The difference between men's facial cleanser and women's facial cleanser needs to be noted

Nowadays, many men are paying more and more attention to skin care, and men's skin care products are emerging in an endless stream. The question is, why are the same facial cleansers divided into men's facial cleansers and women's facial cleansers on the market? Is there any difference between the two? And can women use men's facial cleansers? Let’s look at what to look out for.

The difference between men's facial cleanser and women's facial cleanser

The biggest difference between men's facial cleanser and women's facial cleanser is their function. Men's facial cleansers are more cleansing, while women's facial cleansers are more gentle. 80% of boys have oily skin, so most boys' facial cleansers are degreasing cleansers, which can effectively remove skin oil and dead skin cells. Girls have many different skin types and their skin is relatively delicate. Facial cleansers with too strong cleaning power are actually not suitable for girls. Therefore, most facial cleansers for girls are relatively gentle, with moderate oil-removing ability, and are mainly used for skin care.

Can women use men's facial cleanser?

Women can use men's facial cleanser. There is actually not much difference between men's facial cleansers and women's facial cleansers in essence. It’s just that product developers will enhance the cleansing power and exfoliating function of men’s facial cleansers based on the characteristics of male skin. One thing you need to note is that the cleansing ability of men's facial cleansers may be slightly greater than that of women's. Some girls may experience skin irritation after using them. This is because men's facial skin is thicker than women's skin. Therefore, a facial cleanser that has just the right cleansing ability for men may be much more irritating to women.

Why some girls can't use men's facial cleanser

Women with dry and sensitive skin should avoid using men's face washes. Because sebum is a very important natural moisturizer for protecting our skin barrier, and women with dry skin have less sebum secretion. Using men's facial cleanser will not only remove the sebum on the surface of the skin, but also take away part of the intercellular matrix of the stratum corneum, thereby damaging our skin. The skin barrier of sensitive skin is inherently sensitive, fragile and problematic, so it is not suitable for men's facial cleansers.

The correct way to use facial cleanser

Wash your face with warm water first, which can open the pores without damaging the natural oil layer of your facial skin. Squeeze an appropriate amount of facial cleanser into the palm of your hand, add a small amount of water, and then rub it thoroughly to create rich foam. Remember to make foam first and do not apply the facial cleanser directly to your face. Apply the foam evenly on your face and massage in circular motions. Then wash off the foam with warm water, rinse your face with ice water with both hands ten times to shrink the pores on your face, and then dry your face with a face towel.
