I saw my face in natural sunlight for the first time in months and im lowkey shook (I work remotely)

This is so embarrassing to admit but I work remote and my apartment doesnt get great natural light so i basically see myself in my bathroom mirror under warm bulbs every day and thought my skin was doing great but last weekend I went to brunch with friends and sat outside and when I opened my front camera to check my teeth for food I literally gasped. In direct sunlight my skin looked SO different than what I see at home. I could see texture I never noticed, some sun spots forming on my cheeks, and the fine lines around my eyes were way more visible than I thought. Im 29 and I've been doing a basic routine just cerave cleanser during the day basically and a retinol at night and thought i was fine but clearly what I was seeing at home was giving me a false sense of security, so I did a full "skin audit" and it was humbling...

Has anyone else had this kind of wake up call? I feel like working from home has made so many of us lose touch with what our skin actually looks like. Im now looking into adding some kind of treatment or device to my routine because clearly just the basics arent cutting it for what I actually want my skin to look like. What would you guys suggest has anyone been in a similar situation? Ive been seeing a lot of people mention light therapy recently so im curious about that too?
