Is anyone else here doing much to combat aging as many of us creep towards and enter middle age?

I've recently started a fairly strict anti-aging regimen (serums, moisturizers, vitamin C, retinol treatments for my face and neck, and I definitely see a difference so far.

I am kind of mirroring what Bryan Johnson is doing in regards to sleep and skincare (including a red light mask that my niece is mailing me to try out).

I use Ester Lauder and while it’s pricey, it’s very effective.

When ppl find out I’m 50 they can’t believe it. I’m often guessed to be in my mid-late 30’s and occasionally in my early 40’s.

These are the products that I use:

Beef tallow on my skin. That's about it.

My sister (no pics) loads us all up with skin care products since she's worked for a few different companies. Clinique for Men is probably the cheapest that most people would get behind. If you're looking to cosmetically combat aging, this would be the way to go, along with getting 8+ hours of sleep every night. I've read about taking collagen powder daily and how it helps with skin. Other foods include avocado, fatty fish, and a high veggie diet.

Take cold showers vs. hot showers. Hard to do regularly. I've heard of people getting into the habit of doing a cold shower to somewhat shock their bodies in the morning and help get a boost from that.

Staying out of the sun will help immensely. Even a sauna has its benefits.

I started using nilotica shea butter. Absorbs on skin really well.

The absolute biggest thing is daily SPF in your moisturizer. Cumulative sun exposure is hell on your skin. Ideally use one with mineral sunscreen. It's pricier than chemical but I don't like the ingredients in chemical. I use one that's tinted so I don't get that white cast on my face.

Besides that, washing your face in the evenings and changing your pillowcase regularly will be the next steps. From there you can get into the weeds with hyaluronic acid, retinol a few times a week, etc. Start with the basics though.

1. Sunscreen
2. Tretinoin cream at night (need a prescription)
3. Vitamin C serum in morning (look for L-ascorbic acid)

Those 3 have the best evidence for benefits and would be the most cost effective.

I also use a gentle face wash and moisturize

I have a visible six pack. My wife doesn’t care what my face looks like.

I use a 15spf moisturizer every morning after I shower. Lots of water I'm sure helps too. I don't pay attention to my neck though. Not sure how that area will go bad.

Anyone have anything good for the brow wrinkle(s)?

I use my wife’s tretinoin every now and then… it really is amazing how well it works. I just forget to do it more often
