At just 21 years old, Jamal Musiala has already established himself as one of Bayern Munich’s brightest stars, helping to lead the club’s midfield with his creativity and technical prowess.
Musiala has started this season how he finished last season, in top form. Scoring 3 goals in 6 games in the season so far, he’s been crucial part of the side under new manager Vincent Kompany, who has Bayern sitting top of the Bundesliga currently.
While Musiala continues to wreak havoc on pitch, In a light-hearted yet revealing moment, German and Bayern Munich legend Manuel Neuer playfully outed Musiala’s insecurities about his skin during a recent appearance on GQ Germany’s “10 Essentials” series.
A towering figure in goal, Neuer has been the anchor for Bayern Munich for over a decade. During his time at the club he’s shared the locker room with many players, wonderkids who’ve come and gone, legends who’ve retired and some that have been there with him since the start.
Neuer, aged 38 revealed in a segment of the video that his locker neighbour, Jamal Musiala expresses envy over his pristine skin.
While discussing the importance of sunscreen in his routine, Neuer playfully remarked that Musiala’s skin doesn’t look as smooth as his, even though he’s nearly twice the youngster’s age.
Although it was clear Neuer’s comment was meant in jest, it touched upon an area that can be sensitive for anyone—skin care and appearance.
Musiala, the young prodigy, is no stranger to skincare routines either.
In his own GQ “10 Essentials” video, he highlighted cocoa butter cream as a key part of his regimen, emphasizing that even at a young age, he takes his skin health seriously.
It wasn’t just any cocoa butter cream that’d do the job for Musiala, he says he’s been using the Palmer’s cocoa butter formula for many years now.
The Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula focuses on smoothening and softening skin, providing 24 hour nourishment and a lasting hydration for the skin.
The cream maintains smooth skin without feeling heavy or greasy. It can help prevent stretch marks from sudden muscle growth, and can also be beneficial for men with rough or uneven skin from sun exposure or aging.
Its quick absorption makes it an ideal daily moisturizer for Musiala, ensuring his skin stays soft, smooth, and resilient without feeling greasy, allowing him to focus on peak performance on the pitch.
While some might assume the cream to be a expensive one as it’s used by a star like Musiala, the reality is it comes in at an affordable price at just £4.99.
This might just be an opportunity for the Palmer’s brand to contact Musiala as a brand ambassador for their cocoa butter cream. An endorsement like this will see him follow footsteps of Manuel Neuer, who has been vocal about the brand “newkee” and their skincare products in his recovery from skin cancer.
Musiala talks about how he needs to be moisturized every time he steps out, making it a crucial part of his self care routine.
Musiala’s focus on skincare isn’t unique among his generation. As athletes become more conscious of their health and well-being, skincare routines have become another extension of their discipline, due to them growing up in the age of social media.
It’s understandable for a player like Musiala to be insecure about his skin considering he’s constantly under the spotlight and media scrutiny.
The only thing that makes Musiala look a bit older than he is are the wrinkles that form on his forehead from time to time. The wrinkles add a few years to him, making him look like someone who is in their late 20’s.
