Thanks man, I’m following your tips and others here for skincare now. I never touched a moisturizer before, I just showered everyday. What do you think went down most?

As far as skin care goes. This thread on collagen is legit as fuck.

Collagen maxing guide

I did not try to find any new research chemical just analyse the existing methods and see their effectiveness: Dermarolling: 400% increase Skin becomes thicker with greater than 400 % increase in collagen deposition and significantly more elastin . Collagen fibre bundles qualitatively...

I started most of these things. And I am extremely happy after about 1 week now on the red light therapy. I bought a red light panal on aliexpress for like 50 bucks, and it looks promising.

What went down most:
* the collagen reaper under your eyes, causing sagginess and wrinkles under the eyes. (collagen maxxing guide from above might help with reversal of this a bit)
* your eyebrows, thinning significantly. (can easily be fixed with using diluted peppermint oil (like https://www.walmart.com/ip/Okay-Peppermint-Oil-For-Hair-Skin-2-Oz/360202017 ) Don't let it touch the eyes! It burns!. Peppemrmint oili will make the current hairs grow faster and longer, thus give more pressence which would help a bit I think for you to look a bit younger.
* It could be lighting? But your skin tone seems lighter, maybe to light now. This has nothing/little to do with age. One can imporve skintone by beta-carotenemaxxing; which can be done by eating alot of vegetable and fruits or food supplement beta-carotene. Some also use Astaxanthin for the skin tone imporvement.

For the rest, stuff went not down really badly or much.

One last thing to add.

Us men have a much better potential to fight skin aging; then women. So some efforts, can go a long way for a man.
I mean, women like Kylie Minogue, Birkley, Aniston, Jenifer Lopez. Have great skin at 40. WHILE their skin ages after a certain age 2X or even 3X faster then us men. So, if they can pull that off, weshould also with less efforts.

A Woman's Skin Ages Faster

Men become more distinguished as they age and women, well, we just keep getting older. And if this isn't bad enough, a new study shows that the female skin actually starts to age faster than the hides of men.

Oh, to add 1 final thing.

I like that curtain hairstyle, in your 3rd pic from young, the one with the blue shirt.

Why you don't have that hairstyle anymore.
To me it feel like curtains, are really the best hair style for you. It creates the most volume, and overall fits your face (shape) best imo.
I thought about, and looked some more. Why I am so in favour of curtains hairstyle for you.
I figured it out.
1. your upper head/forehead retract a bit. For such people you need volume in the fornt, then it's not ideal to comb hair backwards fully.
2. You have a bit of a high hairline, and then curtains are usually also a nice way to semi mitigate that minor imperfection of higher hairline.

You can watch the youtube video of this woman. It's for women. But imo it also applies to men. And she in this video discribes perfectly what hairtyle needs to do for different face shapes. Such type of videos doesn't exist for men, so unfortunatley I have to refer to advse for females video. But the basic concpet is universal what she says.

Thank you for your helpful replies. It’s a good thing you learned this younger than me.

For being a manlet (5’6) I was class president highly respected, and considered handsome. My biggest cope is that I was gl when younger, and have those years to look back on because I’m here alone 20 years later. Back then standards were also much lower

Hopefully this is a larp otherwise idk what to say about you other than this is unironically pretty pathetic, if I'm still posting here by my mid 20s nevermind my 40s then I'd jump off a bridge

I’d hope you’re not here for long either.
No, I joined because I want to try again in the dating scene and my target is 18- 30 year olds.
I always thought it was just my height holding me back, before here no one had ever pointed out facial flaws, neither had I noticed. That’s all really

Looksmaxxing, is for all ages almost. Well maybe untill 60 for men.

Or are we going to say to these examples, to stop learning about optimising or keeping their looks?
because they past the age of 30 or 40??

41 years old in this pic

46 at year 2000

43 year old

Actually Looksmaxxing at older age. Gives you more 'hallo effect' I seem to notice in daily normal life, then at younger age. Because it's more rare.
Having good and or youthfull-ish looks past 40. People gice you validation for that, especially among same aged peers
Your suggestion. For men past certain age, to not learn, worry and maxx about looks anymore is flaud, imo.
Most men actually stop worrying abou looks in their 30's; and most fall of a cliff looks wise for that reason. Fat, fucked up skin, blad, etc.. The horrors.

Best looksmaxxer I know at older age. And hwom trpobably also at older age still tries to learn about keeping good looks
