For cleansing nowadays I use Kiehl’s because it’s easy to find anywhere. It was a straight male ESE actually who first recommended them to me, and I got a bottle of cleansing solution as a gift from someone. I love their standard cleanser and also microdermabrasion stuff lol.
I’ve purchased a lot recently so it’s like you’re psychic @
Vex . This past week I’ve gotten my skincare so that I don’t need to wear foundation or concealer (in the first place I only ever wore a bit of concealer or BB cream on blemishes anyway) anymore except if I want to cover dark undereyes (I’ve ordered something natural for that on the way too).
I’ve started using the following concoction of shit (I basically just bought the cheapest options available-$5-10 USD per bottle):
- Vitamin C
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
- Retinol (Vitamin A)
- Hyaluronic acid (humectant)
If I need more moisture then I top it with snail essence by CosRx. I live in a humid environment and haven’t experienced winter yet since doing this but the above makes me pretty moisturized already so I don’t use an extra moisturizer.
I’ve also recently bought and experimented with the following:
- LED light therapy mask with 3 different colors
- Ultrasonic skin spatula
- Dermaroller (as I’ve mentioned before)
Also, I know people say to use SPF but unless I’m doing significant walking outdoors I don’t bother in my current location where the UV index is quite mild.
