I got suckered. I saw some posts about how men don't take care of their skin, and how it has more of an effect as we age. So I thought, what's the harm? Let's give it a try!

Welp, after five days of putting a tiny bit of moisturiser on my face, I have a couple of tiny pimples on my nose. I haven't had zits in decades, and here we are. I stopped applying the moisturiser a couple of weeks ago and I'm still getting those zits.

Thanks skincare.

Skincare isn't a scam, it's mostly trial and error, everyone has different skin and your natural biome is different. Lots of factors for LOTS of different products.

It's a trial and error routine that may take no take at all or take a while before you find products that work for you, but I can promise you there are products for you that work.. also you have to wash your face before applying most things to your skin, and you can buy gentle cleansers like ones with glycerine in them.
