i use water, bar soap, and moisturizer and thats pretty much it. (and an epilator for hair removal)

it does keep me clean, but my skin is not so smooth. i would enjoy seeing what others around here do, or perhaps resources you find useful as well.

side tangents on nails, hair, etc. are also welcome :)

    AM:

    • Cleanse/rinse with warm water
    • Toner - numbuzin No.9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner (this step is pretty much slippable- I just like the way it feels)
    • Vitamin C - favorite is the Skincueticals one, but I’m trying different dupes to save money. Currently using the Paula’s Choice BOOST C15 Super Booster
    • Skincueticals P-TIOX
    • Moisturizer - La Roche-Posay Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream
    • Sunscreen (if going out) - medicube No Cast Just Glow Collagen Sunscreen (my holy grail sunscreen)

    PM

    • Cleanse - ETUDE SoonJung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser
    • Toner - same as AM
    • Skincueticals P-TIOX or Paula’s Choice 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Exfoliant (I use this twice a week in place of the P-TIOX)
    • Moisturizer - same as AM

    Body moisturizer - La Roche-Posay Lipikar Urea 10% (this will make your skin suuuper soft)

    I was using prescription Tretinoin and Azelaic acid in place of my different exfoliator serums for awhile, but I didn’t like how angry my skin was getting everytime I had to pause for different things like laser hair removal or microneedling. I’ll eventually go back to them once I finish my laser and microneedling sessions!
