my advice, personally? if you're curious, get a Botox injection. it is temporary, exceedingly well-studied, and generally does not interact with any other precription medicine. If you don't like it, it will wear off, just don't get it again and you're gold.

however, do NOT get fillers done, because from what research has been coming out over the past few years, the general consensus is that fillers do not break down in the body, and merely migrate when the dermis loses tensity. you will almost certainly need to get them surgically removed, and that shit isn't as easy as just injecting it back out. Though, I understand that recent studies have opened up a method of using some new kind of radio wave mapping to determine where all the filler went so that they can actually suck it back out piece by piece.

Realistically, I should just do some type of facial skincare routine. I just wash my face and use face cream occasionally but I think I’ll google men’s skincare or something. I imagine it’s good for you but I’m not putting in the effort of a Botox or similar. I have other stuff I should probably prioritize first like trying to go vegetarian.

I answered higher up, but sunscreen (I use mineral sunblock but the Korean chemical sunscreens are really good too) in the morning, and Retin-A (prescription 0.1%) at night are for sure the two best things you can do to keep your skin in good shape. Consistency really pays off. Even if you sometimes forget the sunscreen - putting it on day after day with a few misses is better than using it only when you think you need it.

Men's face skin is slightly thicker than women's but otherwise the same, and superficially the same.
