I’ve heard a lot that I should be more concerned about my skin care; specifically that I should be moisturizing and applying sunscreen regularly. What brands/suppliers should I be looking at especially for someone on a bit of a budget?
I use CeraVe for my face every day, but I think it would be pretty expensive to use full body. I’ve similarly heard a lot of good things about cocoa butter and korean sunscreen but trying to research things is hard with ai ruining the internet.
I’ve been gravitating towards two brands for skin care: The Ordinary and Prequel. They’re both relatively inexpensive and fairly straightforward. I wash my face with a gentle cleanser (right now it’s Prequel Gleanser) and apply moisturizer (The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Phytoceramides) and sunscreen (Prequel’s physical sunscreen, I forget the name). Swap those out as you see fit, but that’s a basic routine. If your skin is dry, maybe apply twice a day.
If you want to grow from there, find a toner you like and apply it before the moisturizer. Finding a good one takes time, because it takes a while to make a difference. That gows on at night, ideally.
As for body, the basics are very similar, but people usually find different products for their body. Because face skin is more sensitive, face prodicts are usually more expensive.
There is a lot of variety in products, so you might try a few products before you find what you like, but it’s so nice when you find it.
