The power of social networks and the evolution of product uses will
support sales
A new generation of influencers and actors, such as Timothée Chalamet, are shaking up the
codes of masculinity and breaking the taboos that still hover around men's grooming. Gradually,
we are heading towards greater mainstream acceptance of skin care for men, along with the
rising of the make-up trends among men which are boosted on social networks. These areas of
ongoing change will help to support sales in men’s grooming. Additionally, we are seeing
changes to the usage of certain products, for example the trend for men to shave their bodies as
well as their beards. This practice was previously more notable among male athletes, such as
swimmers, who would shave their body hair in order to become more streamlined in the water,
for example. However, in line with the evolution of men’s grooming habits, this body-shaving
trend is also becoming more normalised and will also help to support the development of the
category over the forecast period.
