Men’s Skin Health: Why Skincare Isn’t Just for Women
For too long, skincare has been marketed almost exclusively to women, leaving many men feeling it’s not something they need to worry about. But that mindset is shifting.
A Shift in the Skincare Conversation
For too long, skincare has been marketed almost exclusively to women, leaving many men feeling it’s not something they need to worry about. But that mindset is shifting.
At Irresistible Skin Clinic in Eastbourne, we’re welcoming more men through our doors than ever before – not just for appearance, but for health, comfort, and confidence.
In honour of Men’s Health Month, this article explores why men’s skincare matters, the most common skin concerns we treat, and how professional treatments – paired with advanced homecare from AlumierMD, such as the HydraGlow by AlumierMD Ultimate Skin Booster and EverActive C&E® + Peptide – can help achieve clearer, healthier skin.
Why Men Need Skincare Too
Skin is skin – but men’s skin has some biological differences that need specific care.
How Male Skin Differs
Thicker skin – up to 25% thicker than women’s
Higher collagen density – but collagen depletes faster with age
More active oil glands – leading to shine, blocked pores, and breakouts
Shaving stress – daily or frequent shaving can cause irritation and ingrown hairs
These differences make regular skincare and professional treatments essential for men. Whether you’re dealing with oiliness, signs of ageing, or post-shave irritation, tailored care makes all the difference.
Common Skin Concerns for Men
From their 20s through to their 60s, men often face:
1. Razor Burn & Ingrown Hairs
Frequent shaving, especially around the jawline and neck, can cause bumps, redness, and inflammation. Treatments like soothing facials for men and LED therapy help calm and exfoliate, while targeted serums prevent future flare-ups.
2. Oily Skin & Congestion
More sebaceous activity means more oil and larger pores. We use treatments that contain salicylic acid, microneedling, and medical-grade facials to help manage oil levels and prevent breakouts.
3. Sun Damage & Uneven Skin Tone
Men are less likely to use daily SPF, which leads to pigmentation, dullness, and texture issues. AlumierMD’s EverActive C&E® + Peptide serum, along with in-clinic treatments like chemical peels or illumiFacial, can significantly improve clarity and radiance.
4. Ageing & Loss of Firmness
Fine lines, sagging, and tired-looking skin are common concerns. Skin boosters, radiofrequency microneedling, and collagen-stimulating facials help firm, lift, and restore elasticity.
