>tfw i'm that 30 year old at the gym

so Jow Forums, i'm unironically 30, i've been lifting for about 5 years so my body is looking pretty great and i feel very good.

however i feel like my skin is starting to show its age, it kinda begins to sag and wrinkle a bit and got some spots here and there. i used to think it was lack of sleep, but even when i'm fully rested i still look tired like i was up all night caring for my wife's son.

what's a good skin routine to help me at least maintain what i have? i still look about 25-27, which is alright, i just want to slow down the skin aging process as much as possible.

I had dry skin so i did as a man and found out what skin cremes contain. Glycerol is the thing, it draws moisture from your lower skin levels to the outer layer making your skin moist. It also works as a protective layer that holds the moist in your skin. It also makes you tan.

uncle june?

Don't you ever use the face of Corrado Soprano Jr. again to represent your faggotry.

get the fuck outta here.

so what do you do with it? what product do you use?

>makes you tan
i thought this causes damage to the skin?

unironically r/skincareaddiction

i'll look into it, thanks user

Jow Forumsskincareaddiction is great

OP, the two most important things for anti-aging are #1: Sunscreen, and #2: a retinoid

isn't retinoid for acne? i don't have acne

Both

>tfw i'm that 30 year old at the gym

that kid making all these 30 year ols posts got you... insecure faggot

Nope, retinoids are incredibly effective for anti-aging. They even out your skin-tone, repair UV damage, lessen wrinkles, improve skin cell turnover...

Read this:

simpleskincarescience.com/tretinoin/

There is tons of scientific research on tretinoin (retinoic acid).

Like Octavius m8. Like when he became Augustus. That's making it.

not much you can do besides what was already said and using lotion on your face with SPF protection every day.
I'm 43 and have 0 wrinkles

fuck those are expensive

here's my skin routine. it's only been a month but my pores are much smaller, have a nice looking glow, and less darkspots.

>cerave foaming facial wash
>stridexm red
>salicidic acid cream 2%/dark spot remover
>lotion/sunblock

once or twice a week i use an exfoliator. wish i took care of my skin sooner, i look like 5+years older when i'm 23

i'm not actually offended m8, i remember what it was like being an edgy teen. it's a decent meme.

I heard sleeping on your back without a pillow and cold showers help

It's actually quite cheap.

You can get a tube that will last you a year for $20

ebay.com/itm/Woow-1-Tube-Reticor-0-1-Cream-for-Skin-15-grams-Free-Shipping/273140033432?hash=item3f986a2798:g:4eAAAOSwsTdatGYQ&vxp=mtr

Shit seller, no feedback

How do 15 grams last a whole year though?

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub.

You use a veery small amount every time, maybe 0.05g. I have a 30g tube that I've been using for the past 3 years and there's plenty left

Used every other night, that'll last over a year no problem.

That's just an example. There's plenty of other sellers and places to get it online, or just go to any doctor at a walk-in clinic and ask for a tretinoin prescription. Or get granactive retinoid 5% from The Ordinary.

you are hitting the "wall". most people have first wrinkles by 30. to have younger skin avoid direct sun light during summer times to face thats about all you can do in the future

Thx user
You think tretinoin is the way to go or do retinols work for anti aging purposes just as well?

Its called lotion. Thats why black people cover themselves in it constantly but look younger when they are old.

Tretinoin is definitely the most effective, and cost effective way to go. I recommend it.

But, if you find it too irritating, you might want to use a gentler retinoid like this:

>wifes son
This killed the larp tbqh

Too a lesser degree of corse

Is this bullshit or worth a dry?

Vitamin c serum is a God send, I recced it to a friend of mine who had bad acne for years and his face looks much better now, more bright and young looking, even his family and other friends have noticed
Most people use face lotion, but it's best to have one with decent spf for the day, I have a cosrx 50spf, no typical spf white cast it's great
>tfw been trying to sleep face up for the past couple weeks to help get rid of the last bit of stubborn acne on the right side of my face (I always sleep on the right side)
>literally lay there for 30mins -1hr and nada, can't fall asleep
>give up and turn on my side and pass out in under an minute
Am I a lost cause?

They both claim to have Retinol in them, so yeah they should work. Some products lie about having retinol or their concentrations are much lower than the label actually claims. Just a heads up.

I'm in Canada and went to the nearest walk-in clinic and straight up asked the doctor for a tretinoin prescription for anti-aging, and she gave it to me in 30 seconds. That's what I recommend you try before any other retinol products.

Growth hormone is your friend

Is 20 an ok age to try retinol? I don't have problems with wrinkles yet, I just want my prime to last longer

It's never too early to use retinol, in fact the earlier the better

Make sure you use daily sunscreen too; it's even more important imo

Just sleep on your back, and only bathe in cold water, don\t waste your money on products

Where is the acne specifically on your face? I've noticed that sleep wrinkles form mostly on the lower part of the orbit of the eye, because the cheek skin is pushed forward in the night. A horse shoe shaped pillow turned sideways prevents this, by making the contact point the temple and the jaw, not the cheekbone. If the acne is on your cheek, that might help.

retinol, use spf daily with it. avoid foods with a high glycemic load and foods that are inflammatory, as that causes acne. cut down on caffeine, too much coffee causes you to produce less collagen (what makes your skin look good). use a proper moisturizer, and exfoliate.
all you really need is a cleanser, retinol, spf, moisturizer and an exfoliant. done.

semen

Try coconut oil as a moisturizer. Just use small amounts, a little goes a long way. Not sure if it will help with wrinkles but it's great for dry skin.

Eat more food with antioxidants such as goji, grapes, etc.

How does it feel knowing you'll be dead in 10 years LMAO.

coconut oil is comedogenic if you're at all acne prone, using that shit is like kicking yourself in the balls

Are your parents dead already?

Make sure you use a shit ton of sunscreen everyday, even when its cloudy

>everyone dies at 40
Are you legit retarded or just from Sierra Leone or some shit?

Africans have internet?

I know.
That's why I'm going to get on test and leave the last half decade of my life whoring and hustling.

Corrado is a rugmuncher

>Most people use face lotion
Depends on the country.
Whites in the US don't use it, look like shit.
Blacks in Africa don't use it, look like shit.
Blacks in the US DO use it, no wrinkles.
Asians in Asia DO use it, no wrinkles.
