[Personal] Does anyone else just feel like being done with it all sometimes?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I know how the title sounds lol. But what I mean is if anyone else ever just feels like being done with skincare in particular?Dgmw, I love this sub and I've learned a lot from it as far as actives and routines and holy grail products are concerned and I am so thankful that there is a community like this where I can usually come with all my questions and concerns.But after being (semi-)seriously into skincare for a couple of years now, I more and more get the feeling that it's all kind of for naught? At least for me it feels that way. My forehead lines are getting deeper every year, my skin often still has that grainy feeling to it and any "glow" or plumpness a product may provide is usually only very temporary as well. I do feel like I've figured my skin out for the most part by this point but still it often just feels like I'm throwing things at the wall (the "wall" in this scenario being my face) and see what sticks. And countless serums, creams, exfoliators and sunscreens later I feel like none of them make so severe a difference that it's all worth it. The only things that I ever feel like truly affect my skin in a noteworthy way are my age and lifestyle. A week of unhealthy eating and drinking a bit too much will immediately be noticeable, just like a month of healthy living will be visible quite clearly in a way that nothing that comes in a jar ever provides and to be perfectly honest, I get the impression that my skin was tons better a few years ago when I was a vegan yogi and all up in natural skincare when I took off my makeup with castor oil, moisturised with grapeseed oil and wore a daily sunscreen. These days I have all these products that I've seen recommended, I've separated the wheat from the chaff and know what my skin likes and doesn't but it still feels like the overall difference is... well, pretty negligible?And I don't want to offend anyone here who spends so much time educating themselves on this subject and this post even feels lowkey disrespectful to them which is not my intention. I also realise that this post might be downvoted pretty badly but it's an honest question I have been pondering for quite a long while now and just wanted to know if anyone ever feels the same? To just... throw everything out except a moisturiser, a sunscreen and an exfoliator and be done with it?
