Q: My man is really picky when it comes to his skin care products. Should he be?
MyChelle Dermaceuticals licensed esthetician Catie Wiggy responds:
When it comes to skin care, men and women have very different needs. So, yes, being selective about products is a good idea””especially for men who are prone to breakouts or have sensitive skin.
In general, men’s skin tends to be thicker, rougher and oilier than women’s skin. Men also have facial hair to deal with, which can lead to sensitivities and issues triggered by shaving.
Most men like simplicity, and MyChelle has a wide array of products to benefit men while keeping things easy. A few top picks include:
