People usually think I'm my age or a bit older, I guess it's mostly due to me having a full beard.

I used to have acne in my teen years and even after that had passed, I was never happy with the way my skin looked. It was always very oily and I would have outbreaks of pimples pretty regularly. A couple of months ago I threw away all those disgusting chemical face washes and face cremes and replaced them with a self made face wash (a  50/50 mix of chickpea flour and fullers earth from india). The face wash is amazing, you just take some powder into your palms and put some water on top until it is a bit slimey. Then you use it as a peel/wash on your face and wash it off. For the maximum effect, let it dry on your face and then wash it off. Your skin will be red, so apply some rosewater to make it relax and then apply some Burt's bees (98 percent natural) face cream. my skin looks better than ever now and I rarely ever get any pimples. Also no alcohol, no smoking, lots of sleep will do wonders.
Must be a purple moon, feel like one of those nights...

I usually make sure I have things in order at home before I go slapping products on my skin. I'm always changing out pillowcases, sheets, towels, rags etc...so many things sitting around your house you put on your face daily tend to collect bacteria.

Don't have lines under my eyes but isn't Curology mainly for acne related problems? I don't see how it would benefit you.

People always thought I was super young til I grew my beard out.

Those are some good tips, another is to sleep on your back instead of on your sides or your stomach.  When you have your face pushed up against a pillow you are creating more lines.
As far as Curology goes they use tretinoin in their formulas which is the best anti aging ingredient you can get.  It just so happens to also work for acne.

Only things proven to reverse ageing is sunscreen and retinol products.
Everything else is hit and miss.

I'm not fussy about what lotion I use as long as it's not greasy.
On weekends I tend not to use any product on my face (after washing it) just to give my skin a couple days to breathe.
