Where do I start as a man with minimal knowledge of skin care?

Hello, I’m a 34 year old male who just recently in the last year has decided to take better care of myself. I’ve quit drinking ( March 3rd, 2025) and I’ve been working out and dieting (291lb > 255lb since August). I’ve noticed I’m having issues with loose skin from weight loss already. More so than most people in a similar situation. I’d love some guidance of what to do for my loose skin on my body first.

I’ve also noticed my face has aged significantly, a lot of wrinkles, crepey looking and ofcourse more loose skin. I live in Florida and work in the sun. I’ve been more mindful of putting on sun hats and long sleeve shirts to protect me more. I’ve tried the run of mill sunscreens and they all leave me a greasy mess especially when I start sweating.

I’ve been looking online a lot and I have to say it’s very overwhelming. I’ve tried a couple products. Vanicream for my body( I love what it does for my skin but it’s so thick and hard to spread and takes forever to soak.) tried several body lotions but they never go into my skin and just sit with a greasy top layer (absolutely hate that feeling). A lot of them had fragrance in them and I learned I hate any fragrance apparently. For my face I tried elf products but it seemed to burn a little and make me all red. Tried snail uuuh juice? Slime? Seems to burn me too. And OMFG tried tret cream and that was hell on earth. Burned me for days and make me a lobster too. I’ve tried tret several times no matter how little I use it messes me all up. So my face seems to be sensitive.

I’d love any feedback or advice on where to go from here. I need a good face routine and I guess a body routine? Maybe supplements? Idk. I eat pretty healthy now too so it’s all very disheartening to think I’ll lose all this weight only to look like a floppy flying squirrel with a face like an old Cherokee war chief.

Help identifying this pain.

Hello, so I’ve been running more than usual and started to get this pain in both legs. I thought it was my knees at first but when I went to massage it it’s just below the knee. It’s the tibia itself on the inside of the leg and the top 2-3 inches of the tibia. If I push on it then it hurts more. It’s also gotten rather painful. Like it is difficult to walk now. I ran yesterday but won’t now until this goes away. From what I can tell online this isn’t shin splints. I really couldn’t find much about this specific type and location of pain.

$249 for two phones not normal right?

$249 for two iPhone 15s. Just went from $229-249 for city communication tax?

Called and get it down to $192 a month with the extra plans on the two phones, plus using checking account discount. So $57 less. Pretty good I guess. The $36 on each phone installments hurt pretty good. $72 in phone installments. Got screwed there I guess

Is this normal for two phones?

I’m paying almost $250 for two iPhone 15s on an unlimited plan? Seems like everyone I know is paying $120 for two lines. Now my bill went from $229 to $249 this month and I’m thinking this is just crazy. Am I on some super expensive plan or are they just screwing me? Any ideas how to get this cheaper or should I just go to another company?

Waiting for refund for 3 months. Can’t get person on phone.

Hello my taxes were done and sent on February 16th, then it was rejected because an ex spouse used the child tax credit on marketplace unbeknownst to me. I gather his documents and resent it feb 17th and it was accepted on the 17th. I still haven’t got my refund, on the refund tracker is just says accepted that’s it.

I called a month ago and was immediately transferred to a human easy with one phone call and she told be there nothing she can do to give me more information on my tax return. “The computer” wouldn’t tell her until May 11th apparently for reasons I don’t remember. Anywho I’ve been calling every 30 mins all of yesterday and started early today and the automated thing just says to due to high call volume you can try again tomorrow and good bye. That’s it.

, I just want the money that’s MINE at this point. 3 months waiting. Anyone have any other numbers to try? Or something.
