Lots of moisturizer, your moisture barrier is probably damaged. You can use Aquaphor as a moisturizer before going to bed or use it over your moisturizer.

If you care about your skin don't use anabolic steroids, don't drink or smoke, don't "party" with rec drugs every weekend. Do not eat too many vegetables, a little is ok but they do inhibit mineral absorption. Don't eat grains at all, no bread no pasta. Bottled water should be your primary drink. It's pointless to pick out one or two nutrients in which people are commonly deficient because honestly everyone is deficient in almost everything. The worst defiencies in the case of skin are complete amino acids, vitamin A and zinc. Vit A and zinc being relevant since they mediate cell division which is vital for many processes like skin repair and other things ( like immune function).

Collagen has quite a few precursors but the most critical are glycine and hydroxyproline, which can be obtained from animal connective tissues but also metabolised from the amino acid proline with vitamin C. Glucose competes with vitamin C at the receptor level, as such high carb diets will increase the amount of vitamin C required for this metabolism (this is why vitamin C requirements are much higher for sailors eating biscuits than for inuits eating zero carbs). So the ideal strategy is to eat an appropriate amount of animal tissue for its hydroxyproline while keeping carbs down. Note muscle meat contains very little hydroxyproline, your best bet is eating something like minced red meat or any sinewy meat.

Vitamin A is only found in certain animal foods like fish, dairy, eggs and liver, with the common theme being that higher source quality = higher vitamin A. Beta carotene is not vitamin A and metabolises to vitamin A at an absurdly poor rate. Zinc is one mineral most strongly affected by anti-nutrients which can inhibit it's absorption completely (calcium being another one). Just one tortilla wrap is enough to completely nullify the zinc content of its fillings. The modern hysteria about zinc supplementation is really a lack of awareness about anti-nutrients. You can supplement all the zinc you want but if it is all inhibited it is useless.

Glycine and proline are found in about twice the amount per gram of protein from animal sources than plants, and that before factoring in bioavailability, so in reality it is probably much higher. The best sources being meat and dairy. I would avoid dairy unless you have access to high quality raw sources (hard to find outside Europe or Asia).

Regarding sun, ideally we should expose the skin to sunlight frequently enough that it can tolerate exposure without burning but not so frequently that damage is accumulated before it has a chance to repair. The most dangerous thing you can do for your skin is to be a hermit all year and then go outside for 15 mins in summer and turn red. The body is repairing damage to skin all the time, it is completely normal, what is unhealthy is inhibiting these repair processes via drugs and malnutrition. Make sure you are getting sun exposure regularly in tolerable doses throughout the year, avoid extreme behaviour like either hermit UV avoidance, or hardcore sunbathing sessions.

For dry skin use: hyaluronic acid, panthenol, ceramides, peptides, cholesterol based moisturizer. Any of these don't usually cause break-outs.

I am eating like that for 2 years and my skin only got worse and worse. I was like I NEED MORE LIVER, MORE EGGS, MORE RAW BUTTER and my skin is an absolute mess. Before, when I ate a lot of junk it was good. Fuck my life.

Hey bro awesome post thanks for explaining in detail.

What about cooked oats for example are they bad Because they are grains or are they fine since they are not like bread and stuff especially cooked?

And if you have lactose intolerance is lactose free milk fine?

Sun is goated for less than 15 minutes. Early dawn right before the actual sunrise gives all the vitamin d you need.

Spf 50 p+++ for all other times under the sun
Eat more gelatinous cuts of meat like bone marrow etc for glycine or Great Lakes collagen supplement is goated too
Make sure you’re getting enough zinc bc water and such is full copper which competes with zinc absorption
Vitamin a from retin-a is MORE than enough. Make sure to not do a high vitamin a diet while also rubbing shit ton of retin a
Also skinmaxx and whitening max

I'll do this

Also it seems sunmaxxing after dawn is good too.

hopefully i can moderately tan once i lighten enough.

Good post I had the exact same thinking in mind although than i was probably going to overdo it with the vitamin a, eating hella organ meats like liver combined with retin a.

How long does it take to fix a collagen issue with lots og moisturizer and hyaluronic acid for a teen? Cus my collagen is shit for being a teen but I recently started treating it
 
Apart from diet etc, some actionable treatments you can do are use tretinoin and microneedle

 
Bepanthen Antiseptic Cream
