Proactive skincare routine?

IsaGuz · 2018-09-06T22:35:09+00:00

UV protection, rain or shine. Beware of cloudy, it's tricky, but lets UV radiation hit your skin.

Skin cleanse with micellar water every night, rain or shine.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

Tobacco destroys collagen. Thou shall not inhale it, not even second hand.

Alcohol is dehydrating. Thou shall not drink it (a sip of champagne on weddings, the rare mojito some celebration... but as of a general rule, try not to use it: a virgin mojito is just as delicious and won't dehydrate you).

Hydrogenated fats were invented by a bastard child all devils and demons and world destroyers from all religions had after a million year orgy. Thou shall not taste them. If you want sweets, pies and cakes, thou shall cook them yourself. If the recipe is American, thou shall cut the sugar in half. Yes, in half, automatically, all recipes.

Avoid illegal drugs. And all the legal ones you can (caffeine and taurine being exceptions, especially caffeine, the fat transporter, before exercise), but stay the hell away from illegal ones.

Don't lose much sleep. Don't stay late many nights (on special occasions it's OK: not as of a general rule).

Do sports at least three times a week. The sweat will help.

Learn to cook and eat healthily.

Stay at a healthy weight and try to avoid yo-yoing.

Avoid stress and high levels of cortisol when possible: cortisol is a killer. Of everything. Since avoiding stress will not always be possible, start learning to meditate NOW -void meditation takes years to master- so you can kill stress with a few breaths in case it hits you. You will not be able to avoid stressful situations: since you won't be able to control the cosmos, learn to control yourself.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize (no need to get really expensive stuff, a basic nivea will do at your age).

At 35 (30 if you want, but not necessary), start doing enriched plasma injections with collagen supplementation. You'll need money for that. So you need your own source of income and savings. It's not very expensive, though, and will slow the ageing process.

Do NOT spend money on expensive clothing, jewelry, shoes or cars that you can save, save, SAVE (savings for a rainy day keep stress and its horrid murderous son cortisol at bay), or maybe (after saving, saving and investing is super important) spend on your personal trainer, a good diet or the plasma injections. You will always look better at a healthy weight and with a healthy skin on cheap clothes than with designer clothes and unhealthy.

No need to spend a lot right now, as long as you don't do stupid stuff you should look 20something when you're 30. Avoid illegal drugs and mostly tobacco, lead a healthy lifestyle and you should be OK.

This may not be well received here, but aside from religious skin care rituals, I started yearly minimal Juvaderm injections at the age of 30 to maintain what I had and prevent wrinkles, not to change my appearance. 9 years later and many people think I look 10 years younger and I don’t add filters to my photos.

It is risky and can be abused. I chose a dermatologist that does the models from a local agency because I knew he would have more attention to detail.

Use retinol daily to keep your collagen and elastin strong and prevent wrinkles/hooded eyelids.

Try keto or a low-sugar diet.

Facial exercises.

Check out r/scincareaddiction. Good luck!

Hydration! I have oily skin; when I was younger I tried to get rid of all the oil and it just never worked. Now I realise that the skin produces oil if it's dehydrated, so now I work on hydrating my face and replenishing my moisture barrier. My skin is less oily than before. I also wished I used BHA and AHA products earlier. They work so well at giving me perfectly smooth skin!

r/skincareaddiction is great, but I love r/asianbeauty even more. Their daily help thread is great for you if you're building your first routine. Everyone is very helpful there.

Protect your skin while your young

Cleanser should be low ph / close to your own skin Use an essence AM serum PM serum Moisturise SPF!!! The best way to keep young

I use Dermalogica and have for a long time. I used to get facials every month. It’s expensive but I’ve learned a lot from reputable aestheticians. Take care of your skin while young!

Also good diet helps my skin a lot. Since I have eczema, eating a clean diet dramatically improves my skin.

Besides what has been said here: reduce your sugar intake (also from "good" sources such as fruit), look into intermittent fasting.

Any suggestions for acne? I am on birth control and recently began spironolactone. I feel like I’ve tried everything, but my skin isn’t bad enough for accutane.

This book is my skin nutrition bible. It is so beautiful and aesthetic, organizes ingredients by season, explains all nutritional content of different foods, and includes skin care tips in the back. Get. It. Eat Beautiful

People have different skin needs. What works for one lady might not do anything for you and vice versa. For me it's astringents like menthol. It controls cysts and inflammation, which I am very prone to. Nothing has worked better than a menthol cleanser, applied to my face daily and a moisturizer also containing some type of astringent. If it stings my face I know it's working.
