Men's skin Vs. Women's skin

A man's skin is 20% thicker than a woman's skin because of its rich collagen content. It is therefore more resistant than a woman's skin to the effects of the sun and other environmental factors such as air pollution. Hence a man's skin needs to be protected effectively and daily.

Generally men skin is oilier due to more active sebaceous glands and has larger pores. Their skin has a richer blood supply, and a tendency to sweat more than women. Also men's skin is less prone to wrinkles.

The skin aging process is the same for men and women, but for men it occurs later and is more marked.

In a man's skin, the dermis is thicker and richer in collagen, and the epidermis is often more oily. Therefore, it's more resistant than a woman's skin to the effects of the sun and other environmental factors.

After a man becomes older (about 40 to 50 years), the dermis layer of a man's skin thins; the collagen level decreases too, causing deeper wrinkles to appear.
