Description

<p>The facial skin of men has a large quantity of sebum, but is dry and coarse compared with that of women of the same age. Men’s skin shows a specific aging change in which the skin color becomes dark red with aging. We regard men’s shaving customs to greatly influence this. So we investigated 4 male groups, in their 20s and 50s, who have only used injector razors or who have only used electric shavers every day for a long period of time, and examined the long-term effects of shaving customs on the skin by performing a skin measurement. By carrying out a questionnaire survey of skin conditions and skin care, we considered the relationships among aging of the facial skin of men, shaving and skin care. As a result, when the skin of men in their 50s was compared with that of men in their 20s, the 50-year-old became red-black and much more pigmentation was observed from the cheek to under the chin. These indicate the extent of the damage from shaving. On the other hand, according to the questionnaire survey, there are many men who neglect skin care, including ultraviolet ray countermeasures. As a result of long-term “shaving customs” and “neglect of skin care”, we could conclude they bring about these aging changes peculiar to Japanese men’s facial skin.</p>
