i think ill look for a moisturiser. also it seems i need more vitamin c so ill look into that as well.

thanks for the posts

Malice,

Can you link some products you feel belong in the following:

Need to have:


Good to have:


I understand you constsntly say that it depends entirely on each person and their skin but a rough suggestion would be nice. I already spend too much time betwren fitness/style i dont want to add skin in there too so just copping ao basics is good for me. I currently have 3 products(wash, moisturuzer, eye cream) recommended in an old henry post and they worked well enough but are all almost out so am going to buy some more soon.

Would recommend exfoliating 3-4x a week too

I went down the skincareaddiction rabbit hole a while back. As mentioned YMMV obv depending on your specific skin type/needs, but this is what I came up with...

AM:
1. Wash - Cerave foaming cleanser
2. Tone/exfoliate - Paula's Choice BHA liquid
2a. can rotate with PC Vitamin C serum on alternating days if you want
3. Sunscreen - Blue Lizard Face

PM:
1. Wash - same as AM
2. Moisturize - Cerave Facial Lotion PM

You can make it a lot more complicated if you want, or drop dime on the fancy brands if it makes you feel good, but I don't really see any need to. This covers most of your bases in terms of the ingredients that have shown proven benefits (BHA, VitC+E, niacinimide, and sunscreen ldo).

Yea, stuff is complicated for sure, but it really does depend on your skin type, or if you happen to have really tolerant skin that never reacts or breaks out to certain things, then you have it really easy.

In general, I'd say in order of importance and long term effect, daily suncreen/moisturizer > exfoliant > vit c/retinoids/serums/etc. If you just wash/moisturize/spf every day, I think you've optimized about 90% of what you can for your skin, and you'll be way ahead of the general pop. The exception is if you want to try and get retin-a from your derm (you can usually get it by complaining about ingrowns). It's great for anti-aging, but comes with a lot of upkeep. You need daily heavy moisturizing/spf to use it often, as it makes your skin very photosensitive and you tend to peel a little while using it.

I use the same face wash/exfoliator as n00b actually. The cerave foaming is the best facewash I've used. It's really gentle, and a bottle goes a long way. There is really no point in overpaying for the fancy facewashes with exfoliants or whatever other expensive active ingredients they may have, because those ingredients never get absorbed by your skin since you're just washing it off. They are just a gimmick, like most skin products.

I use the BHA roughly 2-3x/week, and definitely any time after shaving and before applying balm. The PC BHA is personally my most important skin item, as it really helps with ingrowns (my beard hair tends to grow out more curved rather than straight) and smaller pimples and what not. It's best for more oily/acne/ingrown prone people. If you are more on the dry/no acne or ingrowns, then AHA is better. If you have tolerant skin, you can rotate both.

After my exfoliant sits for ~10 mins, I use hado labos hyaluronic acid + sebamed clear face gel moisturizer. I have pretty sensitive skin, but no acne and the occasional ingrown, and I find these 2 combined provides plenty of moisture with very minimal ingredients. They are water based products as well rather than oil like your standard moisturizers. Again, if your skin is more tolerant, you don't need to limit yourself to water/gel based. The cerave PM is a great option if that's the case, for both morning and night.

Sunscreen is kind of tricky as well, again with more sensitive skin, physical sunscreens are your best bet. I use the Paula's Choice super light spf 30, which is physical, no chemicals, and has a little tint in it as well. I also use the biore aqua watery essence, which is chemical, from time to time. It is a lot lighter and gel-like, and much cheaper than the PC one.

Tanning GOAT. lol sunscreen.

Good recommendations otherwise.

I have some AE shoes I bought about 2.5 years ago and never wear. If anybody interested let me know.

I'm not interested, but size, style, color, condition, etc might be a little useful.

Lol, if I didn't already have those I'd prob take you up on them.

Can I ask why you're looking to get rid of them? They're definitely one of my favorite pairs of shoes I have, I'd recommend them to anyone.

i started exfoliating/moisturizing which have had good results, also bought benzoyl peroxide (strong anti spot/acne treatment for those not aware) and its made my face pretty red so im going to slow down on using that altho it has been effective spot wise

question is, my face has cleared up a lot but recommendations to get the last few "red bumps" clear, they aren't spots yet

Selling because I honestly never wear them. They're really nice, too nice for me. I don't feel like wearing them in social settings and we just switched to blue jeans policy 100% of the time at work. I think I've worn them less than 5 times in 2.5 years.

The menswear dude I posted a while back who made winter fits is back with springtime menswear. Obviously all of this **** is super expensive, but some dope fits:

Holy **** this sweater blazer is so ****ing dope:

ugh, found it here: https://www.myclassico.com/men/Fashi...L-PETTER-23553

may cop. only like 350 or so US it seems

... Maybe I should consider robbing banks..
That sweater blazer does indeed look awesome

Any recommendations on linen button-downs? I'm a 48' chest, but XLs seem to be super-tight on me at the stomach, but 2XLs tend to fit like oversized jerseys.

FYI Epaulet is offloading some stuff from the Brooklyn store before it closes.

Eh why not, kind of doubt they will fit my thighs but for 25+7 shipping for some nice chinos its worth the risk

Probably won't ever wear a jean jacket but got it just in case. I think once you click through the chinos might be 55 not 25 fyi. I own two pairs though and if they fit you they are great.

Nah it was 25 for size 34 and 55 for size 36. I was going to do 36 and just get the waist taken in but for 30 extra i figured nah

Yeah didnt understand why 34 was so much cheaper, 34 is the standard male size usually.

Picked up the two 36 and another navy one, wanted to try Epaulet for a while.

A couple button downs, belts, and other random items are up for sale now.

Custer,

Mike (epaulet's owner) said that was an error on their end but they honored it, nice grab.

I got the brown scotchgrain and navy casual belts. Already have the brown and black ones which are great.

Its nice until they canceled my order due to stock.

What brands of jeans does everyone like?

Does anyone have experience buying selvedge denim? I've been looking into brands like Baldwin, 3sixteen, 3x1, Gustin, RRL, etc.

Any experience buying jeans online without trying them on? Specific measurements are usually given, so I can compare them with jeans I already have that fit well. I'm even considering picking up slightly used pairs on Ebay, to avoid problems with initial stiffness, indigo dye transfer, etc.
