If traditionally makeup is more of a “girl thing”, for the past few years sales of cosmetics for men have been increasing. Why are men starting to wear makeup again: is it a need or a fashion? Yes, you read that right, “start again”!<\/p>\n

We mustn’t forget that men have been wearing makeup everywhere and at all times: from African dyes to prepare warriors, to Egyptian kings, to Louis XIV and his court.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, make-up is used again more and more by men who are modernizing and assuming more and more. The other strange point is the hatred of some guys on social networks who insult those who decide to wear makeup… we wonder who has a problem! But that’s not the point.<\/p>\n

Make-up to hide an imperfection<\/h2>\n

It’s no secret that movie stars, politicians and celebrities regularly use foundation to hide irregularities on their faces, regardless of their gender, such as dark circles<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, you don’t have to be a star to take care of your skin<\/a><\/strong>, many men have decided to put their prejudices in the closet. They arm themselves with foundations or corrective sticks to mask redness, shaving spots, rosacea or other imperfections.<\/p>\n

Skin imperfections vary greatly and have various causes. As you know, your skin may first have a slightly too pronounced glow, especially on the nose or forehead. This overly oily skin<\/a><\/strong> is linked to an excessive secretion of sebum, whose role is to prevent the epidermis from drying out.<\/p>\n

In this case, unsightly blackheads will form, blocking the pores. I can also, like you perhaps, have embarrassing redness on the skin. This is often the case with fragile and sensitive skin. Sometimes, as you have no doubt noticed, these phenomena are ephemeral, so you just have to wait for them to fade away by themselves.<\/p>\n

Skin imperfections also affect men<\/h3>\n

But sometimes redness becomes persistent. If they settle on the cheeks, it may be erythrosis. In fact, erythrosis is a minor form of rosacea, or couperose, which affects the small vessels of the face. The redness spreads over the nose, the middle of the forehead and the chin. At a more developed stage, pimples can even appear. This is called acne rosacea. You may ask me what causes these little blemishes. I would say that they are primarily due to an unbalanced diet.<\/p>\n

Very spicy food, alcohol or hot drinks can cause redness. I won’t surprise you either by advising you to avoid foods that are too fatty, too salty or too sweet. Lack of hydration can also play a significant role. Also, if you remember that your hands are teeming with bacteria, you should avoid touching your face too often. That said, some forms of rosacea are pathologies, which can be explained, especially in fair-skinned individuals, by an abnormality in the functioning of blood vessels.<\/p>\n
