Skin care that won't break the bank

items Finding a skin care routine that actually helps to improve the appearance of your skin can take a lot of trial and error, and I know I've gone through a lot of different products trying to find what works. Personally, I have really dry skin and eczem...

the basics
If you're looking to keep it simple, these are the products I would narrow it down to. I typically stick to only using these on days where my skin is more sensitive than usual. The oil cleanser is only for makeup removal, so it could be considered an...
Oil cleansers are great for removing makeup, and are much better for the skin compared to makeup wipes. I like this one from Torriden.
Torriden DIVE IN Cleansing Oil 200ml - Hydrating Facial Cleanser
This is my favorite cleanser i've ever used by farrrr. As someone with very dry skin, this cleanser never leaves my skin feeling dry, it's super hydrating. Start with makeup remover, then go in with this foaming cleanser to really clean the skin.
DIVE IN 8D Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam for Gentle Daily Cleanse & Refreshing Glow
Think of hypochlorous acid as sort of being like hand sanitizer for your face. That may sound harsh on the skin, but it is actually very gentle and great for killing bacteria that causes breakouts. After cleansing, spray a little of this and let it d...
Base Laboratories Hypochlorous Acid Skin Repair Spray - Saline Wound Wash | Magic Facial Spray | Daily Skin Repair - (8 oz)
Now, I know certain St. Ives products get a bad rap, but as for the moisturizer, I think it works great. It is a very affordable option at only $7 for a pretty large container. I have been using it for quite a while, and I think it moisturizes well, ...
St. Ives Collagen & Elastin Face Moisturizer
Recently I've been trying to figure out the ideal facial sunscreen, and have heard that Korean sunscreens are the way to go. I've been using this one from Mixsoon, and I love it. It blends into the skin great, doesn't leave a white cast, doesn't leav...
Mixsoon Bean Sunscreen SPF 50 Lightweight 50ml

These are some additional products that are not as necessary, but I still think are totally worth it.
I already listed a different makeup remover, but I had to go ahead and add this one too because it's the one I previously used and I think it's another great option. Use it to melt off makeup, then follow with a regular cleanser.
Melting Balm Cleanser - BYOMA | Ulta Beauty
If you have dry skin, this skin therapy oil is a must have (seriously, I cannot recommend this enough). A little bit goes a long way, so it will last you a long time. I apply just a few drops after moisturizing at night. Just enough so that the oil c...
Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil Cocoa & Shea - 5.1 fl oz
This niacinamide serum is great for helping with discoloration, while not being too hard on the skin barrier. I use this one from The Ordinary every night.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion for Dark Spots & Uneven Tone
This azelaic acid formula is another one I have for helping with dark spots. I only use this 1-2 times per week, any more frequent than that may strip the skin barrier.
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Cream for Redness and Blemish-Prone Skin
Now this is a trend I can hop on. A while ago, I was gifted this Leneige lip mask, and I can honestly say it's worth the hype. It really does moisturize so much better than the average lip balm, and while it might not be the most necessary product to...
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask with Vitamin C & Shea Butter
These are always great to have on hand. Personally I prefer patches like these that are clear, as opposed to the colorful ones. These ones from Peach Slices are very similar to the Hero Cosmetics ones (in appearance and quality), but are a way better...
60 ct Acne Spot Dots - Peach Slices | Ulta Beauty
These are the head bands I like to use to keep my hair from getting wet when I wash my face. Plus the wrist bands that come with this set are seriously a game changer, they keep water from running down your arms when you are washing your face.
