10 Most Attractive Vitiligans (2019) – Men

Paying a huge part in the body positivity movement, many men with vitiligo are challenging the society’s perception of beauty. They are exhibiting the power of confidence by flaunting their vitiliginous skin on social media and public events. These are men who are inspiring not only vitiligo fighters but everyone with low-self esteem to love the skin they’re in (figuratively).

For our second annual roundup of the most attractive vitiligans (Men edition), we were in touch with more than 1200 vitiligo fighters worldwide (excluding candidates). Out of them, 500+ participated in an electronic survey and voted for their favorite candidates. More than 75 influencers that are too attractive to be missed were shortlisted as candidates for the survey.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and ‘attractiveness’ is a very subjective notion. So, we asked all 500+ voters to vote for their preferred candidates, keeping their confidence level, positive attitude, likability, presentation skills and creativity in mind. Let’s see who made to the list of 10 Most Attractive Vitiligans (2019) – Men.
