Men Have More Delicate Skin Than Women!

April 30th, 2008 by admin

It’s a fact. Men’s skin is more delicate than women’s.

Yep, you heard right! The daily shaving ritual aggravates the skin, destroying the hydrolytic film on the skin’s surface, thereby increasing dryness and reducing the skin’s natural protection. What’s more, men - especially outdoor men - tend to expose their skin to a torturous array of damaging conditions including sun, wind, water, salt, building products, chemicals, cuts, scratches, and grazes.

It’s no wonder, then, that the man of today is more concerned about his skin than ever before. Like his level of fitness and health, his apparel, and his grooming, a man’s skin says a lot about him. Unfortunately, this new-found awareness is leading some men to the conclusion that they should be using their wives’ skincare products. This is a mistake! A man’s skin is different to a woman’s, so it needs to be treated differently.

Why is men’s skin different to women’s?
Before we can talk about how natural men’s skincare caters to men’s unique needs, we need to understand what those needs are.
Why is men’s skin different to women’s skin? There are four main differences between men’s skin and women’s skin:

. Men have thicker skin (although many women would beg to
differ)
. Men have oilier skin
. Men have more delicate skin
. Men’s skin has smaller sebaceous glands

Why natural men’s skincare?
There’s little point using a skincare product which is made for a woman’s skin. Quality-made natural men’s skincare addresses the differences between men’s skin and women’s skin (without turning skincare into a tedious, never-ending chore).

A quality men’s facial scrub is formulated to combat the drying effect of shaving while at the same time exfoliating and replenishing the skin’s natural defenses. A men’s soap contains specially selected oils and organic ingredients which not only cleanse but which also accelerate healing. Men’s shaving supplements leave the face feeling fresh and moist, not dry and aggravated. And of course, men’s all-in-one face and eye moisturizers provide convenient yet dynamic skin rejuvenation while simultaneously minimizing the damaging effects of excess sunlight.

Quality natural men’s skincare doesn’t contain chemicals which strip out the skin’s natural moisture. It doesn’t contain petrochemicals, sulphates, and chemical preservatives which can have an hormonal impact. It doesn’t contain artificial fragrances and parabens. In fact, quality natural men’s skincare contains only pure and organic ingredients. It consists of a blend of essential oils, vitamin extracts, spices, beeswax, and pure oils which is tailored to the specific needs of a man’s skin and a man’s environment and lifestyle.

As a result, a quality natural men’s skincare range can make a man’s skin feel less irritated, dry, and itchy. It can maximize the skin’s elasticity, and enhance the complexion. Perhaps most importantly, it can make it far more pleasant to a woman’s touch.

Conclusion
As it turns out, men need skincare just as much as women, maybe even more. Their skin is more delicate and it is continually exposed to damaging conditions. But because a man’s skin is thicker and oilier and has smaller sebaceous glands, it needs a tailor-made skincare range. So when it comes to skincare don’t settle for second best. A man’s skin needs a natural men’s skincare range - a range which reduces dryness and irritation, replenishes natural defenses, enhances skin rejuvenation, and makes his skin all the more touchable.

Beauty Care - What Is Sweat

April 29th, 2008 by admin

Sweat is body’s natural defense to maintain the body temperature. Sweat normally contains water, and very small amounts of salt, urea, sugar and ammonia. By sweating body cools itself of the heat that may get generated because of outside temperature, physical work, and emotional stress. Some diseases can also cause sweating. For that you should consult your doctor.

Over and under sweating- some of us may suffer from over sweating (hyperhidrosis) or very less or no sweating (anhidrosis). Very low sweating may be life threatening, while over sweating may sometimes be caused by some severe body problems.

Types of sweat- our body has two types of sweat glands- eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands. Eccrine glands are distributed all over the body. Apocrine sweat glands are located on the scalp, armpits and the genital area. These glands don’t produce much fluid. Sweat is generally odorless. Most of the times, it is the bacterial disintegration of sweat of both the types that produces odor.

To avoid odor because of sweat, the best method is to keep skin dry. Good hygiene will not allow bacteria to develop and multiply. Change of clothes after sweating is another method, because clothes carry sweat and can cause odor. If you have excessive sweat or are getting troubled by sweat, please consult your doctor who may suggest different methods that may include use of antiperspirants, botox injection, Iontophoresis and in rare cases surgery.

Sweat is not a big problem for most of us. It is the odor that is the bigger irritant. Keep your body clean at all the times and take basic care and you will find most of the problems disappearing. Deodorants do not reduce sweat but only mask the odor with fragrance. the need is not to mask but to stop bacterial disintegration of sweat and if sweat is excessive, to consult doctor and get treated.
