Is it always a choice between looking young and having high testosterone? It can't be both. You decide between being a femboy or high t man. All those products contain hormones disrupting chemicals, also sun it's essential for you.

You guys should check https://www.sunscreentester.com/the-results/Methodology is not perfect, but indicates that;
1. Asian suncreens are weaker that Western ones on average. Especially Japanese ones. In vitro at least. And obviously people have been using some of these poor-reviewed ones just fine, no burning, etc. Perhaps interaction with sweat and sun activates the UV filter somehow. But surely it gives me a peace of mind that a lot of brands just simply block the UV without requiring some weird shit to happen first on your skin.
2. Physical suncreen can protect from UVA just fine. Physical filters don't automatically mean bad UVA protection.

https://regimenlab.com/blogs/labnotes/breaking-down-the-science-a-comprehensive-comparison-of-barrier-repair-productsFound this comparison of barrier repair products. Methodology is a bit suspect but it agrees with people's observation that Aestura and Illiyoon are not as good as it used to be. In addition to reformulations they probably reduce ceramide content and other expensive ingredients as cost-cutting measures.The result also shows that Atopalm deserves it reputation.

Do silk masks do anything for maskne? My boss at my volunteer gig is a covidiot who requires all volunteers to mask. Volunteering there has seriously fucked up my skincare gains. Adding in azelaic acid has helped somewhat but I think I'll need antibiotics to clear this shit up. My skin was spotless before I started working with that tard

What would you guys recommend to someone who has always struggled with extremely oily skin?
I wash my face with twice a day with Cerave Blemish Control Cleanser and then use a light, gel moisturizer with hyaluronic acid from Nivea. Not even 30 minutes later and my face is oily as fuck again as if I didn't washed it at all. It looks all shiny and disgusting. I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm almost pushing 40 and I still have to deal with pimples and oily skin.

Hey boys, I've never thought of doing a skincare routine but thought I'd give it a try. How do these skincare products interact with shaving?I shave every morning, do I put on a cleanser first, then shave, then put on an aftershave balm and then moisturize the rest of my face? Do I moisturize my entire face?

what does it mean if my nose/cheeks are flaky/dry, but when i moisturize it comes off as super oily after a bit of time, that i then have to blot my face to look matte/normal?i have a routine that manages it to an okay degree, but in the shower lately it's like toward the end of it, my skin is soft enough that if i start just rubbing my nose with my hands, i get a lot of dead skin rolling up and off of it. i know that shit isn't normal. i heard it could be caused by over exfoliation, but i calmed that routine down to once a week and it seemed like the dead skin problem only piled on worse.what the fuck yo? what do?

Do you need to apply tretinoin every single night to maintain? I've been using tretinoin 0.05% since august 2nd. I started out using it three times a week, then I moved to four times a week and two weeks ago I added in a fifth day and it caused the skin on my chin get wrinkled, red flaky and sting. I asked on reddit and they said you have to use tret every night and you can only use it 3 times a week after a year to maintain. I started using it every night 5 days ago and I have tons of acne on my lip area
