Can men use snail essence? Do men have to use men's skin care products?

Although snail essence has a good repair effect, it also has a good beauty effect. Many brands have launched skin care products containing snail essence. So, can men use snail essence? Are snail essence skin care products divided into men's and women's categories?

Can men use snail essence?

Of course men can use it. Men also need skin care. Snail essence skin care products are not gender-specific. Moreover, the key to our choice of skin care products is based on our skin type, not gender. Caring for your skin without considering your skin type is "playing rogue" and is likely to make your skin worse.

Differences in skin color between men and women

1. Since androgen is the main factor leading to excessive oil secretion, boys generally have more oil secretion in their skin. Therefore, most men's skin care products on the market are mainly oil-control products.

2. Women's skin ages more easily than men's skin. According to research, women's skin ages 3-5 years earlier than men's. Therefore, women have greater anti-aging needs than men.

3. Men have a more active basal metabolism and a higher body temperature than girls, so they prefer some cool and non-greasy products in the summer.

Do men have to use men's skin care products?

1. We choose skin care products based on our skin type, not gender. Caring for your skin without considering your skin type is "playing rogue" and is likely to make your skin worse. Before using skin care products, we must have a certain understanding of our skin, such as whether our skin is dry, oily or combination, etc. Then why is there a concept of gender in skin care? Ultimately, it’s because most men and women have different skin types. However, this difference is not absolute, so it is a bit arbitrary to simply distinguish them based on gender.

2. The focus of skin care for men and women may be different, but men can also use women's skin care products when they have other skin care needs! If you don't consider the principle of the effect and just use men's skin care products because you are a man, many problems will arise. For example, most men pay attention to the refreshing feeling after skin care, so general men's skin care products will add alcohol, silica and other powders to control oil, so as to achieve the purpose of refreshing skin care. However, if you are sensitive to alcohol or just control oil blindly, your skin problems will not improve, but will cause more problems, such as acne and sensitivity. Therefore, for men, using only men's skin care products may sometimes cause new problems. Some targeted products in women's skin care products may be more suitable as long as they are suitable for the current skin type.

3. In addition, the accelerated pace of life has forced people to face greater pressure. Overtime and staying up late have almost become part of people’s daily lives. Carrying mobile phones with you all the time and working in front of computers for a long time are very harmful to human skin due to electronic radiation. Under such high-pressure conditions, some simple men's skin care products are certainly far from enough to meet the needs of male friends. Therefore, men and women are becoming more and more similar in their choice of skin care products.

Tips for men's skin care

Cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection can definitely meet the skin care requirements of most men, but when there are further needs such as whitening and anti-aging, don’t think that skin care is only a girl’s thing. Just choose products that suit your skin type. It has nothing to do with gender.

1. Cleaning: When washing your face, male friends should pay attention to choosing mild cleansing products. When shopping for facial cleansers, don't just choose those marketed for men. Just buy a milder amino acid cleanser and share it with the women in your family.

2. Moisturizing. Men’s skin care usually only uses lotion or a simple face cream, but moisturizing is really important and should not be ignored. Even though there are not as many tedious steps as women, you should still choose a lotion or cream with good moisturizing effect. Control oil when it’s time to control oil, and replenish moisture when it’s time to replenish moisture. Remember, when the skin is extremely dehydrated, the oil balance will also be disrupted.

3. Sun protection. Most male friends will find it strange to hold an umbrella, but they can wear a hat and sunglasses, which can greatly improve their appearance, killing two birds with one stone. In addition, male friends should also pay attention to the use of sunscreen. Sun protection is not only for appearance, but also to prevent sunburn, dermatitis and other symptoms.
