I need some advice on skincare. I have a bit of acne and just generally bad skin on my face. I know there are some psycho looksmaxxers on here, any tips or routines? What kind of products should I use? I should probably mention that I have sensitive skin.

I'm not a crazy looksmaxxer, but I've had acne since I was 13, and now I'm almost completely clear of it, so I can give you some advice. JUST SEE A DERMATOLOGIST. Seriously, it's better not to take any risks, because using any medications can make things worse. And as cliched as it may sound: drink more water and try to avoid high-gluten foods. Determine your skin type and look online for suitable skincare products. Good luck ;)

I learned one thing, my acne seems to be related to my constipation. I used to do a number two every two to three days. After I fixed my constipation, my acne stopped flaring upDon’t use medication. Try natural laxatives that won’t cause colonic inertia, like 100% tomato juice or prune juice.

Don't just go to a dermatologist also go to a nutritionist. Maybe something you eat is causing them. When I was a teenager I had acne for a long ass time and the dermatologist just pumped me up with cremes and antibiotics. Later in my late 20s and early 30s I figured it out it's the frying oil that makes my face explode with acne.

Only things that worked for me were birth control pills (it's night and day compared when i didn't take it) and also less stress. If you have an abusive family or bf, leaving will help your skin lol. I also use *only* water to clean my skin, of course always washing my hands with soap before that.

Commit to a healthy diet. Low carb paleo mostly. Do not eat wheat, dairy, onions, unhealthy fats, etc. Eat good old fashioned meat and vegetables. Take skin vitamins

I use some generic-ass skin cleanser shit every time I shower. Don't feel like it makes a huge difference but you could always placebo yourself

1. eat healthier if you're primarily eating junk
2. invest in a couple pieces of good skincare. A cleanser/exfoliant (chemical not physical exfoliants as physical causes micro tears that will aggravate your acne, I would recommend a salicylic acid cleanser twice a week, or if you need gentler for your skin a PHA exfoliant every day), and a moisturiser and spf daily- these are usually enough (use in that order).
3. Depending on how bad it is, just save time and go to a dermatologist, nobody on here can really tell the state of your skin just from a post

>Wash/change your pillow case, or fresh towel over it every night. This one's huge.
>Avoid excess grease, but especially stuff like potato chips and other junk food
>Avoid chocolate
>Wash face every morning and night. Find a facial wash that works, but doesn't turn your face red or make you ultra sensitive to sunlight.
>Don't pop them, you'll get scars. Only open white heads gently with a light scratch/peal. If there's blood, you did it wrong.
>Don't touch your face, especially not with your finger tips.
>Sunlight / tanning helps, but be careful of damaging your skin.
