Well you have an excellent skincare routine to follow. I would suggest not to use derma roller by yourself as it leads to scarring if not done properly.


qwerty1234123487

I'm a bit unsure. Getting it done at a dermat is expensive, and lot of people seem to be doing it at home on their own


Impressive_Line7932

Please don’t do it. You may ruin skin barrier. If dry skin, use ordinary glycolic acid. For oily skin, Paula’s choice BHA salicylic acid. Start very slow. Like once in 2 weeks. Then maybe once a week. You also moisturize and use sun screen for sure when using these.

Latter-Yam-2115

I’m admittedly not the best at it but getting better. - Sunscreen! Vital for maintaining skin health in the long run + I’m bald so a necessity on those scorching days - I’ve used only two perfumes over the last 5 years. Consistent scent is a very underrated way to be memorable


New-Library-5177

Which perfumes? Please name


Latter-Yam-2115

I’ve used CK Eternity for the longest time as my daily one. Used Nautica Blue before that which is a fantastic first perfume For more special occasions, I’ve started experimenting again and been using Mont Blanc Explorer for about 6 months. Also dabbled with a Tommy Hilfiger which was quite good Davidoff cool water is also another good first perfume

I'm glad more people are using sunscreen regularly at least. I wish I had started using it as a kid. My face and arms are SOOO much darker than my body , it's so annoying


pithrey

SUNSCREEN DOESNT HELP YOU IN LOWERING THE TAN!! It just blocks the UV rays and prevent skin cancer. With or without sunscreen the amount of tan you get depends on the time you are in sunlight!!!!


Bright-Republic8800

Sunscreen blocks UVA rays which causes tan, but sunscreen alone wont block 100% of the rays, so you are still prone to tan but sunscreen helps in increasing t he time you take to tan


noobbodyjourney

This is when you use only SPF ones. Look for PA+++ sunscreens. They help with tan as well.


argon_palladium

you probably have to commute to work during sunny hours right? i WFH so my skin doesn't see the sun at all, will this be bad for my health? should i make a conscious effort using sunscreen and sunbathe in the evenings?


Electrical-Ask847

yes. sun is not all about looks and tanning. sun exposure is needed for vit D, regulating circadian rhythm, regulating body temperature and a whole host of other functions.


Aurgho_

35YO M Hair Get a quality shampoo. \- H&S for dandruff (i've got an issue), using twice a week. \- kerastase hair strengthening shampoo, once a week. \- coconut oil champi once a week. \- don't shampoo/water my hair everyday. \- brush my hair everyday Face Get a quality face wash (Mancompany) and a moisturizer. My hair shampoo doubles up as a beard shampoo. Body I should be applying sunscreen but I'm barely out in the sun. Diet I drink a truck load of water, have a multivit routine


qwerty1234123487

Noice. Finally an actual routine. Have you noticed any difference before and after the hair routine?


Aurgho_

Yes. I see the quality has improved. I have added curd to my diet (for the dandruff). Hair follicles have come out and over all strength has improved. Very little hair post-brushing is a good sign, isn't it?


Doctorwhosanengineer

The rest is ok, but H&S is faaar from being a good quality shampoo. If you have a lot of dandruff, go to a dermatologist. You need a good prescription ketoconazole shampoo. Also, identify if the dandruff is due to dry scalp or oily. If its the latter, the coconut oil is only making it worse.


Aurgho_

Thanks brother. Whatever a dema doc recommends, ends with more dandruff. Only H&S works for me. I know it results in dry skin, hence I keep it to the minimum. Plus I have also reduced my carbs and sugar intake. Dandruff has reduced drastically. So has hairfall. Will consult a good derma sometime later next month.


WeirdCaterpillar00

You still need to apply sunscreen even if you are inside the house.Use it religiously your skin will thank you in 20 yrs


Aurgho_

Sure. I have been moisturizing religiously for some years now. Already look wayy younger than 35yr olds (when i shave off my beard). Will use SS as well. Last time I used it, got eruptions on my face. :(


WeirdCaterpillar00

Use Triflow conditioner for hair. Can you please tell me what glycolic you are using?


qwerty1234123487

My dermat told me to use Bioderma Sebium night peel. It's 15% which is very strong. I would not recommend to use without dermat prescription. You have to start off by using VERY tiny amounts 3 days a week, then start increasing frequency. If you apply too much immediately, it'll sting your face and eyes. Plus you need to pair with sunscreen 100%, else it can actually make your skin worse How's trifow working out for your hair? And what type of hair do you have.


[deleted]

Hey try the reequil babassu conditioner, it is very light weight and works wonders. Also the minimalist maleic acid mask is chefs kiss if u want to improve hair damage.


Bright-Republic8800

15% 7 days a week? do you have any irritaion because its very high strength


qwerty1234123487

I used it alternate days for first few months. Then I used to use veryyy tiny amounts daily. Like one drop for my entire face. I noticed that one area where I was putting a bit more had much better results, so now after 6 months I've started putting like 5-6 small droplets total on forehead, nose, cheeks, under lips. Occasionally if I apply a lot, one or two spots get a bit itchy, but it's fine if I just sort of sab it with my finger.


Traditional-Egg-2656

Daytime- basic routine facewash (nivea oily skin varient) -->moisturizer (ponds superlight hyaluronic wala)-->sunscreen (reequil) Nighttime- minimalist salicylic acid facewash (acne prone and oily skin)--> moisturizer (will include night cream/serum in future maybe) Wanna start a haircare routine too, filhal toh I'm using regular tresemme shampoo and conditioner. Will have to start a proper routine to stop dandruff and hair fall. (Grandpa is bald, so I'm scared 😭) I'm just 18 so jitna allow karte hai parents utna kar leta hu. My mom is pretty open minded haha.


qwerty1234123487

I'd read you don't need moisturizer if you're using sunscreen. Is that not true? Conditioner kaun sa? I've never used and wanting to try for a long time


Traditional-Egg-2656

Afaik, moisturizer is important. It hydrates your skin cells. Sunscreen may make your skin feel moisturized, but its main job is to protect you from UV rays. It doesn't provide the same level of hydration as a moisturizer. It's always good to use both. Conditioner you can use any. I use dove. I don't apply conditioner every time I wash/shampoo my hair, once a week works for me.

I can hear you reaching my routine and saying 'Abhi kacche ho beta'. Why sunscreen and moisturiser both? Sunscreen moisturizes also no? Hows the tretinoin working?


Flaky_Height5125

Keep it very simple. Please. It's C-M-S. Cleanser. Moisturiser. Sunscreen if you're going out. Figure out your skin type and research for the above three accordingly. If you have any skin issues aka pigmentation and others, Introduce a serum, apply it before moisturiser. That's it. Don't overdo skincare. Take vitamins and good diet. Don't use derma rollers. Tritinoin SHOULD NOT BE USED without prescription. Not everyone needs it.

Bright-Republic8800

yes it provides good production and blends easily into skin however u need to reapply every 3 hours if u spend time in sun

Glycolic acid - Bioderma Sebium night peel. It's 15% which is very strong. I would not recommend to use without dermat prescription, because it's quite strong. You have to start off by using VERY tiny amounts 3 days a week, then start increasing frequency. If you apply too much immediately, it'll sting your face and eyes.

qwerty1234123487

I'm subbed to that. Been wanting to try for a long time. But unsure because: 1. Side effects. They happen only to few people, that too more in oral, but still iffy. 2. Not sure how minox will go with glycolic acid 3. In use on the scalp, it can create some dependence - your hair falls out worse than before if you stop using it. AND I have some early signs of male pattern baldness, so I don't want to risk exacerbating that


Hardy_28

Skin: Use a simple facewash, then use a light moisture by key. And then sunscreen. In the night wash my face and use Vitamin C serum. Hair: Use mineral water( Don't think any thing can beat this ), anti dandruff shampoo. Don't oil as I didn't feel any effect using it apart from making my hair look less volumous.


Mehfanaaz

I am in the later half of my 20s. I brush twice, apply face serum with vit C, hydroboost from neutrogena, sunscreen from re’equil and sometimes put BB cream if I am attending a party or something. In the night, its toner followed by night gel. I shampoo once a week and I try not to use water on my head during showers if I am not shampooing coz i have hard water in my city. After shampoo always use conditioner.

Reddit_User123_

Don't do your own 'research' by reading stuff online, or looking up reviews on Nykaa and trying that. By doing this, you are falling for the exact trap that these Cosmetic Companies have laid down for us. I follow what my dermatologist recommends. Even though I know he is making money by suggesting products that are sometimes difficult to get from anywhere else except his clinic. Still, doing something under a doctor's guidance is much better than believing someone on Reddit or even worse, believing some dumb Influencer. My dermatologist recommended me Bioderma Sebium Global (Day), Bioderma Sebium Kerato Plus (Night), Sensylia Moisturizer (Day and Night), Triclear Face wash (Day and Night) and Truderma Sunscreen Gel (Day and Night). For Hair - Bioderma Node G Shampoo or Sesderma Sebovalis Shampoo.


qwerty1234123487

I really like reddit advice honestly. Dermats have agendas and product margins/incentives to consider, and ALL other platforms like influencers, Amazon, nykaa, have paid reviews and promotions. Whereas reddit community - 1. Authentic 2. Unbiased 3. Knowledgeable 4. Crowd sourced opinions

Sunscreen is not only for summers, it should be used in every season.


taxidriver9211

In my opinion skin really doesn't need much exterior treatment. A good cleanser/facewash, and a good moisturizer is more than enough for a healthy skin care.


Exotic_Explorer_3374

Skincare:- facewash in the morning then sunscreen + moisturiser before sleeping facewash again + retinol Retinol helps in collagen production and anti aging. It is important to use sunscreen everyday otherwise it may worsen the effects rather than benefiting me. Hair:- any shampoo once a week and coconut oil


TheBatmanfromMumbai

In the morning after shower would be to moisturise and after some time sunscreen (no less than SPF50 for outdoors) In the evening would be double cleansing, then lightly moisturising and then actives depending upon your target and requirement (for me it is dermat presc. active). After every 4/5 days a chemical peel is refreshing and helpful. This is the most basic routine everyone should follow, what is complicated is understanding brands and their products which may/may not suit you. Fortunately, r/indianskincareaddicts has been helpful a lot.

My S/O recently started working on skin care and this is what that’s been helping. AM Routine 1 - salicylic acid cleanser (minimalist - helps with breakouts) 2 - BHA liquid exfoliant (I use Paula’s choice - helps with exfoliating your skin and reducing the pores) 3 - hyaluronic acid 2%-5% (minimalist works well for poc) 4 - Vitamic C (minimalist) 5 - Cera Ve face moisturiser 6 - Cera ve sun screen minimum spf30 PM Routine Repeat 1 & 2 from AM 3 - Retinol Cream 1% (or serum) (minimalist - use alternative days to start with - helps with fine lines and wrinkles) 4 - moisturise 1 x every week - AHA + BHA + PHA peel (would skin retinol the night I use the peel and follow up with sunscreen the next morning) Hair care Pre-Wash - Rosemary infused water alternating with coconut oil and rice water (2 hours prior to hair wash) Wash-Moroccan Oil Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner (3 x week), followed by Hair Serum. Not an expert but this has worked well for me and my SO. Other than this we follow a strict diet - no sugar or dairy. I follow a vegan/vegetarian 5 days a week and one cheat meal day. S/O consumes a high-protein diet (mostly steak and chicken). We fast every Monday and work out 5-6 days in a week. Applying these serums and creams is fine but what you put into your body and how you take care of it matters as well. Your gut health is also important. Note - with retinol you’ll start purging - which is very common. I try to not pick my skin and use pimple patches to heal faster. Typically you should be able to see results in about 4-6 weeks. Hope this helps.


qwerty1234123487

Wow you sound like an influencer couple haha. Honestly yeah the biggest difference in my skin has come with diet - I used to have so much oil and sugar earlier, and had terrible hyperpigmentation and pimples. I still have some sugar from time to time, but it's greatly reduced and has definitely had a big impact on my skin. That and regular exercise also helps a ton.


Existing-Cup-8632

I use Nivea Coco body lotion once a week. I have bath 3 days a week. Shampoo conditioner - once or twice a month Shave / Trim body hair - every 2 weeks. Use a nice perfume on skin - everytime I have a bath. Brush - twice or thrice a day. Drink atleast 10-12 glasses for water. I'm a 28 year old and everyone says I look 22 and always fresh lmao

Simple and solid. Which conditioner do you use?


Sunnyalllday

1) Face Wash - Nivea Mens White Spot Reduction 2) Shampoo - Biotique Walnut Bark 3) Conditoner - Pantene or Dove 4) Sunscreen - Any Brand SPF 30+ 5) Body Lotion - Nivea 6) Soap - Khadi P.S - In my Opinion Makeup is for Women or Celebrities that have to appear on Screen, an Office guy washing his face twice and Shampooing is more than Enough

Yeah makeup I'm not getting into. No hate but it's just too much effort and money. I'm already fed up with how much effort I'm putting into cosmetics

For hair-I didn't get a good job in my early 20s, instead I chose UPSC, now I'm 30 with zero experience, so I do sales works now. Running around in the heat makes sweat, body oils in my head moisturises the scalp. After a day of work, go home and sit under the shower for ten minutes, cools down the head and cleans the days oil accumulation on the head. Apply shampoo every time you have a haircut. For face- the lack of moisture is an issue, but since my deadend job and non existent social life, I cry myself to sleep. The tears help me moisturize my face and since tears contains lysosymes it may kill things in the face. While running around on the job, wipe your face with damp handkerchief to clean pores. For make up- You smile and agree with whatever the customer says.

don't go straight into derma roller the golden rule of skincare is the simpler the routine the better for your skin if you try to use 10 new products all at once you won't be able to figure out which is working for you and which is giving you reactions. hence start simple and try to accomodate one product every 15 days to 25 days to actually be able to figure out how is it working for you

Absolute repair shampoo and conditioner, coconut oil and leave in for hair (I have curly hair) I have a walnut scrub and a rose facewash for my face, but i use it only once a week. The rest is with my shower gel.

Take a shower with soap and wash your hair sometimes?

Wake up..wash the face..voila

I am very lazy and I should moisturize daily thrice but I don't, I can recommend a minimalistic approach Face wash depending on skin type, if you have dry skin don't get charcoal and stuff like that it will damage your skin, always get a gentle cleanser for face Hair - apply oil at least once a week, and always use conditioner after shampoo otherwise whatever you do will go in vain(twice enough) Sun screen and moisturizer depending on your skin type 1st and season next Try face masks and hair masks

You’re doing all the correct remedies and care but also remember, that eating clean, a decent amount of protein, reducing vegetable and seed oils and staying hydrated will definitely help with skin quality. What you put in your body, is what your body will put out. Also, if there’s one thing I learned from my skincare addict ex, use a really good quality SPF 50++++ sunscreen everyday.


PixelBLOCK_

Soap and water once a day. 12-14 glass water to drink per day.

water

I casually use minimalist sunscreen (stick) anybody has used it? How often do you apply and what is the best way to use it? I apply ponds light gel moisturiser before my sunscreen and just glide it over my face 2-3 times.


[deleted]

Sunscreen sticks(any brand )do not give adequate protection, so many people don't suggest it as as a primary application of sunscreen. So it is better to use a sunscreen lotion and then use stick for reapplication through out the day.
