It sounds very sweet. A man on the night cream. And it is. Even a gentleman needs to give the fragile skin TLC. The facial skin that gets a well-deserved treatment before the eyes and the beak go. Nowadays you're really not the only one. And why should it be reserved only for the ladies? Men deserve a beauty sleep too, including proud skin maintenance. That's why it's now an essential part of many dudes' evening ritual at home.
Before bed, preferably a high quality, massage in night cream. In fact, when you stick to this regime, the skin really reaps the smooth fruits of it. Night is the perfect time for the body to recharge. Of course, the same goes for facial skin.
What are the benefits of night cream?
A good quality night cream has a number of fine properties. The right cream with purifying ingredients ensures that your skin cells degenerate less quickly, slowing down the aging process. Also, a good night cream provides excellent hydration for your facial skin.
Furthermore, with these creams you can perfectly cleanse your skin and get rid of blemishes and other discomforts. It is the perfect maintenance without being noticed. Let the ingredients plow into your grooves at night.
Do men have different skin than women?
Of course, as a man you can go digging in the jars of the ladies' cream but men's skin is substantially different from women's skin. In fact, men's armor is 15% to 20% thicker but also often has more to endure.
The fact that men's skin generally suffers more is also due, for example, to our type of work. In construction, in salt water, in the factory or for example on the (flat) land.
Or just take shaving (every day). You can damage the epidermis with that, too. And when you consume sunlight directly after shaving in the summer, it can be harmful because the pores are still open.
Men's skin is also different because we have more sebaceous glands and, partly because of this, beat the ladies in the number of (coarser) pores.
The disadvantage is that we also produce more (up to 2x as much) sebum than the ladies. Unfortunately, then again, men's skin is more prone to those nasty acne or other illegalities.
Do men get wrinkles and older skin sooner than women?
According to several studies, men's skin has been found to be thicker due to higher collagen production. This commodity is actually a protein found in men's skin, bones, teeth and tissue. Collagen has the property of keeping the skin elastic and supple. In men, until you are 50, the production of collagen is higher than in women. Hence the thicker skin in men.
Only the production of collagen, after age 50, deteriorates rapidly. The skin becomes more rigid, (deep) wrinkle formation is steady and the growth of puffiness, due to increasingly thinning skin, also takes off.
Wrinkles are really not reserved for ladies alone. Only in women does collagen production last longer so wrinkles are less likely to appear.
Does a certain lifestyle also impact men's skin?
A stress-free lifestyle has a positive impact on the skin. However, most men like a slightly rougher lifestyle. Smoking, for example. If anything it affects the skin.
The skin also struggles when you structurally go to bed too late. Too little sleep. A healthy lifestyle, sufficient sport and exercise, 1.5 liters of water per day and plenty of fruit and vegetables work wonders. In addition, a good night cream is the perfect support for skin care. Therefore, we have listed a number of quality products for you.
