SKIN DEEP
Made for Men
THWART DRY SKIN AND COMBAT EXCESS OIL WHILE MAINTAINING A YOUTHFUL GLOW By Tristan Dyer The world of men’s skin care has grown in recent years, with more products geared toward our unique needs. In comparison to women, men have thicker skin and significantly more collagen, which means it takes longer for our skin to show signs of aging. It is important to preserve these aspects while understanding that a man’s naturally large pores result in the increased production of oil and excessive amounts of sebum from sebaceous glands. We must turn to remedies that address these needs, including dense moisturizers and purifying cleansers. Keep an eye out for ingredients such as proteins and antioxidants, which will actively support and rehabilitate the skin. These six products are tailored to the modern gentleman and, together, provide a well-rounded daily regimen.
