Skincare. That’s his secret. He has purchased a cleanser, moisturiser (this under duress) and a face mask, because he is self-conscious about his pores. We may never discuss this with anyone we know, including our closest friends who would absolutely be purely supportive. His guy friends are a mix of “would never buy a dedicated product for their face” and “probably does own skincare stuff but definitely isn’t talking about it” and it makes me sad that my husband, who oozes an incomprehensible level of confidence in every other area of life, is stuck between being self-conscious about his skin or self-conscious about trying to do something about it. Toxic masculinity hurts everyone.
