Fix Your Skin for $20! | Ep. 17
In this episode, Ted and Patrick explore how cultural ideas about masculinity prevent many men from taking care of their skin, causing them to avoid basic skincare—often at the expense of their own comfort. They explain why this mindset needs to change, how to identify your skin type, and how to create a simple, affordable skincare routine for under $20. No fluff, no complicated 10-step processes—just clear skin and common sense. Enjoy!
