So many men want beautiful skin with great quality and high elasticity, but they focus on cope products and things that do not actually give them that effect.
Look at women. Notice how if you had their skin quality, you would likely mog hard. But instead, you suffer from a textured, rough complexion with perhaps lower-than-average elasticity.
Who is to blame? Genetics? No — your gender. Men naturally lean toward a more leathery complexion due to being men. DHT plays a major role. This is often why taking oral dutasteride can improve skin and allow you to get greater results from your skin protocols, but then you may suffer mentally because you nuked one of the cascading pathways that helps determine whether you feel like a man or like a weakened version of yourself. Neurosteroids matter. Nuking your DHT is one way to stop hair loss and improve bad skin, but the tradeoff can be slowly becoming more sensitive, mentally weaker, and feeling like you castrated your brain chemistry.
But there is a solution: topical 17α-estradiol or topical estradiol. Both are relatively weak estrogens in this context, but they can stimulate receptors in your facial skin, giving you a buffer against aging, elastin decline, and a weakened skin barrier.
This alone, especially in combination with retinoids, may move the needle more than almost anything else. You can go on Amazon and buy vaginal cream marketed toward menopausal women. Apply it nightly. The goal is zero meaningful systemic effects while dramatically improving hydration, skin quality, and glow. Very pretty-boy effect.
Focus on topical DHT blockers, ideally liposomal formulas, to minimize systemic effects. Do not nuke your internal hormones. Adapt instead and focus on more targeted solutions. You can have the best of both worlds.
Get estradiol. Maximize estrogen topically, in a relatively weak and localized context.
Fix your skin. Have people wonder how you are 30 but do not look a day over 20. You can also apply this on your scalp if you are feeling experimental and try to block DHT that way too.
This is the method. Do not miss it, and do not discredit it. It should not raise your E2 in any meaningful way. It is concentrated in the dermis. It is safe.
I'm 30 year old man with 600ng/dl dht levels. I apply test cream on my scrotal area and have more dht than most men could ever dream of. Yet I don't lose my hair and I don't have acne and I don't look anything of my age bracket.
I focus on purely topical anti androgens and other solutions that completely negate any side effects because I'm high IQ. You can be too. Don't fall for oral dht blockers. You can go a step above.
