[Routine help] I know next to nothing about skincare. Please help me with my routine? Feeling down on myself.
I’m a 29 year old male living in the UK, and I take Testosterone.
I have combination skin that is both super dry and super oily at the same time. I suffer with closed comedones and have had the same ones on my face for YEARS. I’ve tried quite a few things to get rid of them, to no avail. They’re really bothering me.
I also have a damaged skin barrier from trying to use Retinol 0.2% but using too much. I suffer from fine lines around my eyes, like really bad crows feet for my age. My skin looks dry and dull and tired. I also have enlarged pores, slightly red skin on my nose, and puffy dark eye bags all the time.
Loads of people my age have beautiful, plump, hydrated, shining skin and mine looks awful. I lost my hair not too long ago, which really knocked my confidence; so having good skin would help a lot.
Current routine:
I wash my face with facial wash, and then I put on Aveeno oat cream. I use Zelens power D serum once a day to help heal my damaged skin barrier. That’s all. I’m open to spending quite a bit on products to help my skin.
