Numerous characteristics of the body are reflected in the skin, gender being a prominent one. Genetic and hormonal differences affect skin structure and function, resulting in variations between women and men and causing these gender variations to change with age. In addition, exogenous factors differ according to differences in lifestyle between the sexes. Methodologies used in dermatological research have improved substantially in the last few decades, providing means of objective evaluation of skin function and characteristics. Studies addressing various aspects of differences between women and men were conducted in the last few years, along with the growing interest in studying gender related differences of physiological and disease processes.1,2 However, the subject has not yet been systematically studied, so much of the data are by-products of studies with a different focus. This chapter outlines the various aspects of physiological differences between the skin of women and men, based on the available data.
