Skin care routine for youthful glowing skin?

Computer screens don't give you an aged look.

Alcohol/Drugs, diet, sleep, exercising, sun exposure, genetics, and skin routine contribute to how your face looks.

Alcohol/drugs: If you're drinking several times a week for a few years you are going to age yourself. There is no doubt. Drugs age you, and alcohol is the easiest drug to abuse in college. If you chose to drink, you chose to age your face.

Diet: Eat more veggies. You should be eating tons of veggies. A good snack is a head of lettuce, or a fistful of celery, or so many carrots you literally start to see through walls.

Drink more water. You should be pissing all the time and it should be clear. Your cells need water. A hydrated face is a face that glows. Models will literally spray water on their face an hour before a photo shoot.

Sleep: Sounds like you're in college, So you're probably screwed here. But you need to rest correctly. For most people they get they are most rested when the go to bed at 10pm and sleep for at least 7.5 hours. Going to bed at 2am and sleeping until 10am is not as good as sleeping from 10pm-6am.

Exercise: Lift. Also throw in high intensity interval session or cardio workout 2/week if you don't already. These will make you sweat a lot which is good for the skin. Assuming you are showering immediately after.

Sun exposure: You need 20 mins of sunlight a day to get the Vitamin D your body needs. If this is not possible take vitamin D supplements and eat canned sardines/salmon.

Skin routine: This is the step that will have the weakest effect. If you are doing everything above and have been for ~6 months then it makes sense to start worrying about a skin routine. Do you have dry or oily skin? Acne? Your routine mostly depends on the answers to those. To start use normal bar soap and luke warm water (not hot) to wash your face every other day.

Have you tried using Blue Light filters like flux? Not sure if it has any effect on skin but I know it definite helps with sleep. Worth a shot as good sleep is good for skin anyhow.

That said, get a moisturizer and exfoliator. I post I read on TRP said he used coconut oil and Dove Men exfoliator I believe. Avoid sugar foods.

Apple cider vinegar, moisturizer of some sort, and high quality sun screen

Fresh clean sheets once a week and drinking lots of water will go a long way.

Vitamin Injections, Epitalon, HGH, juice / drink insane amounts of carrots and oranges.

Sounds like you need better sleep, fresh air, and a little sunshine.

Having a lot of healthy saturated fats like virgin coconut oil in your diet will help too

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. 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. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
