Just a viet girl in her 30s with oily/combo skin. I found out I was combo when I switched to a lighter moisturizer and my cheeks started getting dry. I found belif works for me year round. I switch up my toners depending on what belif has available when I restock lol but it hasn't failed me yet. And I love using random minis I get. The tried and trues are the IS clinical bottles, Tatcha cleanser, and my superfood sunscreen though. And I swear by the pimple cream + IS orange bottle for pimples!!
So, I'm someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup since my skin isn't used to it, especially for all-day wear. I only use a few key items to help me achieve an elevated, natural look. These also should not be expensive because I would hate buying expensive items and end up not liking them!
