I’m white(according to Hakim, I am a POC because I’m half Irish, half-Russian lol jk), pasty white. So that means when I’m in the sun, which happens quite a lot since I do manual labor outside, I burn not only quickly but harshly too. A few weeks ago I decided to suntan and used sunspray instead of lotion, the spray was so inconsistent and concentrated only in the center of the spray, so I have large swaths and splotches of sunburn. Worse things have happened but it sucks. It looks like I had a red body that someone spray painted white in a few seconds lol. So that point aside, I’ve been trying to take better care of my skin, and I figured I’d ask y’all since I trust you to not just try selling me expensive skincare products and stuff lol. I currently just use some facial wipes to prevent acne (idk if it makes a difference, I’ve never had acne besides like a few rogue pimples) and Aloe Vera just because I heard it’s good for burns and because it sounds good for skin in general. I obviously shower but I think my soap is not really skincare, just regular soap
Always wear sunscreen 💯
If you want some beauty skin care tips I can offer only a few but the best skin care routine is a healthy diet full of veg and minimum alcohol consumption and using a loofah to exfoliate and make sure your skin is free of shite when you bath/shower.
Loofahs are awesome, not to get gross but who tf wants to touch every square inch of their body with their fingers? 1.) That’s gross no matter how much soap you need, 2.) it’s faster to use a loofah, 3.) the exfoliating effect is awesome. I fucking Love me a Loofah.
Loofah are great but it’s your body, don’t be grossed out by it, you’re stuck with it for life after all.
