The arguably most famous skincare scene in movie history is a man's, pic related.

Anyway, I don't have separate morning and night routines. I work from home and just do my routine whenever I finally have to go out that day.

Before shower:
* Oil-to-foam cleanser, rubbed on dry face with dry hands for 1-2 minutes focusing on blackhead-prone areas and large pores.
* Wet hands and continue rubbing for 30sec-1min.


In shower:
* Hyaluronic acid facial cleanser, applied to face at the start of my shower and left on while I scrub the rest of my body.
* Body wash with moisturizer (since full-body moisturizing is way more annoying out of the shower)

After Shower:
* Retinol anti-wrinkle lotion on face, it takes time to sink in so I wait ~1 min before applying my other lotions.
* Niacin cream on face
* Facial moisturizer with sunscreen, at least SPF 30 if not higher.
* Glycolic acid on armpits and inner thighs every 3-4 days.

It's working really well so far. I'm 35 but people usually assume I'm in my mid-late 20's.

I’ve often wondered what I should do for skincare as a guy but never knew who to ask.

This seems expensive and complicated. How long have you been doing this for? Why do you put acid on your armpits?

Just lace all your food with collagen powder.

I should have mentioned that I'm also a guy.

>This seems expensive and complicated
It was a bit annoying at first, but over time it just became habit and now I go through the whole process without thinking whenever I shower.

As for cost, minus the body wash (which I consider basic hygiene and not skincare), it comes out to about $22 per month between all the products I buy. I'm not using a lot each day so they last long. For example, the retinol lotion only requires about a pea-sized amount to cover my entire face, so a single tube lasts 3 months.

>How long have you been doing this for?
About 3 years now. I noticed as I was entering my 30's that I was finally starting to look older and wanted to delay time's effects. My sister originally helped me create this routine.

>Why do you put acid on your armpits?
It kills the bacteria that cause body odor. I wear deodorant but the acid ensures that even after a long day in the sun followed by a gym session I don't smell bad.

Literally saw big displays of collagen drinks in the grocery store yesterday
