Ever wonder why body scrub isn’t recommended for our face? Or why we purchase a separate facial cream than body lotion? Why aren’t there one-size-fits-all skincare products for our face and body? There are four differentiating characteristics that set facial skin and body skin apart: cell size, thickness, the amount of hair follicles and the number of oil glands.
What’s the Difference?
-
The skin on our face is made up of much smaller cells than that on our body. This makes it more difficult for chemicals to be absorbed since the barrier is tightly compact.
-
Since our face is home to the thinnest layer of skin, it also becomes the most visible area for aging. Our face needs to be treated with care so as not to cause any unnecessary damage.
-
Did you know the oil or sebum produced on our face has antimicrobial properties that help heal the skin? Over washing your face or using the wrong products can strip your skin of sebum, which is oil that is produced to protect and lubricate the skin throughout the day.
-
Lastly, although incredibly fine, our face has more hair follicles than on the rest of our body. Throughout the day, sweat, bacteria and sebum can mix together and increase the chances of clogged pores if not cleansed properly and regularly.
Many people report that although they were able to pick up new skincare formulation skills with relative ease, successful haircare product formulation remained a tricky, elusive challenge.
So, why is it that things that work well on the skin don’t achieve the same result on the hair or scalp? The difference is really quite straightforward.
What’s the Difference?
Skin Is Alive; Hair is Dead
To put it simply, skin is alive. You have seven layers of skin that are constantly rising up, changing on a cellular level, and eventually flaking off, to be replaced by new cells. In addition to all of its protective and sensory functions, the skin also helps to prevent water loss. When you formulate skincare products, it’s with the intent of nourishing a living organ—the largest organ in our bodies!
Hair, however, is not alive. The part we actually see, called the hair shaft, is made of dead cells, whereas skin is a living tissue. This means that hair does not have the same regenerating properties as skin does.
Living skin can heal; we heal tiny cuts and scrapes all the time, and can even increase skin elasticity and health by choosing ingredients and products that boost that ability in our skin. But if hair gets damaged, it can’t heal the way skin does. It can’t return to previous state.
This is the reason why it’s crucial to understand how to prevent damage and how to nourish the hair.

Many wonderful, natural ingredients can be used in both haircare and skincare. But, what is different is the formulation, or how the ingredients are included.
Formulating haircareproducts is more complex.
Creating haircare products will require more chemistry knowledge behind the ingredients to understand pH, surfactants, electric charge.
