    Real talk: if you're white (honestly everyone), you should be at least putting sunscreen on your face if you have any kind of sun exposure daily. Anything exposed would be better, but the long term damage to your skin is going to age you a lot faster.

    Ok that note, moisturizing is absolutely amazing for keeping your skin looking younger longer. You may think I'm being annoying now but this is something that becomes obvious once you hit your thirties and you start recognizing the difference between your peers who took care of their skin and those who didn't.

      How to i actually take care of my skin?

      So much of the products promoted seem like a total grift.

      What does an actually effective skin care look like?

      What about vitamin d in natural form (plus you won't make it through sunscreen), coenzime Q10 (for it's synthesis in sun you need chlorofile in your blood = eat anything green 1-2h prior), a bunch of other "chemical" things and proven psychological benefits of sun exposure (very likely connected to the aforementioned biochemistry) - as opposed to cosmetics and skin "age"?

      I am sunbathing systematically 10-15-20 min daily depending on UV index/time of year/day (plus say, for chlorophile/CoenzimeQ10 I drink a cup of macha) while using any cover in the meantime = hat/glasses/sunscreen/banal walking faster and/or on shady side of street etc.)
