What Skincare do y'all use?

@kyrre why does most peater use olive oil soap for both body and face? and doesnt coconut oil break u out?

I just ordered some tallow based skin-care, honestly doubt it's too good but figured it'd be nice to try it. Remember some podcast with Peat where he talked about pufa in cosmetics and people being oblivious to using skincare with pufa's. Saturée also seem to have some insanely peaty ingredients in their stuff. Extremely expensive though but if you can afford it it's probably top tier.
Zinc based sun screen exists but it kinda blows, ngl. Sticks everywhere and gives you a pale complexion, might be worth checking out some korean brands. They're usually very good when it comes to skin-care and sun screen.
Try hyaluronic acid and retinoids aswell. Not sure about the vitamin A thing, but it's supposedly proven to work when it comes to helping the skin create collagen. Niacinamide is pretty dope aswell.

You should avoid any ingredient you wouldn't eat

@CO3 people who say this usually have horrible skin though. Saladino etc. But as a General rule, very good one.

baking soda for washing hands and body, egg yolk for shampoo, coconut oil for brushing teeth and hair

@Papipipoom beef tallow is the most nourishing and moisturising product I’ve used. I love the brand Tuttofare, it’s grass fed and finished which means high vitamin e and naturally high in vitamin A. I also use coconut oil on my body, not the face as it causes break outs! And fluoride free toothpaste with bicarbonate soda.

Sarurée is good if you have the cash

I looked into making a new sunscreen product and found (as far as I can tell) the FDA forces sunscreens to be one of the current harmful chemical ones, or one of the two approved physical blockers - zinc or titanium. Literally no other options are allowed in the US if it's marketed as a sunscreen, so there's no point searching as a consumer.
Here is the list if you're interested: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/omuf/OTCMonograph_M020-SunscreenDrugProductsforOTCHumanUse09242021.pdf
There's a few studies on using plant ingredients like quercetin as sunscreen. Quercetin sounds like it might really work - with the downside of being bright yellow. I don't know if that yellow would be invisible once it absorbed? I'll have to try it.
From what I've read, the "just use olive oil it has natural SPF!" stuff is a meme. It's like SPF 2 in reality.
The obvious answer is to just cover up with clothes once you've had enough sun during tanning hours (11am-5pm DST), but I do wish there was a safe, sheer sunscreen.

I use as little as possible. I don't wash my face, only redistribute the oils on my face (think I saw @Amazoniac bring it up on the RPF). When I shower I put some salt in a bottle to wash my hair. Regular soap under armpits and genitals. If my face is dry out the shower I use a very small amount of coconut oil. A few drops of bottled lemon or lime juice under armpits as deodorant.

I still think that longterm skincare does have either no or even negative effects on the health of your skin. Your skin is just a reflection of your general health, improve your health and your skin improves as well. I use only water, nothing else and never had any need to use anything else either.
