Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey all. I'm a guy, 25 and very new to this. I'd appreciate if anyone could take a few minutes to help me out. I've done a lot of research and have spent hours reading posts and wikis on this sub, but still haven't started a routine. Where I live most of the popular products praised here are unavailable, but even with the very limited range of r/SkincareAddiction approved products I still feel overwhelmed by the ammount of choice and can't come to a decision.I thought I'd keep things simple and just choose a moisturizer for starters. The only brands available that I've seen recommended here are:Avene, Bioderma, Balea, Eucerin, Sebamed, La Roche-Posay, Hada-Labo. About my skin:Age:25, MaleSkin type:I think I have combination skin. My nose is almost always greasy with big pores, but my forehead and cheeks look normal.Skin condition:I have very acne prone skin. It's not very severe, but once every week I get at least one huge pustule either on my cheek area, on my forehead and less frequently right on the tip of my nose. Sometimes I leave them be, but sometimes they look so disgusting that I pierce them with a sterilized needle and gently squeeze the huge amount of pus out and then disinfect them with alcohol. No matter what I do, after they go away they always leave red or brown spots behind that take ages to disappear. Some of the most severe ones have even left me with mild scars.Also, my forehead and the area below my lower lip are riddled with closed comedones and my nose with open comedones, but all of these aren't very noticeable except for up-close.I'm sporting a short beard and mustache, and interestingly, the entire area of my face covered with facial hair is almost always clear, acne free and generally younger looking, which leads me to believe that the cause of my acne could be outside influences like sun exposure, dust, etc which the rest of my face isn't protected from.Skin proclivity:Pigmentation. I tan very easily. RoutineI don't have one, except for the cheap generic 30 SPF sunscreen I put on my face before I go out on really sunny days.MoisturizerFrom what I've read the best thing for my skin would be a hydrating gel or lotion instead of a cream, right? There's so many products to choose from. So far I'm looking at the most simple ones (because I still have no idea what the ones with a bunch of extra ingredients do). So far I have these 2 in mind:Sebamed Clear Face Care GelorAvene Hydrance Optimale Hydrating Cream LightI've yet to visit a few more stores here to check the range of La Roche-Posay and Bioderma products available. I hope someone here with more experience or someone who's had similar problems can shed some light on whether some other products would be more suitable for me.Thank you for your time.
