Can't Men Just Use His Girlfriend’s Moisturizer?

Male and female skin is different. We all have skin. But, there are differences between the genders and it’s more than skin deep. Generally speaking, men’s skin:

is thicker;
has more collagen;
secretes more oil;
has less fat sitting just underneath; and
contains more pigment.

Now, the bad news is that these composition differences make men more prone to sweating (which is why deodorant is a necessity). The good news is that men are less likely to show premature signs of aging - though you’ll need to protect that lovely layer of skin and all the moisture it contains.

In a pinch, any facial moisturizer is better than no moisturizer. That’s how important it is to hold the moisture in your skin. Grab your girlfriend’s moisturizer if that’s all that’s available. It’s likely to smell a little different than the products you’re used to, but it’s better than nothing at all.

Still, you should keep in mind that manufacturers know full well that men and women have different skin and they make products accordingly. Women’s facial moisturizers aren’t a long-term solution, but the only reason you should feel bad about using it is that she may have spent a small fortune on her skin care products and never likes the nasty surprise of an empty container.
