Male vs. female cosmetics, do they really need to be used separately?

In conclusion, there is no need to distinguish between men and women; simply choose cosmetics that match your skin type.

Innately, the skin types of men and women are slightly different. Men tend to have larger pores and are less dry because they produce more sebum compared to women. On the other hand, women are more prone to dryness but have finer pores and smoother skin.

Regardless of gender, as aging progresses, sebum secretion decreases, making the skin more prone to dryness.

Generally, men's cosmetics include moisturizing ingredients such as butylene glycol or propylene glycol to enhance hydration, but they contain about 3-5% less oil than women's cosmetics, which can make men's skin feel even drier if they have dry skin.

Ultimately, the difference between men's and women's cosmetics is only a matter of preferences such as oil content, fragrance, and texture.
