Characteristics of Men’s Skin & Skincare Items to Use [20s].

As we get older, our skin texture changes rapidly. If this is the case, it is only natural to adopt the best skincare products for that age group. In this issue, we will explain the key points of skincare and items to incorporate for men in their 20s.

First, check the characteristics of men’s skin!

Before explaining the characteristics of each age group, let’s first review the basics of men’s skin. If you are unfamiliar with it, check it out because its characteristics are different from those of women’s skin.

Characteristics of Men’s Skin (1) “Men’s skin has a lot of sebum! The amount of sebum is about 2~3 times that of women.

Men’s skin rapidly increases in sebum secretion from around puberty. By the time they reach 20 years of age, the amount of sebum secreted is about 2~3 times that of women, and they begin to worry about their skin becoming shiny and sticky. In addition, while women’s sebum levels decrease after peaking in their 20s, men’s sebum levels do not decrease significantly.

Men’s skin characteristic #2: “Men’s skin tends to be dry because it contains less moisture. This also causes the production of sebum.

While the amount of sebum is about 2~3 times that of women, the amount of moisture is said to be about 40% less than that of women. This can lead to dryness, which can cause other skin problems such as coarse skin texture and fine lines and wrinkles. Another characteristic of men’s skin is that the amount of sebum increases in an attempt to prevent dryness, causing pores to open easily.

Men’s skin characteristic #3: “Shaving damage, which is done every day, can amplify skin problems.

It is also important to remember that shaving, which is a habit of many men, can be very damaging to the skin. Depending on the shaving method, the surface of the horny layer and sebum may be removed more than necessary, which often causes skin problems. Shaving is also a major factor in the prevalence of dry oily skin (mixed skin) among men, where the T-zone, such as the forehead and nose, tends to be shiny, but the area around the mouth and face line is dry.

Explanation of the characteristics of men’s skin in their 20s, divided into the first half and the second half of their lives

Based on the aforementioned characteristics of men’s skin, here is a description of skin types of men in their 20s, as skin types and skin problems differ slightly even among men in their early and late 20s.

The first half of one’s 20s is the period when the sebum level is the highest!

As mentioned in the section on men’s skin characteristics, men produce about 2~3 times more sebum than women. This peaks in their early 20s. Skin problems caused by sebum include acne, open pores, and blackheads. If you skip skincare because you think “I’m still young, so I should be fine,” you may end up with acne scars that will never go away, so be careful. In particular, pore openings are difficult to heal without laser treatment at a beauty clinic, so if you can prevent them while you are in your early 20s, you should do so.

In the late 20s, the skin tends to become dry due to a decrease in moisture content.

There is no major change from the early 20s, but moisture levels gradually decrease and the skin becomes drier in the mid-20s and beyond. This can lead to an increase in sebum production and, in severe cases, skin problems such as redness and itching. In addition, as we age, the amount of moisture gradually decreases, so it is important to adopt a skincare regimen that addresses this.
