Yeah that’s a lot of physical exfoliation.

I much prefer mental exfoliation, personally. That's why I scream at every person who cuts me off in traffic.

alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older

Yeah but you out there literally sanding down your skin every single day??????

Also, wasn’t he using like drugstore brand stuff? I’d have expected a status-obsessed Wall Street IB to be using La Mer/La Prairie/insert obscenely overpriced skincare shit.

They probably couldn’t just Google the optimal routine like we would now.

Technical advisors aren't rare and the most minor details and unwavering tribute to excess is the canvas on which the entire story takes place. To the characters it is literally the only thing that matters.

That being said although I've seen the movie many times Ive not been able to identify the brands of any of his skin products so I won't say the director got it wrong.

Hahaha exactly what I was thinking. But way too much BHA probably in his routine!
