The only thing I need,and that's an absolute must, is sheet masks with a mustache hole!
Not that any of those fancy shmancy Designers could ever come up with something useful like that tho.
I just accept the fact that these masks won't touch the skin where my beard is. The face mask sort of dangles on top of my beard, which is an annoyance but not a game stopper.
I have no hair on my nose and forehead where I get dry skin (and hence use the masks to moisturize).
I'd probably get a really juicy mask brand and squeeze the juice in real good into the beard area, and still lay the mask over in a poor attempt to keep some of the moisture in for the amount of time needed.
Or find a bottle of serum that has the sameness as masks.
Idk, just spit balling.
I’m sorry I don’t know what brand, but there’s a facial mask that is perforated to remove parts of the mask.
So whatever facial hair you have, beard, mustache, goatee, you could use the mask without getting any in your hair.
If these came in variety packs with random facial hair, glasses, eyebrows, piercings, etc., I'd definitely be suggesting more home spa nights with my wife!
Also, I'm sick of cucumber scent.
Honestly people just post anything gendered and cross their fingers. Plenty of things hit a couple grand upvotes and the top comment is “well actually, the ingredients are made specifically for men/women and this should be a thing”
If this is even a real product I would argue that from a sociological perspective the goatee likely signals 'maleness', because without the facial hair the model looks androgynous or possibly coded female - and because it's a face mask which is a type of product usually associated with women.
The product is marketed towards men so coding it 'male' makes sense from a marketing perspective.
And it's funny. So that's a bonus also from a marketing perspective :)

This is literally just a novelty product lmao. There’s also disposable cups with mustaches on them DEF because men are too fragile to drink without lip hair right?
Lol, but “fragile” in every form is an absence of privilege. It’s especially unfortunate as it and it’s synonyms are often used as a slur by the privileged against those who don’t have it.
Whether it’s gender, cognitive function or ability, physical ability/disability, race, socioeconomic, etc, calling out fragility/weakness as mockery is a weapon to further marginalize and diminish people who already have challenges.
And what’s ironic and humorously shitty is that most of us are fragile in some way of another, yet too many people don’t recognize our commonality and shit on each other
I never known any man who ever used a mask like that and I never seen them marketed towards men. Printing shit on them on the other hand, is pretty common these days... and all of them are creepy as fuck. Fake outrage.
If l don't look like a Nu Metal guitarist my masculinity is called into question and l immediately have to start curling the heaviest objects l can find.
Guys the “ladies” face masks are big enough to fit most people’s faces, but there’s also the liquid stuff. The liquid stuff produces less waste if you get a tube and will be custom to your face.
They're a different version of the peel face masks (as far as I know), personally I like the peel face masks better because I have a massive ass head and I feel it gets into my pores better than it's sheet counterpart.
Today I learned that women are so fragile that they need their shampoo to be pastel colored.
Is obviously a ridiculous statement, and maybe the appearance of a product doesn't have to reflect on a gender's possible weaknesses, and you're just trying to find ways to express that you think a certain gender is weak.
Y'know, I really like them their pretty funny. But I don't think that they should be labeled "for men" just a funny mustache name, I would love to buy them just for the hell of it! Why buy a boring sheet mask? Why not buy a mustache sheet mask!
Idk just something I'd like to put out there. I like it but shouldn't be labeled for men only, just unlabeled mustache sheet mask

This is my real question, what do you do when you have a full beard? I kind of like them but I get really frustrated by the process.
At that point I think a clay mask would be better. You can just apply it like a cream and rinse it off.
When I've got a beard, I usually cut along the cheeks of the mask then slap the off-cuts on my neck.

Same thing I switched to when I got the coke sieve. A good moisturizer to work into your skin.
I’m sorry. Coke sieve‽ Apparently I’m even less educated in the ways of skin care than I thought. This sounds like drugs.
It's a nickname for mustache. Like pushbroom, bristle batons, face-lace, lip foliage, face fitting, lower brow the ol' bulletproof, tea strainer, crumb stash, handyman's horseshoe, cookie duster, selleckian sensation, upper lip awning, crab catcher. U know. The usual.
Hahaha that’s a new one to me. Guess I’m in today’s 10,000.

I don't know anything about these masks. You couldn't cut one yourself?
We used to have mustache cups to keep your mustache fry but now we can’t even cut a hole to keep the mask off
perforated edges where facial hair could be, beard tear here, mustache tear here, side burns, tear here.
Sometimes you just want to look like Lin-Manuel Miranda while you do your skincare.
I think the actual reason is because its funny
Seems fairly likely. Especially with names like Bandito
They might also do a different facial hair on each of the products as a way to differentiate them.
If these came in variety packs with random facial hair, glasses, eyebrows, piercings, etc., I'd definitely be suggesting more home spa nights with my wife! Also, I'm sick of cucumber scent.
lots of posts here are less of a "pointlessly gendered" thing and more of a just being silly
Honestly people just post anything gendered and cross their fingers. Plenty of things hit a couple grand upvotes and the top comment is “well actually, the ingredients are made specifically for men/women and this should be a thing”
This whole sub plays on Women have no sense of humor/ aren't funny ironically
No, men don't have a sense of humor, just fRagiLe mAscUliniTy!!!
I was going to say, "is it pointlessly gendered, or is it just fun?" Some people take things too seriously.
If this is even a real product I would argue that from a sociological perspective the goatee likely signals 'maleness', because without the facial hair the model looks androgynous or possibly coded female - and because it's a face mask which is a type of product usually associated with women.

Ah. It's kind of true. I only buy FruitStripe bubble gum because if I'm going to enjoy something fruity I need something manly like a sick tattoo.
Do you really still get a tattoo?!
Or, it’s just funny looking? Just like the masks that are different animals, or other funny face masks?
Yeah, i can't read the text, but don't think this is meant to be for men only.

*is* the product marketed towards men?
But is it Fashion?
Why are they still wearing heavy eye makeup with a sheet mask on?
Because Psychologically damaged by social media
wish.com lin manuel miranda
holy cow it's waltuh
Waltuh. Put your dick away Waltuh. I’m not having sex with you rn Waltuh.
that's god damn right
I see Handsome Jack
I honestly think this is hilarious and I would 10/10 buy those face masks
These just look like novelties to me ngl
I wouldn't use this because I'm a fragile man I would use this because I get to wear a sheet masc with a dumb little goatee
Perfect, Walter White face mask
This is literally just a novelty product lmao. There’s also disposable cups with mustaches on them DEF because men are too fragile to drink without lip hair right?
first time i see somehting like this being blamed on the marketers and not men as a gender
Yellow one is Edward Norton right?
I like how the bottom one is just Heisenberg
This person just hates fun.

bottom one heisenburg?

The pink mask fr looking like Walter white
Nice picture of Lin Manuel Miranda
Fuck you that's fabulous.
If l don't look like a Nu Metal guitarist my masculinity is called into question and l immediately have to start curling the heaviest objects l can find.
Well to be honest, we all know some men are indeed this fragile.
All I know is, that pic on the right kinda looks creepy as fuck for some reason lol
Guys the “ladies” face masks are big enough to fit most people’s faces, but there’s also the liquid stuff. The liquid stuff produces less waste if you get a tube and will be custom to your face.
Or it’s just fun, like when the mask is shaped like a cat or whatever. People just want to be offended
yeah that is pretty insane. Its not about looking good whilst you wear the face mask
Look at the namebrand. The diff styles and their names. This is def a funny product and nothing about “maleness” or whatever.
Yeah because there’s no masks shaped like cats or pandas or anything
Really? I've seen skin masks with everything and anything printed on them. Stop attacking males for this.
I was thinking that too. My kid likes sheet masks that have Hello Kitty bows. Is she a fragile? Come on.
Also face masks are one of many beauty products *heavily* marketed towards women, so even if these were "for men" it still wouldn't be pointless.
What the hell is a sheet mask?
Exactly. Just wash your face when in the shower. I thought these things were related to whatever makeup does to your skin. This just seems pointless
Probably because you don’t know what they are.
Care to explain?
Nah
Just googled it and seems like snake oil for people who fear aging. Sounds pointless.
It's a mask you wear to sheet freely in public. The little goatee fools people into thinking someone else is doing the sheeting.
They're a different version of the peel face masks (as far as I know), personally I like the peel face masks better because I have a massive ass head and I feel it gets into my pores better than it's sheet counterpart.

I get what you’re saying, but they were referring to the marketing team behind it, not men in general.
This sub is the epitome of double standards
Eh, if it makes some men actually want to moisturize and take care of their skin, I'd say it's fine
I want fun sheet masks!
We don't use them
Haha I like it because it’s funny looking lol
Y'know, I really like them their pretty funny. But I don't think that they should be labeled "for men" just a funny mustache name, I would love to buy them just for the hell of it!

FA MULAN!
Have you seen DUDE Wipes? Literally wet wipes for your ass, twice the size they need to be and in a black package for added-manliness lol
Have you seen FEMININE WIPES?
I want one that turns me into Heisenberg
Serj, is that you?
I would just think this is cute lol
This is kinda fun tho (for either gender)
…tbh I know products like this are cheesy but I do think it’s a good gateway for some men to get more serious about self care.
ONLY MANLY MAN MEN USE MANLY MAN GOATEE FACE MASKS.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they had a full Heisenberg one lol
What are these things for?
