I was planning on making a few appointments to dermatologists in 2022 for anti-aging treatments. My skin still looks good/clear/young (I have gotten compliments from women for it), but I just wanted that extra edge against aging.
Men have access to (from least to most drastic):
-Basic hygiene/cleanser products. Moisturizers, skin cleansers, acne washes. Special soaps like African black soap, shea butter soap, etc.
-Basic masks and peels. I use Aztec Secret Healing Clay, and that stuff really works for me.
-Higher-grade cleansing and moisturizing products. Retinols, lactic acid products, jojoba oil, etc.
-Apparently you could get certain medical grade peels and treatments over the counter. I have heard of Jessner and TCA peels over the counter, which is what some professionals use. I don't know much about this, though.
Do men without special skin conditions even need dermatologists? Or is over the counter stuff good enough? I am not interested in things like fillers and botox.
I am leaning towards just skipping the pros and experimenting with things alone. Going to a dermatologist seems like a waste of money.
