Anyone have a daily routine for facial care? Been wanting to do this for a while but i'm uncertain on what exactly to get and what brands are the most effective / cost efficient. My face acne is minimal, and my face is kind of oily. Also interested in hair shampoos, like what shampoos are best and what conditioners I should use and such.
Go to an aesthetician.
That's what my mom is, she has fixed so many high school boys with pizza face. They came to her looking like SHIT, and within two months you couldn't tell they ever had a problem. They'll do treatments on you and they'll set you up with a home regime to do yourself.

I only wash my face every 3-4 days but rinse well with water every day in the shower. I don't have oily gross skin either - a good complexion and no wrinkles for an old guy.
Too many soaps and chemicals strip skin's natural oils and there's some overcompensation that happens every day. Bacteria love them some oil - get rid of the breeding ground for bacteria, get rid of the acne.

Honestly the best thing I ever did for my skin was leave it the fuck alone.
Used to have bad acne and used all these different face washes and scrubs then gradually over time I stopped bothering with them and my skin started getting better. Now I literally do nothing apart from rinse with water and my face has never been better. And when I try to introduce face products it fucks up again.
If you have acne then simply cut out dairy and if you want take zinc

I used to have fairly oily skin - did some research and a fairly widely recommended combo is:
Eucerin gentle hydrating cleanser
Stridex single-step acne control (even if you just have oily skin)
Cetaphil moisturizer
All super cheap and last ages.

Koreans have the best skin care routines.
1. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, hydrate and look into getting a gelatin supplement. Follow the sticky advice regarding fish oil and dietary supplements.
2. Hydrating face masks are your FRIEND. Use 2-3 times a week.
3. Avoid exfoliants with micro beads. They don't do anything except rip up your skin and clog drains.
4. Get a microderm skin roller. So cheap, so effective. Put your favourite moisturizer on and use the skin roller. This works great if you have acne under your skin, and for scars.
5. If you shave regularly, you shouldn't need to exfoliants as a separate step.
6. Shave regularly. Women HATE neckbeads.
7. Cetaphil is the best face wash. Galaxalll Base is the best moisturizer. Period. And so cheap.
8. Don't use astringent toners.
9. Toners don't really do much unless you have crappy water coming from your taps. Toners correct the pH balance of the skin, and get it primed for moisturizing.
10. Don't take steroids. Fucks up your skin.
There are lots of other things you can do, but it's case by case at that point.
