Is Men’s Skin Really Different?

Yes, on average. Men’s skin tends to be thicker and produce more oil, while regular shaving can add irritation to the mix. But your skin type matters more than the word men on a bottle. 

The good news? You don’t need a complicated men’s skincare routine to look after it.

Oil needs balance, not a battle

More oil can mean more shine and congestion. Scrubbing your face until it feels tight won’t help it feel comfortable. Choose a gentle cleanser, then moisturise—even if your skin is oily. 

Shaving changes the equation

If shaving leaves your skin red or uncomfortable, pay attention to your technique as well as your products. Shave in the direction of hair growth, use a moisturising shaving cream and follow with a moisturiser. 

Keep the routine simple

Morning: Cleanse → moisturise → broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher when heading outdoors.
Evening: Cleanse → moisturise.

Start with CLEAR Clarifying Face Cleanser and SHIELD Adaptive Defense Moisturizer. Add targeted care only when your skin calls for it. Sunscreen remains a separate step: SHIELD does not replace SPF. www.ridgeandrune.com

At Ridge & Rune, BioAdaptive skincare is built around a straightforward idea: skin’s needs change with daily life. Give it a routine you can stick to, and room to adapt.
