Wrinkle cream for men: a necessity or an ordinary PR move?
The beauty and youth of the skin have always been the main direction of the woman's concern for herself. But those who believe that the attention of their appearance is given mainly to women, are very mistaken in this regard. Men, like women, do not want to grow old before the time and dislike the first external signs of aging - wrinkles, which often appear by the age of 30. Therefore, a wrinkle cream for men is in demand and successful in the male half of the population, even though the price of this product is by no means low. And this has its own logic, because what can be more valuable than the youth of the skin, associated with beauty and health ?!
Indications of the wrinkle cream for men
Everyone understands that it is pointless to argue with the fact that aging is equally affected by both female and male skin. This is a physiological process, from which we can not hide, not hide. And yet it can be braked using special wrinkles and flabbiness of the skin, helping the body rejuvenate the epidermal cells, saturate them with strength and beauty, taking into account the features of the skin of different sexes.
Nevertheless, many people think that wrinkle cream for men is a kind of PR move, and a strong sex can successfully use women's creams with the same effect. This opinion is erroneous. In principle, you can use skin care products intended for women, but you should not expect the desired result from using them.
And the fact is that the men's skin, whether we like it or not, is still different from the female one. It is much denser than the female, which makes it difficult for the nutrients of the cream to pass into the deeper layers of the skin. That's why the structure of the cream for men should be different from the female cream. Due to its light consistency and delicate structure, men's creams are more quickly absorbed and have a greater penetrating power.
Daily shaving is the privilege of men - it also leaves its negative trace on the male skin, removing the protective layer, increasing the skin's susceptibility to damage and the negative impact of the environment. So, men's cosmetics for the face should be saturated with antiseptic, wound-healing agents, preventing the infection from getting through the lesions on the skin.
Because of shaving, the skin is deprived of its natural lubricant, eventually becomes thinner and becomes dry and wrinkled. Therefore, creams should have moisturizing and protective properties, vitamin complexes, glycerin, fatty acids.
Women's and men's skin is also characterized by fatness and hydration. Sebaceous glands in men, of course, less, however, under the influence of the male hormone testosterone, subcutaneous fat is much more active than in women. In youth, the male skin looks rather moist and elastic.
But with age, the production of fat slows down, the skin becomes drier, and wrinkles begin to appear on it. Moreover, in men this process is started earlier than in women, but due to the peculiarities of the male skin, its manifestations are not so obvious initially. Over time, wrinkles both on the forehead and in the corners of the eyes become deeper and more noticeable, and this does not paint any women or men.
It is erroneous to consider that indications for the application of creams against wrinkles are changes in the skin at this stage of wilting. Fighting the already existing wrinkles is not easy and not as effective as preventing age-related changes in the skin, which is recommended to begin no later than 30 years. A cream for men from wrinkles around the eyes requires an even earlier start of use from the age of 25, when there is even no hint of wrinkles.
The need for anti-aging creams in men is caused by many factors. These are metabolic disorders caused by physiological factors or negative external influences. Harmful habits, such as alcohol abuse and especially smoking, always leave their unattractive traces on the skin.
Many men are employed in industries with harmful working conditions, which adversely affects their skin, causing premature aging. Its contribution to the reduction of the protective properties of the skin is made by an unfavorable ecological situation, prolonged exposure to UV rays.
All of the above suggests that to pay attention to their skin, men need not less than women. And a cream from wrinkles for men will be a good helper in this matter. It will help to improve the men's skin, make it smooth and more elastic, giving a truly male fragrance, which is another important feature of this male cream.
Release form
Complexity can arise when choosing a suitable cream, because for the final evaluation of its effectiveness, it takes time, at least 3-4 weeks. Nevertheless, whoever does not take risks, he does not drink champagne. The names of anti-wrinkle creams for men are not as numerous as for women, however, many self-respecting cosmetic companies consider it their duty to take care of the male half of the population and to arrange the production of men's facial and neck care products.
