Skincare to improve skin?

[killerman]

Hi everyone, i'm looking for good cream (or any kind of skincare) to improve the quality of my skin. I already eat good healthy food and my skin is already good (i look younger than most people my age) but i'm looking for something that will make my skin look EVEN BETTER as I'm always looking to improve myself and take things to the next level. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It's hard to say because everyone's skin is different and reacts differently to creams and moisturizers. Best thing to do would be to figure out what type of skin you have (oily, normal, sensitive, combination, etc.) and then look for the highest-reviewed products for that skin type.

In addition to creams and products like that, you can also do other things. If you're not taking multivitamins, I highly recommend starting asap. Loads of nutritional benefits and Vitamins D and E are great for your skin. Idk how much time you spend out in the sun, but you get a lot of vitamin D that way. If you're spending a lot of time in the sun regularly, use sunscreeen. Your skin will keep that youthful appearance when all your masculine competition starts turning into leather. Definitely use lotion multiple times a day. If you're going next-level skin care, all that is pretty crucial.

No, vitamin D3 is the only one you should need to take. All others are better to be gotten through a proper diet.

Skincare has been very important to me over the years and it has been hard to find the right products that work well with my skin. I have very oily skin, and I have done almost everything to change this and it has not worked (diet, no more soda, healthier lifestyle). The main reason I started eating healthier and becoming more health conscious in general was because of getting pimples, it made me very conscious. I know these changes work for some people but it didn't work for me. However, I follow a pretty simple skincare routine now and it keeps my face looking good (I still can pass for a college student) although I still occasionally get pimples.

For a guy, all you really need is a cleanser and a moisturizer. Some people switch products for different times of the year due to weather but I use the same products all year round. For a cleanser, I use St. Ives green tea scrub (http://amzn.to/2gWCVQ8). You can buy this for like 3-4 dollars at Target or any drug store. I have tried more expensive brands and it's generally a waste of money. This works good for me because it doesn't dry my skin out and my skin is oily.

Moisturizer's can be a little more tricky. It took me a while to find a moisturizer that worked with my skin, I honestly almost gave up hope. Most made my skin feel heavy and didn't absorb well, leaving me with more grease/oily. But now I use Aveeno Clear Complex Daily Moisturizer (http://amzn.to/2gWvRS3). I would buy this on amazon if you have prime, otherwise it's like $16 dollars in stores.

Daily routine:
Morning/Night: wash face with scrub then wait 5 mins and apply moisturizer.
When I get home from work: wash face with warm water, then re-apply moisturizer. (this is because my face is oily).

To figure out your skin type, wash your face regularly and then use oil blotters or something else that can absorb oil after about 5-6 hours. You can also go outside if it's sunny and use a mirror or something. Direct sunlight helps to spot oil on your face quick. If you have a decent amount of oil, then you have oily skin. Most guys don't have oily skin though, it's more common with women.
