Won’t lie. I didn’t take serious care of my skin or body for most of my life. I have a darker complexion (Cambodian), so I would only use sunscreen when I was out in the midday sun for a really long time, but not much besides that and facewash in the shower before going to bed.

Never bothered with vitamin c, retinol, moisturizer, wearing sunglasses, car window ceramic tint, proper sleep, hydration, vitamins, supplements. Instead, weekly booze, sleeping on my face / side, lots of sugar, and walking in midday sun without a hat.

Now that I’m using online dating (post-divorce) and actually looking at my face more critically (profile pics, getting ready for dates, etc.), I’ve been wondering what steps I should take at this stage in life that might still have a beneficial impact on my face / skin appearance in terms of anti-aging and looking more healthy.

I recently sold my business, so I do have more disposable income to work with (I met someone recently who swears by a procedure called ultherapy). I’d prefer less invasive measures because I fear the side effects. But maybe that’s an overreaction based on insufficient knowledge of current practices. Any general suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
