Is skincare considered Jow Forums discussion? It's one of the first thing people look at when judging you...

>What's the best way to min max skin care without spending lots of money on it?
focus on the basics, the things that work.
UV protection should be priority number one. pH balanced (acidic) cleanser once per day, a moisturiser that's appropriate for your skin and environment, a chemical exfoliant e.g. salicylic acid. a heavy occlusive like vaseline at night leaves you looking good in the morning. try topical ascorbic acid or retinoids and see if the cost/benefit ratio is right for you. if you start experimenting with active ingredients then take it slowly and one at a time.

Drink a lot of water
A facewash in the morning
Then any moisturiser after bath
Sunscreen during the day
Before sleep Wash face and other visible parts of the body and then apply coconut oil to them

No, it's /fa/ related.
However, drink a lot, it's the base; then wash your face and moisturize twice a day, scrub once a week, eat your vegetablea and fruits and avoid long sun exposure

After diving deep into it I've decided the answer is
>water/soap on face in the morning and before bed
>moisturize (preferably paraben free)
>sunscreen if you're going to be outside enough to be at risk of burning
>laser if you have acne scars, dermaroll if you can't afford that at the moment
>accutane is the only thing proven to treat acne. Has side effects so it has to be bad enough to warrant it.
>dermas swear prescription retinoids prevent aging and reverse lines. They say it takes anywhere from 6 months to a year to see the effects so I question it.
>everyone with clear skin is not on some secret routine, or eating some perfect zero carb diet while also being plant based (just eat a bunch of berries and veggies user, but avoid sugar!)
The worst are the Korean beauty kikes. They literally have makeup on in the videos they make shilling their 12 step bee venom, snail elixir face peel and you still fall for it. Everyone on television or Instagram is touched up.

Not going to fight it with autists on here. These serums and toners do literally nothing.

Good advice, I will add

>changing your pillow covers
Do this regularly, some with bed sheet and blanket, doesn't matter how clean your family is if you sleep in dirty sheets.
At least once every 14 days.

>UV protection should be priority number
I’m 26yo boomer who goes to Italy for vacations every year without any sunscreen. Am I bound to have shy wrinkled skin as an actual boomer, is it too late for me broskis?

never too late to make a difference

it's about accumulated DNA damage from radiation, you are not THAT old. Just start now brah. If you were 45 I'd say you were to late to safeguard your skin.

Thx that sounds about right

I use spent coffee grounds as an exfoliate. You don't even have to drink the coffee, just use the grounds after draining.
It's very very effective. Gets all the dead skin off

>post any sort of girl, doing nothing sexual
>CUMBRAIN OOOH LA LA

Why are nofappers like this? Do you expect all women to hide everywhere just cause you're doing some sort of religious self-denial ritual?

Go be retarded somewhere else

nofappers view the world in a fucked up way. doesn't surprise me because the only guys who actively do nofap are the biggest cumbrains on the planet

Can someone confirm it's a good routine? Might try it

I knew this was coming

It's because nofappers are ex-cumbrains and thus know how current cumbrains think and view the world.

Does anyone have any moisturizers to try for someone with incredibly sensitive skin? Even just simple lip balms make me break out horribly. I've been having issues with dry skin on my face recently too.

Sunscreen
Tretinoin
Moisturizer
You don't really need anything other than those three things, i do prefer using a sunscreen with niacinamide.

>almond coca butter lavish
what the fuck no MAN should be doing any of this shit. eat clean, shower, exercise, drink water.

You should be using retinol daily or every other day or else you won't get the full effect.

I do a face mask once a month. Some cucumber bullshit they sell at target. It’s pretty gross what on your skin desu

here's your skincare routine:
>live in texas
>go for a 30 min run in the texas heat
>let the sun melt the filth off your greasy fucking face
>get home, rinse the filth off ur face
yup, das texas yup

Questions:

How does applying all this shit to your face work when you have a beard?

Should I be using cleanser AND a face soap? Or they do the same thing?

How long do you leave this stuff on, and do you rub it in? I usually put on moisturizer while I'm in the shower and rub it in a bit but not too much then rinse

I got fine forehead wrinkles so I'm gonna have to start scrubbing it with baking soda.

My real skin care secrets are not to be shared.

My GF makes me use retinol in squalene, jojoba as a moisturizer, coffee bean cream under eyes. It works pretty well for looking younger overall.

So there's retinol, but there is also retinoid? I am already lost.

I use oil cleansers, toner, moisturizer, and sun screen in the AM. In the PM, I generally just rinse with water but I'm in feeling super gross, I'll wash with cetaphil. Weekly, I'll do a mask followed by a hybrid chemical and physical exfoliant, but that's more to feel like I'm pampering myself than anything else. I swear by oil cleansing though. It's been a crazy improvement over just using a standard cleanser

I'mI don't have a beard but it's very quick actually. I wash my face with cleanser, dry it, put toner, wash teeth and then apply sunscreen/moisturizer.
>Should I be using cleanser AND a face soap? Or they do the same thing?
Not an expert, I just asked /fa/ at some point for a basic routine and it helped improve my skin by orders of magnitude so I've sticked with it. Best to ask there, however afaik you shouldn't be using soap.

I'm pretty sure the only 2 things you need to do are:

-exfoliate
-moisturize

(of course include regular washing)

I see so many different facial cleansers, how do I identify what skin type I have?

Sometimes my skin is oily, but I think it's mostly dry.

This shit is so confusing...

unironically have sex

basically this. plus sunscreen if you want to avoid wrinkles.
Same but I got different type of skin on my face if it makes sense lmao. Like my cheeks are superdry but nose and forehead greasy af. I jsut use cetaphil for gentle skin and it works like a charm

I’ve actually had really good results treating acne with egg whites. Crack a whole egg, separate the white and apply to your face, allow it to dry, it will feel quite “tight,” wash it off after 10-20 mins. There’s a lot of (((holistic claims))) about egg whites but they contain the protein Lysosome, which is known to inhibit gram-positive bacteria, (the main culprits of acne are gram positive). It’s not a cure-all, and it certainly won’t replace prescription meds for severe acne, but for the occasional zit or breakout it works really well.

Of course it is.

I have had blackheads around my nose for years now but this week I started washing my face with a face wash from La Roche Possay and it's noticeably clearing up

You rub in the moisturizer then?

How do I get red of red bumps from razor burn? Some of them have gotten big and they never go away. My face would be totally clean except for those bitches.

if you don't wear makeup or sunscreen, it doesn't matter too much which water-based cleanser you use as long as you moisturize afterwards
i use a prissy korean one, but either of cerave's two cleansers is fine

parabens are a spook
other treatment works for acne depending on what it's from (hormones, stress, dirt, genes, etc) but yes accutane is the thing that will definitively kill your acne and is worth it for most people
some serums and ampoules and shit are helpful but obviously a 12 step korean routine is overkill and a waste of money and time

i would suspect other products and methods would work as well if not better

what is your shaving routine?
are you black? (srs question)

Absolutely based psychopath

>implying that's not true

get an electric shaver

Naw I’m white, I’ll shave like once a week but I got bumps on one side of my neck. I’ll use a non electric cheap razor
Been using one recently but the bumps still aren’t going away

>implying nofappers are marble white pillars of stocism and not people who have to wear a straightjacket so they don't rape the family dog

Try cerave moisturising cream/lotion. The cream is heavier. Personally I prefer the lotion in the morning, but I use the cream at night

how close to your skin are you getting with your electric shaver?
either use a guard if you want shadow, or use a regular razor if you're shaving to your skin
and use witch hazel for your aftershave, not alcohol
if you still get bumps, find yourself a topical product containing salicylic acid and use that after the aftershave

You don't wash off moisturiser man.

1. Wash your face in the morning. Just use water.
2. Pat dry your face
3. Apply a moisturiser
4. If you're going to be outside (even in winter) apply a sunscreen. Don't just use cheap sunscreen, it's greasy as fuck and will make you look greasy. Alternatively you can use a moisturiser with SPF, but again, cheap ones tend to be greasy.
5. At night wash your face, using a cleanser. You should also apply moisturiser. If you want to get fancy you can use a heavier moisturiser here because you don't have to worry about looking a bit greasy, because you're sleeping alone (yes you are). No need for sunscreen here, unless you're a homeless Nightshift worker.

As for what products to use, it really depends on your skin. Cerave make decent cleanser and moisturizer for the price. If that doesn't work then unironically check out r/skincare

For sunscreen I use la Roche posay athelios. It's stupidly expensive, but worth it if you're not outside a huge amount, as it isn't greasy at all. I've heard good things about done Korean sunscreens too, I might give them a try but I'm wary of buying Asian shit off eBay incase there's lead in it or some shit

>I usually put on moisturizer while I'm in the shower and rub it in a bit but not too much then rinse
lmao the absolute state of men

This is pretty decent my man, so few people know the benefits of a good toner.

I take showers and wash my face.
Also I wash my hands and try not to touch my face

Based routine. I do the same. Turning 23 helped as well

>What's the best way to min max skin care without spending lots of money on it?
Gallon of water a day

>cleansing twice a day
>no exfoliating

Don't use coconut oil on your face, it's comedogenic

Use a toilet paper or tissues to pat your face
Dont use a towel

>those reddit threads from years ago

>comedogenic
is that part of the cumbrain meme?

what about my facial hair then? will the moisturizer just rub in past it? that would prob fix some of my beard dandruff

It means it clogs your pores. It's fine to use places that don't tend to break out but using it on your face in large amounts will probably lead to acne or blackheads.

Honestly I'm not sure, I don't have a beard. Probably depends how long it is.

If it is fairly short, ie almost article then yeah, go ahead and do the same stuff, it'll probably just be harder to rub in.

If it is longer/thicker then I assume you wash it in a similar way to head hair, so you should use conditioner as well. That should be enough, but if you still have issues then ask on r/skincare

For article, read stubble

how effective is dermarolling only for skincare?
