Men’s skin is somewhat thicker than women’s, which also gives it more resistance to the elements. Men’s skin contains more collagen, which means that it does not age as quickly as women’s, but when it starts to show signs of ageing, it happens more quickly. Men’s skin is generally somewhat more oily than women’s and more prone to problems with spots, blackheads, shininess and large pores. Most men shave more or less every day, which gives extra wear on the skin and can make the skin irritated or result in rashes.
