Men’s skincare is one of the let talked about the topic but this does not prove that males do not need to take care of their skin. Just like women, men too have skin problems, sensitivities and their skin demand personalized care and treatments. Dr. Pavithra, a reputed dermatologist associated with Skin Beauty Pal explains that men’s skin texture is different than women but it also gets affected by external and internal factors. Pollution, exposure to sun, diet and lifestyle choices affect men’s skin adversely and leads to skin problems and even serious skin diseases. Hence, irrespective of gender, taking care of the skin is important for all human beings.
Common skincare problems in men:
Dr. Pavithra states that Pimples and acne are one of the most commonly reported skin problems in men. Most of the men are ignorant towards their skin. They do not think that they demand skincare but when they experience acne breakouts, they need expert advice.
The common reason for acne in men is hormonal changes in the body, lack of skincare and dietary changes. Most men nowadays consume dietary supplements when working out in a gym to get a fitter body. These supplements, when not consumed under expert supervision, can cause acne.
Pigmentation is another skin problem faced by men. It is a skin condition when the colour of the skin changes in some specific areas and you can see patches of different colours on the skin. Most commonly, the skin colour changes in the sun-exposed areas, along with underarms, around the neck and back of the elbows. It is recommended to use an SPF 30 & above sunscreen to prevent sunburn and pigmentation.
Clinical treatment for men skin conditions:
Chemical peels and laser treatment is an effective way to treat both acne and pigmentation in men. “We consider a range of factors when deciding the right chemical peel or laser treatment option for our patients”, says Dr. Pavithra.
“Skin texture & structure assessment is the first step that helps us determine the type of skin and identify the right chemical peel option”, she adds.
Beard shaping services are also in great demand. The procedure is helpful in reducing the thickness of beard hair in men. We use laser hair reduction to eliminate beard hair from thick regions. The beard is also professionally shaped to make the men more presentable, as per their preference.
Home care for better skin:
While clinical skin treatment and skin enhancement plans work miraculously, there are several home care tips that can also help in achieving flawless skin in men. A healthy and balanced diet is the key to healthy skin. Also, excess smoking and alcohol consumption can also lead to poor skin texture and health. Quit smoking if you want to have a healthy body and skin.
Besides this, Dr. Pavithra recommends following a personalized skincare plan. As every man has different skin textures and needs, the skincare plan must address specific requirements of the skin.
