At the age of 21, i was told to start taking care of my skin complexion. This happened when i went for my customary facial to fix my after-each-end-of-semester-exam acne. i started paying more attention towards my skin after watching the Old Age Series by the Try Guys, especially when Keith said "i want to see what happens to my skin if my wife didn't force me to do a skin care routine." and the results were shocking. Before this, i wasn't aware about the importance of taking care of your skin. i had absolutely no idea what consisted in a skin care routine and why are there so many products involved? what does each product do to your face? mostly i was just baffled by the fact that they were so many. so from today, i'm writing myself a 'Skincare for dummies' guide to help my journey in achieving beautiful young skin.
