The man has a thinner subcutaneous fat layer.
Men's skin may be more likely to respond to, or be more sensitive to, certain substances in skin care products. The stratum corneum of men's skin is thicker: about 24% thicker than women's skin.
The pH value of men's skin is on average 6.5. The skin is therefore slightly more neutral than women's skin. This makes the skin more vulnerable.
The pores of men's skin are larger. This slightly increases the risk of contamination and blockage.
Men's skin has a higher fat production. This increases the risk of acne.
Men sweat more. Men's skin is often very dehydrated. This increases the risk of skin dehydration.
The structure of the subcutaneous connective tissue is stiffer in men. This ultimately causes deeper wrinkles.
