That&#8217;s up 6.7% from 2012 and 19% from 2009, making it one of the fastest-growing segments in personal care.

A man\u2019s skin also thins gradually with age, whereas the thickness of a woman\u2019s skin remains constant until about the age of fifty. After menopause, her skin will thin significantly.<\/li>\n<li>Men have a higher collagen density than women. Collagen density differences account for why women appear to age faster than men of the same age. Female skin on average is around 15 years older than men of the same age.<\/li>\n<li>The texture of male skin is very different than that of a woman\u2019s. Male skin texture is rougher and the stratum xorneum is thicker.<\/li>\n<li>Men do not develop the fine wrinkling seen in mature female skin but only coarse facial folds associated with subcutaneous fat loss.<\/li>\n<li>Men have larger pores and produce more sebum. Since men do not enter menopause, their sebum production remains the same throughout their life.<\/li>\n<li>Males produce more eccrine and apocrine sweat. Men sweat more than twice as much as women and are more prone to heat-induced sweating.<\/li>\n<li>Males have more lactic acid in their sweat, which accounts for a lower pH (.05 lower) compared to female sweat.<\/li>\n<li>Male skin tends to be better hydrated than female skin.<\/li>\n<li>Acne, dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are more common in males than females due to higher sebum levels.<\/li>\n<li>Male scalps produce 50% more sebum than female scalps.<\/li>\n<li>Men have a weaker scalp barrier function than women<\/li>\n<li>Males possess more deeply pigmented skin.<\/li>\n<li>Men have terminal hairs over their entire body from the face, chest and to the back of the feet.<\/li>\n<li>Men have more shaving related skin issues, including ingrown hairs and razor burn.<\/li>\n<li>Men have higher levels of testosterone, which can also effect collagen production, blood flow, and the number of granular cells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Opportunities<\/h3>\n<p>What skin problems, improvements or enhancements can you address with your male skin care product? Use this list to get started, and remember, it&#8217;s up to marketers to build awareness of the benefits that products offer and show how to incorporate them into daily grooming routines.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prevent pseudo folliculitis barbae (infected ingrown hairs).<\/li>\n<li>Prevent razor burn (folliculitis). Folliculitis can be prevented by disinfecting the skin before and after shaving, a practice not employed by most men.<\/li>\n<li>Create superior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=deodorant&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deodorants<\/a> for the body\/underarm. Hair on the body and face increase the surface area for organisms that can grow on the skin. In other words, it is much easier to control odor in a hairless armpit.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce skin oiliness and pore size. Reducing pore size can noticeably improve skin texture and many of the actives used also reduce sebum.<\/li>\n<li>Enhance skin barrier function. Male skin is chronically irritated and has a higher TEWL than female skin due to shaving.<\/li>\n<li>Enhance skin color.<\/li>\n<li>Slow beard\u00a0growth and reduce shaving frequency.<\/li>\n<li>Improve closeness of shave.<\/li>\n<li>Creation of non-greasy, fast-absorbing, daily wear<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=SPF&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> SPF<\/a> 15 or 30 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?k=moisturizer&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moisturizer<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Booth B., Real men don&#8217;t cry\u2014but they are exfoliating.
