I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
- june_twenty 3y agoThis routine seems pretty extreme.. I see a parallel to the level of meticulousness some of us have when configuring our development environments. I prefer to start my morning with a nice cup of coffee, a quick browse onStack Overflow, then launching into a meticulous code review. But remember, no alcohol in your commits because it dries your code out and makes it look older!
- mk_world 3y agoTechbro8615's comment is a reference/verbatim transcript to the opening bit of American Psycho (the movie): A psychotic yuppie internalizes self-care marketing to such an extent that their life turns into an infomercial. The satire is as biting now as in the 1990s, hence the cult status of the movie/book. Edit: this reference is as obligatory here on this topic as an XKCD reference for other topics.
