While it may have been true in the past that the women largely outnumbered men in the amount of cosmetic purchases made each year, recent trends are starting to show a much more even playing field between the sexes. Perhaps thanks to a shift in societal norms and a growing awareness of common skincare concerns for both men and women, many men are now adopting a regular, although simple and quick, skin care routine. So what\u2019s popular among Pittsburgh men in the world of skin care products? Here are the five must-haves for modern men.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Face Wash<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although some men still want that rough-and-tumble look, no one wants to have to deal with acne, dry skin, or other conditions caused by dirty, clogged pores. Pittsburgh men are now purchasing more facial cleansers than ever before, making this a popular product for both men and women. By far, one of the biggest benefits of using a daily face wash is that it works wonders for all sorts of skin conditions, from breakouts to rosacea, yet men can easily add it to their normal grooming routine (<\/span>National Rosacea Society<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Moisturizer<\/span><\/h3>\n

Women aren\u2019t the only ones prone to dry, flaky skin. Pittsburgh men are taking advantage of the countless skin benefits that a daily moisturizer provides, including helping to prevent blemishes and treating eczema and extremely dry, cracked skin. Rather than waiting until the problem has progressed so much that you\u2019re left with painful or unsightly dry skin, use a moisturizer daily to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Sunscreen<\/span><\/h3>\n

A little-known fact about skin cancer is that men of all ethnicities are actually two times as likely to develop the disease than women (<\/span>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/span><\/a>). While the exact reasoning behind these numbers is unknown, many theories suggest that lifestyle habits could play a major role. Perhaps most importantly, women tend to be much more proactive about applying daily sunscreen and staying in the shade than are men, which could account for a large portion of this discrepancy between the sexes (<\/span>The American Journal of Surgery<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, many men are beginning to make sun protection a priority and are thus adopting the potentially life-saving habit of applying sunscreen on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Beard Balm<\/span><\/h3>\n

The current fashion trend that favors groomed, yet virile-looking facial hair is most likely behind this new cosmetic craze among men. Pittsburgh millennials in particular are turning to products like beard balm to keep their facial hair in check while still maintaining the rugged look that\u2019s so popular right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Microdermabrasion<\/span><\/h3>\n

As with all of these trending cosmetic products for men, <\/span>microdermabrasion<\/span><\/a> is becoming popular among the male population as societal norms and values shift. Pittsburgh men realize the importance of maintaining a regular skin care routine, especially when certain skin conditions are a concern. For those men dealing with acne, dry skin, or even a dull, tired appearance, microdermabrasion can help to restore a younger-looking, revitalized appearance by sweeping away built-up dead skin cells, dirt, and other debris from the surface of your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h3>\n

With today\u2019s increasingly competitive job market and workplace, many Pittsburgh men are starting to take advantage of the numerous cosmetic products and professional skin care treatments available. Skin care is certainly not just for women, and men of all ages and skin types can gain confidence and an all-around healthy appearance by simply adopting these few simple skin care habits. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have an existing skin condition that you\u2019d like to treat, but aren\u2019t sure where to start, consider consulting a board-certified dermatologist like <\/span>Dr. Ana Busquets<\/span><\/a> of <\/span>Acqua Blu Medical Spa<\/span><\/a> in Pittsburgh and Wexford. Dr. Busquets\u2019 knowledge and expertise make her one of the top Pittsburgh dermatologists and an excellent professional skin care resource. <\/span><\/p>\n
