In the past, seeking beauty and skin care were considered to be things that only women could do. In that era, men at least had to be neat and tidy, but many men were unkempt and did not think there was anything wrong with it. But now, in this modern era, the differences and integration between men and women are becoming stronger. Being a refined man has become a requirement of the times. Men's skincare has become an elective course for you!

A renowned dermatologist, his expertise is considered to be one of the most influential in foreign countries. He has written beauty books such as "Becoming Beautiful with Dr. Dennis Gross" and "Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Bible."
The popular term 'cell phone girl' came up during conversations with female friends, but they disagreed, saying it wasn't necessarily due to men. Sometimes when we think about it, it makes sense. Male counterparts often complain — skincare products are made for women, and products designed for men are unappealing! Actually, times have changed; it's just that you haven't noticed. Everyone says cosmetic brands only cater to women, but little do people know that skincare brands actually target male consumers more seriously. There are plenty of good products available specifically for men.
There isn't much difference between men's skincare products and general skincare products.
Of course, when talking about men's skincare products, one must be very honest: from the perspective of product formulation, there isn't much difference between men's skincare products and regular ones. Women can also use men's skincare products. In fact, if you don't mind, using your girlfriend's skincare products might not be a bad idea. As for the claim that men's skincare products contain hormones, it's just a rumor. Only a few skincare products designed for young men may contain trace amounts of plant-based male hormones, but they are absolutely insufficient to affect a man's gender identity.
However, why do men's skincare products even exist? Because no man wants to worry about using pink-packaged skincare products, no man would like their face cream to smell like CHANEL No. 5, and no man would want to worry about applying the right amount. Fundamentally speaking, men hate ugliness too!
Fundamentally speaking, men hate ugliness! Many male friends secretly inquire about skincare tips every month but pretend that they don't need them on the surface. Men in foreign countries have it tough — they want to take good care of their skin but are afraid of being teased for lacking masculinity once they step out. They play at least two roles every day, which is exhausting! Men live for their appearance and sometimes die for it. Whether living or dying, it all revolves around this elusive and irreplaceable concept of 'face.' To put it bluntly, men's attitude towards skincare is wanting to look good but fearing the loss of face.
Black, white, and gray as the main tone
Therefore, manufacturers put a lot of effort into promoting men's skincare products. First, they must eliminate feminine colors, and all flashy colors are avoided. Men's skincare products from various brands are basically similar to men's clothing — black, white, and gray are the main tones, emphasizing texture and stability. The packaging design also avoids fancy and luxurious designs, opting instead for simple rectangular shapes to attract men's attention.
The scent of men's skincare products
Considering that men feel that using cosmetics is not manly enough, the fragrance must cater to men's preferences. Scents commonly used in women's skincare products, such as floral and rose fragrances, are absolutely forbidden. Currently, men's skincare products have two directions in terms of fragrance: either make the scent acceptable to men by using wood, tobacco, or aquatic scents, or completely remove any fragrance, making the skincare products odorless. This way, there's no need to worry about being teased as a "sissy" because of strong fragrances, so relax!
