Why the frick are all of you using one thing to strip away the natural protection, and then replacing it with unnatural shite?
You're just making your skin worse at taking care of itself.
It falls somewhere in the middle. A lot of the products mentioned in this thread so far are very gentle/mild cleansers, much milder than shampoo. And moisturizers, hyaluronic acid, etc. are extremely good for your skin.
But you're not wrong that a lot of people fall into the trap of buying harsh products and ruining their moisture barrier, which is very hard to build back up.

Those are fantastic tips
But I think you just googled them. No way a 60 year old man is that in touch with skincare
Way over 60 Paige ... and I know right, it's weird. Drives my wife nuts sometimes.
It's a family thing my mother harped on all of us kids growing up in the 50s and 60s. She made homemade creams, soaps and lotions on the farm and sold them in the gift shop at our family restaurant. We always used her homemade soaps and lotions and such growing up. She was big on big brim hats and avoiding the direct sun on your face long before it was a thing. I dunno, it's just the way we were raised. At reunions and things the family is kinda known for it and everyone thinks it is in our genes and DNA but it's more about what Momma instilled in us about our skin being our biggest organ and also hydrating ... keeping the kidneys flushed, don't smoke, don't overdo the alcohol (which I've not always adhered to), don't overdo the sun worship, etc.
When we used to dry fruit and make venison jerkey she'd always say, "see, this is your skin without water and without moisturizing and these are your organs without water," .... scared the crap outta us.

Tell me more about keeping the kidneys flushed oh sage.

Lots of water. Mix a little lemon juice with a bottle every now and then.
I drink eight 16oz bottles a day. Stack them in the fridge the night before. Refill every night. Helps cut back on your chance for kidney stones too but you have to watch your sodium levels because your sodium levels could drop if, like me, you're not an big salt eater.
I compensate by using salt on my apple each day and I've been taking vitamins for at least forty years but in earnest since I read Earl Mindel's vitamin bible a few decades ago.
15 minutes a day in the sun is all you need for your D3 production but I still take a supplement since, even in the summer I wear wide brim hats and SPF long sleeve shirts.
I have a good friend who is a nephrologist who also tells me the water is good for your kidneys.

Skin issues are like 90% genetic, and some of the symptoms can be combatted with topical products. So for some people, yes it is necessary. For me? Eh, probably not. Sounds like it isn't for you either.
But oh man, visit some of the skincare forums on the internet. There's some scary skin out there. Some people are bad off enough that they need prescriptions, but I see before/afters all the time from people just finding a good routine.

Are skin issues so common in other species? Honest question.

Might be bad for a while until the body adjusts, but there's just no way I can believe that so many people need to be doing all this crap.

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand 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 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 aftershave 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.
I was straight as an arrow and after reading this thread all I wanna do is run around and suck dick. Thanks OT
ETA: I have a random urge to sous vide something also

Well, respectfully, you are very wrong. I’m super into this stuff. You said you won’t look into it, but if you did, you’d see how wrong you are.
I assure you people with serious skin conditions are not just “doing too much”. If it were that easy, I’m sure the world of dermatology would be thrilled
I give it to you that some folks who have little to no issues can make it worse with going overboard with harsh products. But the entire skincare industry is not just a sham. Not to count that dermatologists are medical physicians.
