According to a study by Grand View Research, the men’s skin-care market is predicted to be worth nearly $19 billion by 2027, proving that there is rising awareness and interest amongst men when it comes to skin health and personal grooming.
Men’s skin is approximately 20 percent thicker than women’s and two times as oily, making it more prone to acne, and it tends to be more stressed as a result of routine shaving. Though, stereotypically, many men’s skin-care products are of the 3-in-1, “this bottle is my soap, shampoo, conditioner, aftershave, moisturizer, and favorite condiment to put on french fries” variety, there are a whole host of amazing skin-care brands and products on the market that are catered towards men’s skin concerns.
