Men's Skincare in Focus: Unisex Secrets by DOC.BERGER | EFFECT

February 15 2024 – Dr. Luise Berger

In a world where awareness of self-care and health is steadily growing, it's time to dispel a widespread misconception: skincare is not just a privilege for women. Men's skin deserves just as much attention and care. At DOC.BERGER | EFFECT, we firmly believe that skincare is unisex and knows no gender boundaries.

The skin is our largest organ and plays a crucial role in our overall well-being and health. Regardless of gender, the skin is subjected to daily stresses - environmental factors, stress, and lifestyle all leave their marks. Therefore, it's essential for men to properly care for their skin.

Why Skincare Is Just as Important for Men

Frequently, it is assumed that men's skin requires less care than women's skin. However, this is a widespread misconception. In fact, men's skin has specific needs that should not be ignored. In this section, we will highlight the importance of skincare for men and debunk common myths.

Myth 1: Men's skin is tougher and does not need special care.

Truth: While men's skin is generally thicker and oilier, this does not make it insensitive to environmental factors, aging processes, and skin issues. Blemishes, wrinkles, and sensitivity can also occur in men.

Myth 2: Skincare is only for women.

Truth: Skincare is an essential part of overall health and hygiene, regardless of gender. Men benefit just as much from a good skincare routine as women do.

Scientific Facts About Men's Skin and Their Needs

Structure of Men's Skin: Men's skin is approximately 25% thicker than women's skin and has a higher collagen density. This means that men's skin ages differently but still requires specific anti-aging products.

Sebum Production: Men's skin produces more sebum, leading to an oilier complexion and a tendency toward acne and blemishes. This necessitates tailored skincare that cleanses the skin without drying it out.

Shaving: Regular shaving can irritate the skin and lead to issues such as ingrown hairs and razor burn. Soothing and healing skincare products are particularly important here.

It is clear that men's skin requires just as much attention and care as women's skin. An effective skincare routine can not only improve the appearance of the skin but also contribute to better overall well-being.

The Perfect Skincare Routine for Men

A well-thought-out and consistently applied skincare routine is the foundation for healthy, radiant skin. At DOC.BERGER | EFFECT, we understand the importance of following the correct steps in the right order to achieve optimal results. A fundamental rule in skincare is "from liquid to solid". This principle helps you apply the products in the most effective sequence, allowing each product to fully unleash its effects.

Cleansing: The cornerstone of your skincare

Start your routine with a thorough cleansing. The "Foam Intense" or "Foam Sensitive" cleansing foam from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT is the first step to rid your skin of impurities and prepare it for subsequent care.

Tonic: Double cleansing

After cleansing comes the tonic. Choose between "Tonic Intense", "Tonic Sensitive", or "Purifying Tonic" for blemished skin. These tonics help refine pores and prepare the skin optimally for the absorption of subsequent care products.

Serums: Targeted care

Now it's time for serums. They are the key to targeted care and penetrate deeply into the skin to address specific skin issues. Choose a serum that suits your skin type and needs.

Retinol Serum: An important step in combating skin aging

The Retinol Serum is an indispensable part of your evening routine. It promotes skin renewal and effectively combats signs of skin aging. Apply the Retinol Serum in the evening after cleansing and other serums. Note that retinol can make the skin more sensitive to light, so evening application is preferred.

Day and night care: The final step

Complete your routine with the "Anti-Pollution Day Cream" in the morning and one of our night creams – "Night Cream Light" or "Night Cream Rich" – in the evening. These products seal the previous care steps and provide long-lasting hydration and protection.

By following these steps, you ensure that your skin is optimally cleansed, cared for, and protected. Our unisex skincare routine at DOC.BERGER | EFFECT is designed to meet the needs of every skin type and promote skin health.
