Chasten Buttigieg Comes To Pete's Rescue After Interview About His Awkward Skin Care Routine Goes Viral

Running for President has kept South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg very busy.

So busy, it seems, that he doesn't have time for the high-quality skincare we all deserve!


During Cosmopolitan's "Candidates Come to Cosmo" series, Buttigieg was asked the signature question: What is your skincare routine?

His answer was ignorant enough to give Jonathan Van Ness a stroke.

It turns out most of Buttigieg's skincare routine involves soap and aftershave.

See the full exchange here:

When Buttigieg asks if that's bad, Jessica Pels, who's interviewing him, gives him the full lowdown.

"You're supposed to moisturize. You're running a campaign for president. I'm running a campaign for getting men to moisturize."

She sent the candidate home with some moisturizers to help him in the future.

But shortly after the interview was published, Buttigieg's husband, Chasten, responded with a tweet of his own.

Chasten would follow up his initial chastening with a few other reassurances.


Twitter was grateful someone was there to make sure Buttigieg is taking care of his skin.


Reading the story made many suspect Elizabeth Warren had a skincare plan for America.

There were some Twitter users who wished the story would disappear.



Some readers felt they could empathize with Buttigieg just a little too closely for comfort.


Skincare aficionados had to try and stay calm while reading the candidate's responses.

If only we still lived in a world where this was the biggest political story to be reporting on...

Remember, Pete: listen to your husband!

You may have a plan for the country, but he's got a plan for your skin.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
