Thicker by 20-25% compared to females, also tougher skin
Larger pores = oilier shinier sweatier and dirtier. Also more acne and blemish prone.
Our skin’s rate of aging is FASTER compared to a female. Collagen and elastins start dropping at 26 yrs old
Regular shaving stresses out the skin causing irritation and skin sensitivity
Given Filipinos generally have brown skin = more prone to dark spots, melasma and pigmentation compared to fair skinned individuals
Generally, men are less regimented when it comes to using sunscreen, higher levels of UV exposure
