Understanding the specificities of men's skin
The skin of men differs from that of women in several ways, and these differences can influence the choice of skincare products:
-
A thicker skin: male skin is about 20% thicker than that of women. This means it can be more resilient but also more prone to overproduction of sebum;
-
Increased sebum production: the sebaceous glands in men are more active, which often leads to oilier skin, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin);
-
Regular shaving: shaving causes microtraumas, irritations, and sometimes ingrown hairs. It is therefore essential to incorporate soothing care into a daily routine.
The real priority? Identify your skin type.
Beyond these few differences between the skin barrier of men and that of women, the needs of the skin are actually unisex. The priority, when choosing a product, is to know your skin type:
- Normal skin: the skin is balanced, neither too oily nor too dry. It has few imperfections;
- Oily skin : the face shines, especially in the T-zone. The pores are enlarged and prone to blackheads or pimples;
- Dry skin: the skin itches after the shower, it feels tight, and areas of flaking may appear. The skin can be cracked, and is particularly sensitive to external aggressions;
- Combination skin: it is a combination of oily skin (T-zone) and normal or dry skin on the cheeks;
- Sensitive skin : it reacts easily to products, shaving, or climate changes. Redness and irritation are common.
The steps of a facial routine for men
To maintain healthy skin, it is essential to follow a structured skincare routine. Let's take a closer look at the key steps and the types of products to choose to take care of your skin!
Cleaning: the basis of all care
Facial cleanser is essential for removing impurities, excess sebum and traces of pollution accumulated throughout the day.
Choose a cleansing gel that offers a gentle peeling effect. Indeed, gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. It also improves the absorption of subsequent treatments.
The Grangettes purifying face gel cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, and it is ideal for all skin types. Ingredients derived from coconut, such as disodium cocoyl glutamate and disodium cocoamphodiacetate, act as cleansers to remove impurities and excess sebum, leaving the skin clean and radiant.

Hydration: an essential step
The moisturizing cream helps to maintain skin hydration and strengthen its protective barrier:
-
For oily skin: choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizing fluid. The Grangettes lifting serum and gel duo can be a great ally here;
-
For dry skin: opt for a rich cream containing nourishing agents like hyaluronic acid. The Grangettes anti-aging cream will surely take care of your skin deeply;
-
For sensitive skin: a soothing cream is essential. Soothing active ingredients like bisabolol will relieve and reduce the effects of tightness, redness, and tingling.

Sunscreen: the shield against aging
A daily sunscreen prevents damage caused by UV rays, responsible for premature skin aging. Choose a minimum SPF 30, suitable for your skin type.
How to choose facial care according to activity or lifestyle?
Your lifestyle influences your facial care needs. If you are athletic, sweating can clog pores. Choose a purifying cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
If you live in the city, pollution can damage the skin. Choose products containing antioxidants like vitamin C to fight free radicals.
