Watching skincare youtube channels and going to a dermatologist.

My face care is a lot. I'd encourage you to find your own products and routine, but I'll list mine as an example:

Daily Mornings:

Wash face using a gentle face cleanser (usually in shower, after washing /conditioning hair)
Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
face specific moisturizer
eye creme around eyes
Mineral sunscreen (re-apply again in middle of day)

Daily before bedtime:

Wash face with gentle face cleanser
Exfoliate face with lactic acid ointment (once per week: sub stronger AHA/BHA peeling solution)
Every other day, always skipping peel days: Adapalene (retinol) gel for wrinkle reduction
Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
face specific moisturizer

Everything kinda has a purpose, so if you have questions please ask.
