ABSTRACT

It is the intention of this chapter to give an overview on cosmetics for men in general, history, developments, as well as current and future trends. In the past, for men grooming was all about shaving. Shaving is a duty for men and can be seen as a starting point for their care regime. Thus, this chapter will deal with shaving, aftershave, and face care for men. To understand the differences in female and male care, it is necessary to explain the physiological differences in female and male skin.
