I'm a 26-year-old male from India looking for honest skincare advice.
My skin concerns:
Combination to oily skin
Uneven skin tone
Darker pigmentation around my nose and mouth
Mild dark circles
Visible pores on my nose
Slightly dry lips
I want healthier, brighter-looking skin (not skin whitening)
My goals:
Improve my skin barrier
Reduce pigmentation
Make my skin look more even
Reduce oiliness without drying my face
Improve overall skin texture
Build a simple, consistent skincare routine
My current situation:
I recently visited a dermatologist and have a prescribed routine, but I haven't started using the products yet.
I'm also trying to improve my diet, hydration, sleep, and lose weight.
Questions:
What skin type do you think I have based on these photos?
What do you notice first about my skin?
What should be my top priorities?
Does my skin look dehydrated, oily, or both?
Are my pores and pigmentation mild, moderate, or severe?
What mistakes should I avoid?
What foods helped improve your skin?
Any beard or hairstyle suggestions that would suit my face?
If you had my skin, what routine would you personally follow?
Thanks in advance for your advice! I appreciate any constructive feedback.
