness: Men’s skin is approximately 25% thicker, making it more resilient but also more prone to oiliness.
- Sebum Production: Higher testosterone levels lead to increased oil production, which can result in larger pores and a greater likelihood of acne.
- Collagen Density: Men have a higher collagen density, which can delay the appearance of wrinkles but may lead to deeper lines once they form.
- Facial Hair: Regular shaving can cause irritation, ingrown hairs, and sensitivity.
These differences necessitate a skincare approach that addresses specific male concerns, such as oil control, soothing post-shave irritation, and targeting deeper-set wrinkles.
Crafting The Ideal Skincare Routine For Men
1. Cleanse
2. Exfoliate
3. Moisturise
Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser to hydrate without causing breakouts.
4. Sun Protection
5. Targeted Treatments
The Rise of CACI Treatments Among Men
- Muscle Toning: Enhances facial contours and reduces sagging.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines for a more youthful appearance.
- Skin Hydration: Improves moisture retention, combating dryness.
- Post-Shave Relief: Soothes irritation and reduces ingrown hairs.
