SKIN DEEP
Men literally have thicker skin than women; 25 percent. Androgens such as testosterone affect the thickness of the skin and how much sebum the skin’s sebaceous glands produce. Incorporating a serum into your skincare routine can make a real difference in the way your skin looks and feels. Serums are packed with active ingredients like brightening vitamin C, nourishing antioxidants and hydrating hyaluronic acid.
