Do you need special towels, cleansers and serums for your butthole? This brand thinks so

When was the last time you thought about your skincare — down there?If your go-to is lathering up with a standard bar of soap or body wash, some experts say you could be setting yourself up for a real pain in the rear.Enter Asset, a cheeky brand putting your backside front and center with dermatologist-backed products designed specifically for your derrière.“There are brands that represent almost every inch of the body and tackle intimate problems, but no brand has dedicated itself to the butt until Asset,” founder and CEO Chad O’Connell told The Post.“It’s the ultimate taboo.” He says it’s one worth breaking.
