Skincare For Men? Need Not Hell?
Skin care for men? The question from the above title comes to my mind when I'm having a good time taking care of my skin (especially my face) with the skincare products I'm currently using. I wonder if men also need skincare? And are they actually already using skincare? Approximately there is no skincare for men?
Men's Care?
Men have more day-to-day activities than women, for that men also need to take care of themselves and require treatment to appear confident in the public.
average male skin unlike many women who are sensitive to certain materials, so men can wear skin care products for women.
How important?
Certainly important, for men who hobby adventur is very important because more exposed to sunlight and dust it is very dangerous because it can arise menumpupkya dirt in the pores can cause acne.
Men's skin vs women's skin
Men's facial skin is 25% thicker than women because it is affected by the hormone androgen (testosterone). Hence skincare for men is always more "hard" than female skincare. Men with sensitive skin should not wear male skincare, they can wear a woman's skincare because the formula is softer.
Oil glands work also differ, oil glands (sebaceous glands) in men produce more oil because this gland is very sensitive to androgen hormones. That causes acne in men longer healed.
The density of collagen (the connective tissue component that maintains the elasticity of the skin) of the man is more dense than the woman. That is why it is said that the skin of women faster aged than men, even a woman could have skin 15 times older than men of the same age. However exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of men's skin as well.
Men's skin is more moist than women because men's sweat is more acidic (has a lower pH) due to more lactic acid content. Lactic acid is humectant that hydrates the skin.
Men also have 5 skin types.
Normal if not too dry / oily, the pores are not too visible, not sensitive.
Oily, if the pores are large & the skin is always shiny. Easy popping of blackheads & acne. Almost all guys have oily skin during puberty.
Dry if the skin feels rough, there are parts that are flaky (like cracked), and peeling. Dry skin should be careful in choosing a facial wash, should be a soft formula. Dry skin is less elastic and prone to premature aging.
Combination, usually dry skin on the cheeks but oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)
Sensitive, this skin is most susceptible to interference. One select product can make skin allergy and irritation. Redness, itching, swelling, rashes, extreme dryness, and throbbing are the problems that sensitive skin owners often experience when a product is misused.
FACE CLEANER
There are several kinds of facial cleansers, there is a bar (soap), liquid, cream. Which cream can manifold facial wash, facial foam, facial scrub. Do not arbitrarily choose a facial cleanser, should be completely tailored to the needs of the skin. Ideally the pH balanced (equal to the pH of the skin) is 5.5.
The shaped bar (bar soap) is usually somewhat vulnerable to the name of germ contamination. If you choose a soap bar, choose a moisturizing soap with emollient content such as glycerin, jojoba oil, olive oil and other vegetable oils. Now being blooming bar soap soap that is claimed to brighten the skin, such as papaya soap, rice soap. If a girl, I know a lot of that does not fit this kind of soap, not yet seen the result is on surrender because it feels really dry on the skin.
Liquid Soap. It's soft, good for teenage boys skin & troubled skin. For example Clean n Clear. pHisohex is an antiseptic soap that is pH 5.5 and good for acne prone skin, the price is not too expensive as a pharmacy.
Cream Soap. Must be a lot of pake, there are the kind of facial wash, facial foam, facial scrub. What is the difference? Facial wash is usually dipijatkan on the face that has been dampened. Facial foam is used in a way damaged first in the palm of the hand, after which the foam is rubbed into a wet face. Facial foam so many favorite guy because the steady foam so that the impression is cleaner. Facial scrubs contain small granules (scrubs) for exfoliation (removes dead skin cells). Facial scrubs are the type of daily scrub (can be used every day) there are also only recommended to be used 2 times a week. Follow the instructions on the packaging for maximum clean power and does not damage the skin.
SUNSCREEN
Ultraviolet rays are indeed harmful to the skin. Although his skin guys are more "immune" from girls to premature aging, too much UV rays can still damage your skin. UV B rays cause sunburn, initially feeling hot on the skin, skin becomes reddened and finally darkened. Lately many guys are afraid to add black so pake whitening products. But all the whitening products used will be useless if the skin does not have a solid protection against UV rays.
What is even more dangerous is UV light because it absorbs deeper into the skin, damaging the cells making it susceptible to premature aging & skin cancer. Skin cancer cases are now increasing because of global warming lho, really scary .. Dull skin is a sign of the beginning of aging process.
UV rays also make acne more difficult to heal or easily inflamed. It is true that, so my friends who went to the doctor for acne cases always prescribed sunscreen as well.
MASK
Many guys who like prestige use masks, because who likes maskeran usually girls. Another reason is lazy. Masks are now a lot of instant, bro .. The most practical that is in the form of sheet (sheet) and peel off (applied, after dry stay exfoliated). If you want a little pake powder mixed with water or a form of cream, if already dry must be rinsed. But according to the experience of girls yes, the mask powder more effective & effective than other masks.
Natural masks are also good, but keep in mind, not all natural ingredients are safe for the skin. Do not think because it's natural just play. Natural materials are not always superior to chemicals. Just like chemicals, natural ingredients can also cause allergic reactions and irritation.
Aloe vera: good for oily skin, to soothe the skin after sunburn, also reduce pigmentation (black spots) on the skin. Normally, aloe vera sap is rather itchy when applied to the skin. Differences with allergies yes .. aloe vera allergy is characterized by itching & redness, also rash & heat. If someone is allergic to onions & garlic, there is a possibility he also not suitable use aloe vera.
Lime & lemon: who does not know the benefits of lime & lemon? Everywhere it is said that both can brighten & reduce oil and acne. It should be noted, lemon & lemon juice is a strong acid whose pH is not suitable for the skin, its pH is about 2 while the facial skin is 5.5. Lime & lemon juice including irritating ingredients. Wearing lime juice & concentrated lemon can damage the skin. Irritant reactions include stinging, heat, redness, and itching. Skin red, dry and peeling, even acne can become more inflamed and multiply. When being spotty or breakout do not recklessly attach acidic ingredients to the skin.
Egg white mask: powerful to combat blackheads in some people. To be sure, egg whites are good for treating facial firmness. Not forever safe you know, and can not be used often. There was a friend of mine who breakout immediately after using egg whites, his face even more oily than before. Maybe it is allergic, or maybe clean it is less thorough that it invites bacteria.
