Soft is a skincare brand that makes men's skincare and offers a modern take on masculinity with products like its Moisture Mask. While there are many skincare lines for men that offer products to support skin health, Soft's founders James and Patrick couldn't find a brand offering face masks and constantly ran into messaging that reinforced hyper-masculinity—Soft goes against this by reclaiming what it calls the "'soft' stigma around skincare."
The brand's Moisture Mask is moisturizing, hydrating, softening and revitalizing, as it is beneficial for rejuvenating skin that looks or feels dry, dull or tired. Like many skincare masks that are created and marketed for women, this one for men is versatile, since it can be worn for a short period of time and rinsed off or applied as an overnight treatment.
