Looksmaxxing is an online trend focused on improving physical appearance, particularly among boys and young men.

While some content centres on grooming, skincare, diet and exercise, other parts of the trend can promote questionable advice, extreme practices and unrealistic expectations.

Our latest guide explores key concerns, including:
• Pressure around male appearance and body image
• Misleading or potentially dangerous advice
• Obsessive behaviours and declining self-worth
• Mental health concerns
• Exposure to increasingly extreme online communities

It also shares practical advice for parents and educators on recognising looksmaxxing terminology, noticing changes in behaviour and starting supportive conversations about appearance, influencers and online expectations.

While it can be a positive way to connect with friends, there are also important risks for parents and educators to understand.

• Contact with strangers
• Harassment and harmful behaviour
• Exposure to inappropriate content
• Gaming and socialising becoming a distraction
• Spending and subscription risks

It also shares practical advice on using Discord’s Family Centre, reviewing privacy and spending settings, talking openly about suspicious behaviour and agreeing clear expectations around screen time.

Children don’t always need the perfect words or a big gesture to feel loved.

Sometimes it’s you looking up when they walk in the room and saying, “I’m glad you’re home.”

It’s remembering they hate mushrooms. Asking how that game went. Sitting beside them after a tough school day, even when they don’t feel like talking.

It’s giving them five uninterrupted minutes. Noticing when they try. Telling them you love being their parent or carer.

And after the shouting, the slammed door, the bedtime argument or the tears, it’s reminding them: “We had a hard moment. I still love you. That hasn’t changed.”

The little things are not little to a child. They become the memories that tell them, over and over, “I matter here.”
