Could you do headcanons of Steve doing/having a super well thought out skincare routine that the reader made for him for fun? Like a cleanser, exfoliator, toner, moisturizer, and masks? I’m not really sure he would actually NEED it and he’s probably never had one but I thought it was a nice idea. I love both you and your writings honey 💕

marvelous-avengers:

thank you darling! i also think that this is such a lovely idea and i am glad to write it!

• as a man of military training i think that he would appreciate the methodical part of having a skincare routine. he probably doesn’t need it because of the serum (godbless) but if the reader put thought into it, he would definitely use it.
• he’d ask what everything was, why it was good for him, what it would do for him, what the order was, etc. he loves that you put thought into it and care about his skin and wellbeing and made something for him, put care into organizing a routine for him
• you guys do your routines together in the bathroom, sometimes you’ll put masks on each others faces
• steve rogers is a man safe in his masculinity to be soft and gentle and have a skincare routine and even wear a mask around the house. im calling it. 
• he likes it when you do his routine for him, feeling your hands/fingers on his face soothes him just as much as the exfoliator does
• “steve, are you falling asleep on me?”
• “…no.”
• even though he doesn’t get pimples/blemishes on his face because of the serum, he honestly feels better (internally and externally) when he takes care of his skin. like it doesn’t feel as synthetic? or like automatic, as if his body reacts well to the skincare routine like a real person who doesn’t have a super soldier serum (there is a word for it but i can’t think of what it is rn but you know what i mean). it just makes him feel better
• you turn him onto body scrubs and he uses one every once in a while to exfoliate his body and make him feel refreshed, and you show him other things that are good for his body
• makes him feel more at home and relaxed in a body that has a synthetic thing running through him that automatically fixes him
• makes him feel more human, and he is thankful for that and you
