    How do you learn all this? Could you also explain your face routine? I’m taking down notes here.

      Watching skincare youtube channels and going to a dermatologist.

      My face care is a lot. I’d encourage you to find your own products and routine, but I’ll list mine as an example:

      Daily Mornings:

      • Wash face using a gentle face cleanser (usually in shower, after washing /conditioning hair)
      • Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
      • face specific moisturizer
      • eye creme around eyes
      • Mineral sunscreen (re-apply again in middle of day)

      Daily before bedtime:

      • Wash face with gentle face cleanser
      • Exfoliate face with lactic acid ointment (once per week: sub stronger AHA/BHA peeling solution)
      • Every other day, always skipping peel days: Adapalene (retinol) gel for wrinkle reduction
      • Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
      • face specific moisturizer

      Everything kinda has a purpose, so if you have questions please ask.
