Besides having facial hair, there are structural differences between a man\u2019s skin and a woman\u2019s. Androgen (testosterone) stimulation causes an increase in skin thickness, which accounts for why a man\u2019s skin is about 25% thicker than a woman\u2019s. In addition to being thicker, a man\u2019s skin texture is tougher. Sebum (oil) and its production also differ. After puberty, sebum production is greater in males than females, which is attributed to androgen secretions and accounts for why men have longer lasting acne.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Dr. Michael Tick<\/b>, <\/a>regardless of age, men also have a higher collagen density than women. \u00a0\u00a0Dr. Michael Tick is a biochemist, laboratory director for The Institute for Skin Sciences and founder of Edimi<\/a>, a line of organic skincare and body care products sold at luxury spas and salons around the world<\/b>.\u00a0 \u201cBecause collagen content is directly related to the signs of skin aging, it has been said a woman\u2019s skin is about 15 years older than a man\u2019s of the same age. \u00a0However, men are less sun savvy than women, meaning they don\u2019t use sunscreens, and could contribute to why the \u201c15 year\u201d skin age difference is not readily noticed.\u00a0 UV damage from the sun can add years to a man\u2019s skin.\u201d<\/p>\n
