FACT

Men's skin is 25% thicker than women's, produces significantly more oil and is physically damaged every time you shave. Testosterone drives all three, thicker skin, more active sebaceous glands and faster collagen production in your younger years. The same hormone that defines your biology also defines your skin.

IMPACT

More oil means shinier skin, larger pores and a higher risk of blackheads and breakouts. Shaving disrupts your skin barrier every single time, causing micro-inflammation, redness and sensitivity. And while men age later than women, when it hits it hits harder, deeper lines, more pronounced sagging, faster elasticity loss. Most men don't see it coming because they weren't paying attention.

DO THIS

Cleanse morning and night to manage oil and keep pores clear. Exfoliate 1—3 times a week to remove the dead skin cells that build up faster. Always follow shaving with a calming moisturiser, your skin barrier needs it. Stay consistent. The results build over time.
