I'm 26 and my skin is really dry. I've noticed some wrinkles and nasolabial folds appearing, which seem quite noticeable now. I want to avoid filler injections, so I'm looking for ways to improve my skin with just medicines and external treatments like oils, creams, and moisturizers. I already switched from soap to a Nivea body wash, and from using Clean & Clear facewash to an AHA facewash. Lately, I've been using Aquastop sunscreen. I'm also trying a lemon sugar scrub for my dry skin and wrinkles and then applying a thick layer of castor oil. I've been doing this for about five days. Am I on the right track with this routine? Are there any specific creams, moisturizers, or serums that could help make my skin look more radiant and address these issues?

I'm really worried about something I did while making homemade herbal hair fiber. I accidentally burned wheat and barley in a pan that had a bit of cooking oil in it. After I was done, I learned that burnt oil can release harmful and toxic chemicals. Someone told me it's still safe to use the mixture, but I'm not sure. Could you let me know if it's really okay to use, or should I just throw it away?
