I chose good genetics.

My Dad is fairly wrinkle free at almost 70. He hasn't moisturised in his life, nor is he a smoker or frequent drinker.
Is he doing a life stretch?

I had a fascial in December (don't laugh, it was a Birthday gift from my sister)

Beautician told me the best thing is grapeseed oil, so I bought a litre of the brand she recommened from eBay for £6. It's called Naissance 210 Grapeseed if anyone is interested. Use sparingly. Should last a couple of years!

Other thing is sunscreen - even in Winter.

And the usual healthy diet, limiting alcohol, no smoking etc
You got a facial from your sister? Sorry I’ll stop there...

In all seriousness I’ve used oils on and off in the past and they are really good only a couple of drops though...

What might be worth while is spending some time finding out what kind of skin type you have. One-size-fits-all moisturisers aren't, necessarily, going to be the best solution for your skincare needs.

If you have wrinkles that you want to reduce the appearance of then you may need to go down a treatment route that boosts collagen around your eye area and firms up your skin. Using a firming eye-cream on a daily basis with SPF should be used in conjunction with this to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the long-term.

Skincare is a bit of a rabbit hole. But I think having a decent cleanser, a decent light-weight daily moisturiser and eye-cream with SPF will go a long way.

I'm convinced if you were looking for a good investment at the moment you wouldn't go far wrong if you invested in something with male cosmetics in the title.

Women have been told they're ugly, old and wrinkly for long enough that the markets saturated, now it's the guys turn to pay £10/g for various combinations water/oil/wax with or without pigment.

Someone is going to make a killing.

Or have a facelift.
May as well just give up on life instead.
I was about to write similar but deleted it.

I imagine when you're 80 you don't lie in bed and think fk I'm glad I moisturised when i was in my 40's or avoided that beer i really fancied in case I woke up the next day with dry eyes.

st name but have a look at man polish on amazon. Not the tinted stuff.

I met the owners at a market before Christmas and got some. It’s is cheap and knocks the st out of the expensive stuff I’ve bought over the years.

I know look amazing after a month of use including the abuse of the Christmas period and a failed dry January. It’s hiding some serious sins
is it matt or shiny? looks good but hate shiny stuff
Easily managed with an air whipped or powdered foundation.

Whatever your sexuality, male vanity appears to be booming. If it's not eye cream, it's taking steroids and trying to regain your youth.

All the while, most people are overweight, incapable and unhealthy/unhappy.

Stick to the example set by Robert Redford.

Continue in the delusion that you are equally handsome.

FYI most people grow out of using the word 'gay' as a derogatory term during secondary school, I would suggest you do the same.

By the way It was a joke, the only thing I put on my face is cold water. However I'm in the thread because I have theorized that some kind of daily SPF might be worthwhile.

Save yourself even more money by avoiding cosmetic nonsense entirely.
Keep yourself well hydrated - it'll help a lot more than just your skin - and learn to love the bloke in the mirror.
Eat healthily, don't smoke, don't drink heavily, get plenty of sleep, exercise, get outdoors, push yourself, feel good.

What they said.
