a gay mans just came up to me in trader joe’s & said verbatim “oh my good. your skin. drop that routine king” 

so i told him “i haven’t washed my face in over a decade“

he was appalled as he probably spends $200 a month on his face (his skin looked fine)

so let me now share the truth with you

(i don’t wash my face)

preface: 1) everyone’s skin is different; what works for me may not work for you: you need to experiment 2) diet is the biggest factor 

>i cleanse my face maybe 6 times a year; usually only if i was out in the garden or in lake water, etc.

>i use a $10 hyaluronic acid almost daily which contains vitamins B & E (for leveling tone)

>i use squalene oil almost daily (squalene is a derivative of olive oil with a size much closer to face oil = better absorption)

>i only buzz my face; never shave

>i exfoliate only as needed

>i get 20 mins of morning sun; do 20 mins in steam room; followed by ice cold shower (daily)

>i take biotin (d)

>i don’t ever take scorching hot showers
