For me, looks-maxxing is nothing I do on the extreme end; I simply have an easy , regular routine:

-Cleanser (gentle, daily)
-Moisturizer (barrier focused)
-SPF 30+ every day
-Lift 2x/week
-Protein ~0.7–1g/lb lean mass (beef, chicken, fish)
-Stay lean; bulk slowly
-Sleep 10–12 hours (non‑negotiable)
-$45 haircut that fits head shape
-Trim brows, manage facial hair
-No alcohol, limited vaping
-Stress control (cortisol kills looks)


DISCLAIMER

Your life should not revolve around looksmaxxing. It should be a short term phase and you forget about it.
Once the work is done, you move on. Your focus should be your life, your goals, and your direction, not endlessly optimizing how you look.

If you do this you might have a chance at living a better life then any 99% of the world.

So what's your looks routine?

7-8 hours of sleep.
Clean (ish) diet
Gym 5-6 times per week.
Sex with wife at least 5 times per week (at least one screaming Tantric session)
Shower includes full body scrub, sensitive shower gel, aplicen double effect shampoo.
Moisturising face wash (non alcoholic)
Full body Moisturising
Full body shave (no hair from the eyebrows down)
Brush, and flossing teeth minimum twice per day.

I literally never had a bad haircut in my life, regardless of price. Worst one was when a friend of my mother offered to do it.

Stop lying bro.
This is you when you get a haircut:

The youthful elixir that is Korean snail juice, which includes their shit, piss and spunk secretions. The GF likes to call it snail cum (I prefer wank juice but whatever). Has it worked? Has it fuck.

"Gnummareddi" are a traditional specialty from the southern Italian region of Puglia, they are small rolls made from lamb or goat offal, typically including liver, lung, and sometimes other organs. The filling is wrapped in the animal's caul fat (a thin fatty membrane surrounding the internal organs) or, more traditionally, with intestines to hold everything together.
The rolls are then seasoned simply with salt, pepper, parsley, and sometimes garlic, before being grilled over charcoal or wood embers until the outside becomes crisp and the inside stays tender and juicy.

It's basically cholesterol-maxxing, (hence why Southern Italians mostly look like Super Mario) but...G'damn brother if they don't taste heavenly, very umami flavor...

I eat them once every 2 weeks for obvious reasons

Thanks man! Gonna have to talk to my local butcher and see what my options are. Lamb and goat isn't common where I am, I can get the meat wholesale but I'm skeptical I'll be able to get any of their offal. Gotta try though!

[SomeNorseGuy]

Shower, brush teeth, hair & beard, keep nails short, clean clothes.

But most importantly - make food for the wifey, the look she gives me when I serve her homemade meals confirms that it's the only lookmaxing I need. That I make her laugh on a daily basis doesn't hurt either.

As for everyone else, fuck'em. What do I care what they think I look like.

I smash my fucking face with a small hammer every morning until the bones deform.

-Sleep 10–12 hours (non‑negotiable)

This is bad for you, that's how infants sleep, a grown adult should get approximately 7-8 hours.

Shorter than that is usually really bad for you, but longer, like 12 fucking hours, can affect energy levels and develop stuff like bad back when you get older because you lay around too much. You are also wasting a ridicules amount of time.

 

[mopspear]

I have to avoid the "fat guy with beard and glasses" look.

Just got a fresh cut.

45 bucks for a haircut is (cheap) woman territory, pal. I'm still not over paying €25 for a cut since I had to find a new barber shop. I used to pay less than €20 for almost 30 years. And if I went to Chinese barbers I could still pay around €10 for a lightning-quick, absolutely decent cut. I literally never had a bad haircut in my life, regardless of price. Worst one was when a friend of my mother offered to do it.

And about sleep, it's been years since I could sleep 6 hours continuously, let alone 8 or 10. If I stay in bed for 10+ hours I typically get up more tired than when I went to bed.

Yeah. That whole sleep thing sounds easier than it actually is for me. I get 4-6 with an occasional 8 if I am exhausted. As for barbers, years ago I had a bet with a friend to see who could find the cheapest barber. He won. It was a guy that had to be in his 80's and he still used a straight shaky razor. I do not care who you are, or how you told him you wanted it cut. When you sat in the chair you got the Smitty Special.
