Penn Badgley has long favored the buzzcut, first sporting the look in 2007 during Gossip Girl. Over the years, despite his many roles in TV and film, his preference for a clean, all-over short cut has stayed strong.
The buzzcut suits men entering their 30s, a time when hairlines may start to change. Badgley’s style is not an extreme skin shave but short enough to look neat and tidy. It stands out from typical short haircuts and highlights his clear skin, which benefits from good grooming.
At 38, Badgley’s glowing skin is no accident. He began a serious skincare routine early. In 2008, at age 21, he told Seventeen Magazine that he used Pevonia’s Age-Defying Caviar Balm. This shows that taking care of skin early pays off.
It’s never too late to start a skincare routine. Simple steps like wearing SPF, using retinol, and taking supplements can help. Most importantly, managing stress and getting enough sleep is key, as studies show these affect skin health.
Following Badgley’s lead by buzzing your hair and caring for your skin could be the best way to enjoy your prime years.
