Historically, mens skin care has not been a large market. The reason for this is because men generally have not been concerned about skin care and face skin care. It has not been a priority for men and any thought of paying attention to their skin was mistakenly viewed as being unmanly.
However, times are changing. In 2004, the men's skin care market was only one to two percent of the total skin care market. Over the past year, mens skin care has been the fastest growing segment in personal care. Some statistics show that men’s skincare products grew by 16% last year, compared to only 5% for all other skin care product lines.
Men are realizing that care of skin is not only essential for overall good health and for preventing diseases, but it can also lead to a happier and more successful life (career, relationships, etc.)
The first important point to realize when discussing men’s skin care is that the skin of men and women differs in several ways. For a skin comparison of the two sexes, please visit the mens skin link. Despite these differences, general skin care is similar.
