I'm in my late twenties and have never had a consistent skincare routine, but after noticing more dryness and occasional breakouts, I think it's time to start. The problem is I'm completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of products and steps I see recommended online, from toners to serums to different types of moisturizers. For other guys who have built a simple but effective mens skincare routine, what are the absolute essential products and steps you'd recommend for someone just starting out? How do you determine your skin type, and are there any specific ingredients I should look for or avoid to address basic concerns like hydration and preventing signs of aging without making my skin feel greasy?
