Historically, mens skin care has not been a large market and most of the skin care companies focused their efforts, marketing, and product lines to women. The reason for this is because men generally have not been concerned about skin care for their face and the rest of their bodies. It has not been a priority for men and any thought of paying attention to their skin was mistakenly viewed as being unmanly.

However, times are changing and adjustments are being made on all fronts. In 2004, the men's skin care market was only one to two percent of the total skin care market. Over the past year, mens skin care has been the fastest growing segment in personal care. Some statistics show that men’s skincare products grew by 16% last year, compared to only 5% for all other skin care product lines.

Men are realizing that care of their skin is not only essential for overall good health and for preventing diseases, but it can also lead to a happier and more successful life in their careers, relationships, and other life elements.
