   Difference between men and women’s skin  
   
There are a number of major differences in the skin of males and females, and because of the fact that these differences are there, the treatment of skin problems and the skin care products used are different for men and women. There are products which are designed specifically for men and women,

and using each others products is not advisable. But there are also some experts who say that if the products are of good quality, either gender can use each others products. There are six differences in the properties of skin of women and men. But there are certain properties of the skin which are also unique to each person because of factors such as heredity.

The oil glands in male skins are smaller than the oil glands of female skins, but despite that fact the skin of men is oilier as compared to the skin of women. The reason for this difference is that the male skin generates more oil secretions because of testosterone, which is a male hormone.

Another difference between the skins of men and women is that male skin is thicker as compared to the skin of women. Because of this the UV rays of the sun cause more damage to female skin as compared to male skin. The male skin is more delicate than female skin. This sounds surprising but this is true because of a number of different factors.
