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.
1. Cleansing: The foundation of your routine
Start your skincare routine with a thorough cleanse. The Foam Intense or Foam Sensitive from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT removes dirt, oil, and impurities while preparing your skin for what follows.
2. Toning: The second step of cleansing
After cleansing, apply a toner. Choose Tonic Intense for normal, oily, or blemish-prone skin, or Tonic Sensitive for dry and sensitive skin. Our tonics help refine pores and balance the skin – setting the stage for optimal absorption of serums and creams.
3. Serums: Targeted care for individual needs
Serums are the powerhouse of any skincare routine. They penetrate deeply into the skin and target specific concerns. Choose a serum that matches your skin type and goals – whether it’s hydration, clarity, firmness, or balance.
4. Retinol Serum: A key step in your nighttime routine
The Retinol Serum is an essential part of your evening skincare. It supports skin renewal and helps reduce visible signs of aging. Apply it in the evening after your regular serum. Since retinol can increase photosensitivity, it’s best used exclusively at night.
5. Moisturizer: Lock in hydration and protect your skin
Finish your routine with a day or night cream. Use the Anti-Pollution Day Cream in the morning to protect against environmental stressors, and one of our targeted night creams in the evening to support regeneration. These final steps lock in moisture and reinforce your skin barrier.
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.
