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

My knee-jerk reaction is “Wow, that’s a lot of work. Where does this person find the time??” But then I realize that I now work from home without the hour-long morning routine (plus commute) and could easily make the time if I’d just limit my pre-standup content-binge.
Going to give a similar self-care routine a try! Thanks for sharing this.

The previous comment is an internet meme that originated from the film American Psycho. Nonetheless you made a good point, however I think that most people don't need an extensive skincare routine like that :)

Is that from American Psycho?
