Abstract: As there have been stereotypes about how facial skin care is only for women to indulge with, society, in general, has been not promoting gender inclusivity as a whole. Men also have been neglecting the benefits that can be brought when facial skin care is practiced efficiently and effectively, which urged the researches to conduct a mixed method study that primarily aims to determine the relationship between gender inclusivity and the attitude of male adolescents towards facial skin care. In order to attain results from this, the explanatory mixed method was utilized as it was the most suitable research design. This was to undergo first the process of quantitative research wherein fifty-six (56) respondents represented the sixty-five (65) male senior high school students in Far Eastern University - Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation. The gathered quantitative data were obtained by distributing the main survey to the male adolescents through random sampling. It was then followed by the qualitative phase wherein online and one-on-one interviews were conducted to further assess the ten (10) male adolescents' perceptions. Thus, the researchers essentially found out that, at a level of confidence of 95%, there is a negative and very weak correlation between gender inclusivity and the attitude of male adolescents towards facial skin care with a p-value of 0.416. Despite that, it was revealed through the interviewers that all ten (10) male adolescents possess a positive attitude towards facial skin care and have a high gender inclusivity in the said practice.
