A new multifaceted and more inclusive form of masculinity is striving to break down the many preconceptions surrounding virility. Change is slowly but surely underway in the fashion and beauty industries, driven by icons who help push the boundaries. This is the case of Paul Rudd and Harry Styles, who have risen to become the world's most popular male beauty icons.
They're two different men with two different styles from two different generations, but both reflect the changes that have been taking place in the beauty industry for several months.
Paul Rudd and Harry Styles are now considered the ultimate male beauty icons, and more specifically, sources of inspiration in the field of men's skincare. So reports a study conducted by men's skincare experts Humanery.
No less than 100 male celebrities were studied via Google data analysis to determine which ones influence men's beauty routines the most, and make the grade as world-class skinfluencers.
Paul Rudd clearly stands out, taking first place in the ranking, with no less than 8,400 annual searches associating the American actor with the term 'skincare'.
This goes to show that the invisibility of people age 50+ is well and truly coming to an end, for men as well as women. It also reflects how these male celebrities are intent on deconstructing many of the myths surrounding masculinity, and especially virility.
The Humanery ranking suggests that it is a more multifaceted and inclusive form of masculinity -- whether in terms of age, body type, origin or gender -- that appeals to the public today.
Casting inclusivity in a masculine light
In second place comes Harry Styles (8,400 searches), who, for the past three years, has been breaking down many preconceived ideas in the fashion industry, and has even launched his own gender-neutral beauty brand.
He is followed by the British-American actor Andrew Garfield (4,800 searches) and the British actor Idris Elba, who also just turned 50. David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, John Legend and Brad Pitt complete the ranking, which is testament to a certain diversity when it comes to skinfluence.
"Our Google study shows that, apart from having great skin, there isn’t one preferred ‘type’ of male celebrity skinfluencer. There is a real mix of ages, skin colors and professions, all encouraging men to up their skincare game. This can only be a good thing, as for years now, more men have needed to take better care of their skin, and if it's celebrities helping to make that happen, then we’re here for it," explains Thomas Watson, a skincare expert at Humanery.
This phenomenon is also being seen in the field of fashion, although still in its infancy. Otherwise, the study reveals that searches for 'men's skin care' have jumped by 124% in the last three months, showing once again that men want to shake off certain clichés once and for all.
