Many teen boys stress out about how they look and how other people view them. Because of this, they may try to improve themselves, and a common solution to this is the viral trend: Looksmaxing. Looksmaxing is a routine, or specific actions/products, a male does to make himself look better.
Some students at Newton High School have joined the wave of Looksmaxing. Sophomore Daniel Todd said Looksmaxing has proven very effective for him.
“I discovered it back in, like, 2021, I was seeing the TikToks of, like, Kay Shami and Sam Zia and people like them. And I thought they looked pretty good, and I wanted to be like them,” said Todd. “Sometimes I do chin tucks, and uh, I also do orbiculous oculi lengthening,” said Todd.
Although some of his methods may be odd, they have been very effective, as Todd now has a very sharp and defined jawline. Looksmaxing is a routine or specific exercise that focuses on what the individual wants to improve. Miguel Bernal has also taken part in the Looksmaxing trend.
“ I pour like 10 pounds of Naz Naturals on my head, I drink, like, coconut water, and I take walks, and I eat raw liver and raw meat,” said Bernal when asked what his routine was.
Bernal recently joined the looksmaxing trend, but others have been on it for years. Sophomore Bryson Fair started Looksmaxing in 7th grade because he thought he was ugly and has been doing it ever since.
“I just do things for your face to look better, you know, like reduce body fat in your face and like increase your jawline and stuff like that,” said Fair. Fair is very consistent in his routine and continues to be.
“ I really like girls, and I just aim to like increase my amount of them in my life,” said Fair.
