If a man uses something a woman has, something bad will happen

After washing their faces, some men directly apply a handful of the skin care products used by their wives. Some young men will even lightly apply a thin layer of powder when their skin is in poor condition, not knowing that makeup and skin care products are also "different for men and women."

1. Currently, many cosmetics and skin care products developed specifically for women contain a certain amount of estrogen.

Generally speaking, estrogen is beneficial to women, but it has a significant impact on the male reproductive system.

Of course, short-term use of estrogen-containing drugs by men will not have a significant impact on the reproductive system. However, long-term exposure to items containing estrogen in daily life, such as cosmetics and skin care products, will cause harm.

2. In addition to facing the threat of estrogen, misusing female skin care products

They may also be poisoned by a chemical called phthalates, which can cause low sperm motility and abnormal sperm morphology, leading to male reproductive problems and even infertility.

It is reported that some nail polishes, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos also contain this substance.

Men's skin care products focus on oil control

Due to the influence of male hormones, male skin secretes more oil than female skin, and the epidermis is thicker than female skin. Therefore, most men suffer from skin problems such as roughness, acne, pits, and dull skin tone. This is due to the fact that men do not like to take care of their skin and are exposed to the sun for a long time.

Generally speaking, since men’s skin has an average of 22% more collagen than women’s skin, their skin is firmer and less likely to sag.

However, men are more likely to develop deeper wrinkles earlier because they have thicker collagen and tend to ignore sun protection. In addition, men's lifestyle is more irregular, and they drink at social events, stay up late, and smoke, which all cause their skin to age faster.

On the other hand, since men tend to develop obvious wrinkles around their eyes earlier than women, when choosing eye care ingredients, eye care products containing ingredients such as vitamin A, L-C, peptides, etc. will have a more substantial improvement effect.

Different hormone levels in men and women cause different skin conditions, so you need to be targeted when choosing skin care products. Professor Li Yuanhong suggested that it is best to use separate skin care products for men and women. First of all, some women’s skin care products contain phytoestrogens, but their effects on men and vice versa are still unknown.

Secondly, men and women prefer different scents, textures, and skin care demands. The skin care products configured accordingly also have gender characteristics and are not suitable for mixed use.

From this point of view, there is currently no clear research proving that women's skin care products will have adverse effects on men, but in terms of skin quality, men and women are not suitable for sharing skin care products.
