I have a dry face but not flaky type just my skin get kind of stretchy when I wash my face . I have got no things like acne or pimples ( just get one or two like in a month ) but have white heads but they are not my first concern . I have a tanned face and hands that is why I am thinking of getting skincare products as mentioned below . Tell me do you think I should start this ( I'm 20 male , im also going to gym for the darkening around mouth coz I know it's from insulin resistance not from tanning )

1. Minimalist retinol ( 0.1 % )

2. Minimalist Alpha Arbutin ( 2% ig )

3. UV doux tinted sunscreen

4. Cetaphil Hyaluronic A mosturizer

Is this a good start ? Should I start retinol at such a young age ? Or am I cooked ?

So i am a smoker , and I know some guy in my college that I just sit with in the back coz I like sitting in the back ( I don't have a good friendship with him )

Like everyday hes kind of saying to different people to buy him a cigarette ( like that kind of banter where we say " aaj bhai tu ciggerate pilayega " but ye uska roj ka h ) and im like how broke you can be bro that u have to beg people for money 😭 . Like it's not something essential for your survival bro 😭. And ajj after I thought I would not give my second shift exam today , I said that I'm going home and he said that I was thinking the same coz he knew before going home i will smoke , that nga got with me to the tapri of college just to beg my money there to smoke and I like company while smoking , so I was like ok yeah (*sigh*). Like people please , don't be such a brokeass nashediiiiiiiiii
