How come men's skin doesn't need a 'skincare regime'?

It occurred to me the other day that most men do little or nothing in the way of skincare - my DH washes and shaves in the morning and that's it. I'm sure many younger men do now use some products, but probably nowhere near as much as most women.

So, how come DH's skin is as good as mine and, having done extensive man-watching (!), I've come to the conclusion that men's skin with no skincare looks the same as women's skin with hundreds of pounds spent on it. Are we just all mugs for the advertising hype?

I accept if you wear a full face of makeup you need to use something to take it off with at bedtime but, beyond that, is it all a waste of time? I know the answer to this really, but I do like slathering on the night cream and believing it's keeping me on the right side of haggard. Wink

And yes I too have enough brain power to ponder my existential ennui in addition to giving consideration to my skin care regime.
