Big misconception. Sunscreen also protects you from blemishes and aging from sun exposure. They make sunscreens without Zn.
People are saying my face wash routine is too much, pics inside

Realistically yes it is, unless you wanna go all out but bruh you got all these products but not using a sunscreenNo. That’s not all you need wtf
Nah, she wild for that black folks shouldn't be using Glycolic Acid, that stuff will bleach your skin, the only skincare acid you should be using is Mandelic acid for any type of pigmentation issues. Everything else will bleach your skin, that stuff is pushed heavy for YT folks and Korean beauty that want bright white skin
It's so much science behind skin care that isn't discussed that people just throw out products to use but don't know what these chemicals do and how they interact with each other, I did a MASSIVE amount of research specifically regarding black skin and most of these companies cater to a specific demographic but just make sure the products are safe for humans but not how effective they are

I started using clinique products after watching some Korean glass face tutorials
I can see a difference and my bags are starting to go away , I use Cerave eye repair for that
I'm not up on sunscreen yet but some lady I follow that's in her 50s but look 35 promotes wearing it everyday you go outside regardless of complexion. That might be my next move

If I don’t go outside then I don’t use sunscreen

Sunscreen blocks UV light which specifically your skin needs to absorb for vitamin D conversions, black people are more deficient in Vitamin D than other groups
Like I said, stuff will be catered towards yt people and not us, they still never updated the daily nutrition values for sodium on the side of food boxes, we are supposed to have 1500mg of sodium but the daily value is listed at around 2400mg, tons of "nutrition experts" fail to realize this

Only things I don’t use daily are the serum and sunscreens
Mandelic Acid is for dark skin, it does the same thing it without bleaching or burning your skin, most of these companies that sell skincare products don't even give accurate concentrations of the ingredients so you really don't know the concentration unless you read a SDS for said product, even then stuff is convoluted so you have to look up specific chemicals, a chemist would do it but average consumer isn't
Above everything though is diet and sleep and WATER INTAKE.
If you not staying hydrated and drinking enough water NONE OF THESE PRODUCTS will do anything for you, also sleep.

All I ever do in the morning is wash my face in the shower and then put on some cocoa butter or hemp seed lotion 
and then beard oil for my beard.
So basically I'll use no more than two different hair and skincare products every morning. I assume you must have some sort of acne or dry skin issue to be using nearly 7 different types of moisturizers.
