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 :)


Great info! Thanks for this. Out of curiosity would you be able to give an estimate of how much buying all of those products would cost and approximately how long they last you?
Um, unfortunately I can’t comment on exactly how long things last. My memory isn’t good enough to remember how long anything lasts me lol. The serums last a long time for me, and the toner (at least the glycolic acid toner) lasts suuuuper long (esp in the larger size). Oh, and I need to stress this: what works for me may not work for u. I have gradually added things to my routine specifically tailored to my needs, which are likely somewhat different to urs.
How abt this? I’ll list the everything by my subjective “affordability”:
Affordable
A little expensive
Luxury/expensive
Hope this helps a little bit! I’m afraid I really don’t know how long most of these things last, so it’s hard for me to comment on that lol.
This is great info! Thanks so much for all the effort typing it out!!
