Men’s cosmetics information


Who is longer in the bathroom? Time is changing, most men today give the answer: “Of course, my wife. Who else?!” The men in recent years, however, have not really noticed that this claim is as no longer true. Secretly, quietly. Thus ”man” entered twenty years ago a cosmetic studio and the sneering remarks in family and friends he got for sure. Hard to believe: But until the early 80s was the popular belief that men didn´t required any special cleansing creams. They are natural so beautiful :-) .


In the mid-80s then a revolution came up: The cosmetics industry discovered man. Now customers developed a rapid pace in a variety of special care. Previously the cosmetic needs of man did not reached out more then aftershave and deodorant. Today the beauty industry offers for men: beauty care for the man (face cream, facial scrub, perhaps even a cream for tired eyes), perfume, and do not forget hair gel. Many men go today with their skin problems, or maybe just to spoil yourself with more self-evident to the beautician.


Men become vain. A neat appearance is important for the professional advancement. Women also like to see it, if men are maintained and they are happy if men maintain everyday.The skin layer is thicker and the skin surface is coarser. Through daily shaving the male skin is heavily burdened. The biggest strain is the electric razor. By contrast, the wet shaving removes the top layer of skin. In order to spare the skin specific facial peelings and after-shave lotions for men were developed. Another note on peeling. Ingrown hairs are exposed by peeling and shaving away. Male skin is oily and has big pores.


Reason: men have more and larger sebaceous glands. The skin is stimulated to produce more fat. As a rule, man should use creams or lotions with a low fat. Women creams, however, are usually very fat. The appearance of male beauty products is another than for women. Men do not like the elegant potty in colorful, perhaps even shrill colors. Practical things, like tubes with snap closure will be favored. It starts with shopping. Female turf is the perfumery. Men just go to the supermarket or the drugstore around the corner. In the context of the product shave man finds the necessary care products for skin and body. Men today also conceal their “little” flaws.
