Beauty Bites!: Men Vs. Women Skin Care

His and hers products line can be commonly found on our local drugstore and supermarket aisles, with packaging and product names that are targeted specifically for each sex. Big brands like Nivea (Nivea MEN) and LÓreal (LÓREAL MEN EXPERT) manufacture gender-specific products that use stereotypical ideas of masculinity and feminity to target shoppers. Men’s products tend toward science imagery and pro tool-shapes (e.g. Razors), while women’s packages showcase flowers, fruit and pink or purple colours. 

But what really separates men’s product from women’s is the fragrance. Each gender-specific product are certainly scented differently, but in terms of the ingredients (if you compare) for male skin versus female skin, it is really identical. 

However, that is not to say that the only difference in all sex-specific products is the fragrance. Female-oriented products may have added botanical ingredients because women may tend to pay more attention to holistic skin care or natural ingredients than most men do. Again, this is a difference of consumer desires, rather than needs. For the most of the part, male and female skin problems and solutions are indistinguishable.
