Your are doing fine in my opinion. Don't overcomplicate your life.

If your not already; use a moisturizer with SPF.

You could also use add an active eye cream to your routine. The eyes are the focal point of your face, and also the place where aging and lifestyle makes the first appearance. Being pro active here is an investment.

Don't use facial scrubs, there is literally nothing to gain from them but skin damage. Instead use light chemical exfoliants. I use my gf's Paula's Choice stuff, I think it's like 2% AHA/BHA, once or twice a week. It's very gentle ( no stinging or red skin), but makes a HUGE difference. If I don't use it, i can notice dead skin building up and my pores enlarging after a week or so. When I use it periodically, my skin is tight af and looks smoother. The shit is expensive though, but it's a large bottle.

I recommend most of Paula's choice products, they are very well made and famous for being among the best. They're quite costly though but worth it.

Also your routine is okay, I would definitely add some 30+ spf in it mornings. Buying a moisturizer with SPF in it is an absolute scam as the concentration would require you to use a 1/10th of a bottle to get the SPF advertised. Buy a pure SPF scream and use it after moisturizer.

If your skin tone is uneven, you can use a moisturizer with niacinamide inside, it does a very good job evening the skin tone and eliminating redness/dark spots after a few months.

Less is more. I'll try to find the old article on RP main and post it here. Basically avoid chemicals and harsh cleansers (soaps) on your face, shave with a mild cleanser or lotion instead of shaving cream, moisturize with something natural (shea butter, coconut oil, jojaba oil). Maybe mix in a mask every so often, or use a witch hazel based toner for pore minimization. I'd say minimizing sun exposure is much better than a chemical based SPF (they just found out that it goes straight in your bloodstream and are unsure of the consequences currently).
