PEMBROKE PINES, FL – JANUARY 12: David Gikovatyi, the Denture lab manager, works on a new set of dentures at the Affordable Dentures lab on January 12, 2009 in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Statistics show that the number of people loosing all their teeth has declined 60 percent in the United States since 1960. The reduction is attributed to the program of fluoridation begun in the 1940s as well as education on proactive dental hygiene. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

According to Study Finds, a new survey of 2-thousand Gen Z and millennial men finds that 73% admit they need an intervention with their self-care habits. They also confess they need someone to confront them about their skin care routine, or lack thereof (42%), their diet (42%), fitness levels (37%) and how much sleep they get (34%).
The poll reveals that 33% of guys between the ages of 18 and 42 have no skincare routine at all. But even worse? Only 54% of them brush their teeth every day! And far fewer are washing their faces daily (35%), flossing (30%) or moisturizing (19%).
- For the fellas who do take care of their skin, 50% were motivated to by a first date and 48% by their first job.
- There are a lot of things the men surveyed would rather do than follow a skin care routine, including go on a bad date (50%), go to a doctor’s appointment (49%), clean out their email inbox completely (45%), and even do their laundry by hand for a month (41%).
- Even men who take care of their skin tend to spend more time in the bathroom reading (20.3 minutes) and on their phone (19.1 minutes) than on skincare (17 minutes).
- Guys in relationships may be doing better than their single friends, as 76% of coupled-up men use their partner’s personal care products, mostly shampoo or conditioner (43%), moisturizer (41%) or cleanser (32%).
- More than two-thirds (71%) of men are more likely to borrow their S.O.’s skin care products than buy their own, with 20% saying it’s because they don’t know what ingredients to look for and 17% saying there are just too many options to pick from.
Not sure I'll ever want to makeout with a man again... until I physically see them brush their teeth!
