    Realistically, I should just do some type of facial skincare routine. I just wash my face and use face cream occasionally but I think I’ll google men’s skincare or something. I imagine it’s good for you but I’m not putting in the effort of a Botox or similar. I have other stuff I should probably prioritize first like trying to go vegetarian.

      I answered higher up, but sunscreen (I use mineral sunblock but the Korean chemical sunscreens are really good too) in the morning, and Retin-A (prescription 0.1%) at night are for sure the two best things you can do to keep your skin in good shape. Consistency really pays off. Even if you sometimes forget the sunscreen - putting it on day after day with a few misses is better than using it only when you think you need it.

      Men’s face skin is slightly thicker than women’s but otherwise the same, and superficially the same.

        Appreciate the response. I did search for a routine earlier and have a Retinol cream on the way. I also found a recommendation for eye cream as well so I’ll give that a try too. I forgot about the Korean sunscreen options as I read on Lemmy a while back that (in general) they tend to be of higher quality than anything domestic.
