5 Skincare Products Women and Men Can Share

Should men follow a skincare routine? Definitely! Taking care of the skin is always important regardless of gender or age. This translates into youth and beauty. And just like women, men also need to invest in their skincare. One study found that almost half of skin care products are for male consumption (1). Men’s skin is slightly different from women's. It is 25% thicker and produces more fat (2). That is why they need specific products that help them improve the appearance and health of their skin. Here are a few ways we can help you out.

1. Face cleanse

Some men think they do not need to clean their faces before bed because they don't wear makeup. But, after a long day of work, whether outdoors or indoors, it is normal for impurities to accumulate on the skin. Therefore, using a Purifying Cleanser helps remove dead cells and nourish the skin. Always apply it with clean hands and gentle movements.

2. Moisturizing skin  

Men also get wrinkles, and even if perhaps this does not affect them, there is nothing sexier than a man with healthy, hydrated skin. Applying a Moisturizing Face Cream will help reduce the appearance of expression lines. Simply apply a small amount after washing and drying the face. It contains vitamin E, which keeps the face hydrated and helps achieve firm, youthful skin. (3)

3. Pay attention to details 

The skin around the eyes is much more delicate than the rest of the face for both men and women. Intense work and late nights can make them look tired or develop crow's feet. That is why, we recommend the PIEL ETERNA Revitalizing Eye Cream, which contains hyaluronic acid that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and revitalize your eyes. Who doesn’t like a seductive look? (4)

4. Go the extra mile

If women forget to take care of the neck area, men even more. It is one of the areas most exposed to weather changes and reveals the effects of skin aging. The Restorative Neck & Décolletage Balm moisturizes and tightens the delicate skin in these areas for a more youthful look. Use it after the Face Cream for maximum support.

5. Men also need collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and a major component of the skin. It plays an important role in strengthening skin and providing elasticity and hydration (5). Therefore, it is necessary to complement the skincare routine with collagen to support skin health and keep it radiant and rejuvenated.  

Skincare is no longer a woman’s thing. Today’s men break that stereotype and care about their health and appearance. With these tips and consistency, they can achieve lasting results and look better than ever!
