That men’s grooming has now broken all taboos is a well-known fact, and the most recent data confirms this very clearly. To cite a 2025 study conducted by Bread Financial and brand Ulta Beauty on the U.S. market, it found that men now spend about $90 a month on beauty, surpassing the female average of $80 for the first time. Their focus is particularly on hair products, advanced skincare, fragrances and massages with a holistic approach, experienced as a source of instant gratification and a tool to regain mental serenity.
Today, in 2026, once this awareness is consolidated, the trend evolves further toward a collective dimension, and what we are discovering is the joy of sharing. In a historical period dominated by “looksmaxxing,” where the quest for aesthetic improvement at any cost often becomes a source of stress, more relaxed beauty counter-trends are emerging, born not out of anxiety about appearing but out of the pure pleasure of self-care.

This philosophy invites you to experience beauty rituals together with your partner, overcoming the outdated imagery of sleepovers among just friends. In short, modern couples seem to love shared skincare more and more, turning the home bathroom into a small private spa. If Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had sensed this potential long ago, today the trend has exploded among celebrities and on social media, creating a deeply romantic narrative around everyday gestures like applying a mask.
The culmination of this phenomenon was achieved by Hailey and Justin Bieber, who collaborated to launch Rhode’s pimple patches right at Coachella, amplifying the brand’s media impact. Images of the couple casually sporting blemish patches and eye treatments not only confirmed these products as the most desired of the moment, but helped to clear their more fun and “pop” side, making them accessories to be worn almost proudly outside the home. This aesthetic complicity proves that beauty is no longer a secret to be hidden, but a moment of deep connection: because taking care of one’s skin in two is not only more effective, it is definitely more fun.
