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?

 

[Meicyn]

I exercise daily. Minimize eating processed food. Bathe daily.

That's it.

 

[reinking]

Brush teeth.
Shower at least once a day.
Shave at least once every two days.
usually wear clothes.

 

[German Shocks]

usually wear clothes.

USUALLY?

 

[Meicyn]

USUALLY?

Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it.

 

[Bojji]

[The Fartist]

I eat one meal a day, sometimes two, no breakfast. I'm 5'11 170lbs. That's about it, I brush at least twice a day, shower 5 days a week, try and get at least 7 hours of sleep. Shave about once a month, 1 haircut per year. I look 30, at 42.

 

[HRK69]

My routine is basically just being 6'7 and praying my joints hold up until I'm 40

Height-maxxing is great

 

[Ikutachi]

 

[SpiceRacz]

Ribeye steaks 3 - 4x a week, the bare minimum amount of sleep to get me through the work week, and a steady flow of these.

Water is optional and vegetables have no place in my kitchen.

[ReBurn]

The key is making a lot of money.

 

[Ovek]

I'm a man.

Step 1: Roll out of bed, typically hungover
Step 2: Shower, use one product that washes hair, face, body and bum crack that comes in a massive XXL size bottle.
Step 3: Find clean clothes by giving them a sniff like that scene in Ghostbusters 2.

 

[epicurius-seven]

Rub sleep out of eyes.
Comb my hair flat from sleeping wrong.
Wash junk.

I managed to lose a fair bit of weight a few years ago by actually cooking, only two meals a day, and having a consistent bedtime. I'm still lazy and not terribly fit.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Man to man just brush teeth, yes lift weights but at the end of the day

[CGNoire]

I use a Mortar and Pestel to make my own Pub Shampoo.

 

[Meicyn]

I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st street. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

 

[xandaca]

Just finished eating a bag of crisps. Have been in my bedroom most of the time for the past four days as it's the only air conditioned room. Haven't worn anything but a bedsheet since Monday. A triumph is me.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Hydrochloric acid bath. Once a month. It's a one and done routine.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

-Sleep 10–12 hours (non‑negotiable)

[MaestroMike]

A nice smile goes a long way

 

[Windle Poons]

I get up I have a shower and a shave and I go to work.

 

[OverHeat]

Gayyyyy!

 

[DavidGzz]

Lift 7x a week. I have a standing desk at home and at work so I can pedal a bike or use a walking pad while I work/game. I trim my hair myself. That's it. High protein diet as well.

 

[GymWolf]

Lifting and being tall with a cute face and green eyes and a good hairline is usually enough to get by.

I saved my hairline by stopping using hair gel and other products when i was 16.

Op sleep in one day what i accumulate in 3 days, dafuq

 

[RickSanchez]

I don't need one, i'm just so naturally damn good looking

 

[John Marston]

Your threads are always creative I'll give you that

Regarding your topic I have nothing really, but my hands could have used some moisturizer earlier in my life.

 

[thefool]

I grow my beard
I exercise
I walk
I eat well
I'm still an ugly motherfucker. Oh well.

 

[Rentahamster]

Penis pump 4x/week
Pineapple once a day
Moisturizer 2x/day applied with someone else's hands
Cap'n Crunch for texture

 

[JimmyRustler]

OP, you forgot to mention one of your routines.

 

[John Bilbo]

I sleep

 

[GymWolf]

Penis pump 4x/week
Pineapple once a day
Moisturizer 2x/day applied with someone else's hands

I had an hamster before, 4x time a week is nowhere enough buddy.

Your hair is just genetically gifted, bro.
If hair products could damage hair that much, all women on Earth would be bald.

 

[GymWolf]

I know it's mostly genetic, but abundant hair gel for decades probably doesnt help.

All my friend that used gel are all fucked

 

[Sticks]

I only beat my meat

 

[Fbh]

-I wake up.
-Spend the next 20 minutes considering if I really need a job, how long I could last with my savings and wondering if maybe I have incredibly sexy feet and I'll never know until I try to monetize them.
-If it's winter add an extra 5 minutes of gathering up strength to get up into the cold.
-Shower. Wash my face and body with soap.
-My breakfast is usually just greek yogurt with fruit.
-Go to the gym 3 times a week
-Try to eat healthy and keep a balanced diet

[Ironbunny]

- eat rather healthy with weekend cheat days. No candy or colas
- don't be dirty SOB but shower daily at morning and before sleep.
- keep sports as hobby not a routine
- wear clothes that you feel confident in.
- have sexy time as much as you can

This seems to work fine and keep me lean and happy. Fuck anything that is maxxxxxing.

To cook it more evenly?

 

[Topfuel]

 

[Trogdor1123]

Brush teeth.
Shower at least once a day.
Shave at least once every two days.
usually wear clothes.

Me: taking notes

 

[Madflavor]

I'm not a closeted homosexual or serial killer, so I don't "looksmaxx". I practice the ancient ways of healthcare and basic hygiene:

1. Shower every morning.
2. Brush my teeth.
3. Cardio (Swimming).
4. Try not to eat like a total slob.
5. Impale my wife 3-5 times a week to maintain vitality.
6. Sleep for 6-8 hours a night.

 

[Trunx81]

Lots of horizontal cardio.

 

[Sticks]

To cook it more evenly?

Yes

 

[Grildon Tundy]

After turning 30, I had to integrate eyebrow hair trimming into the self-care routine. Those things grow like weeds through cracks in a sidewalk now.

Pluck that one random forehead hair about once a quarter.

And most importantly, follow the men's guide to showering:

 

[RCX]

#1 - Brush teeth morning and night

#2 - get 8+ hrs sleep everynight

#3 - never use the term "looksmaxxing"

 

[German Shocks]

I'm serious, get your hair professionally cut (if u can).
Pick a color that suits you. Go to a stylist and get their opinions on it. If you can't afford it, there are a lot of videos online also teaching you color theory, and the best cut for you.

And there's a reason why it's called, "beauty rest".
Getting good sleep is good for recovery and looks.
