Skincare Faves 

After my last round of radiation I'd gone back to the drawing board to try and fix my skin/barrier. After some TikTok scrolling, the easiest and least expensive routine wound up doing wonders. 

My NEW, Super Affordable Skincare Routine

This is wonderful for redness or aggravated skin. 

Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser, Gentle Face Wash for Sensitive Skin - Calms and Cools Redness and Discomfort, PH balanced, Non- Foaming, Gel - Cream Type

This is what I use during active breakouts. It's gentle on sensitive skin, and does a great job of helping clear out pores. 

Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash 

I use this nightly. It's an all around great cleanser if you deal with oily skin or clogged pores. 

Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash

This is a gentle toner, that doesn't dry skin out. It's budget friendly, and the main toner I use in the dryer months of the year. 

CeraVe Hydrating Toner for Face Non-Alcoholic with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Ceramides for Sensitive Dry Skin, Fragrance-Free Non Comedogenic, Full Size, 6.8 Fl Oz

This is another winter must have for me. My skin tends to get dull as it get colder and this is a great serum that doesn't break the bank. 

Pacifica Beauty, Glow Baby Booster Serum For Face, Vitamin C and Glycolic Acid, Brightens and Supports, For All Skin Types, Fragrance Free, Clean Skin Care, Vegan & Cruelty Free , 1 Fl Oz

*This has retinol* If you're new to retinol, use 1x every other day. I would still recommend using this only once a day (PM). 

This is a great, inexpensive, serum to help with anti-aging and it helps clear breakouts too. But it's not something to go overboard with.  

CeraVe Anti Aging Retinol Serum | Cream Serum for Smoothing Fine Lines and Skin Brightening | With Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Ceramides | 1 Ounce

This is a GREAT budget dupe for Charlotte Tilbury's eye cream. 

Revolution Pro, Miracle Eye Cream, Hydrating Under Eye Cream, 15ml

A great budget dupe for Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream Face Moisturizer

Revolution Pro Miracle Cream 100ml

Cerave Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Face with Vitamin B5 and Ceramides | Hydrating Face Serum for Dry Skin | Fragrance Free | 1 Ounce

SPF 30 Baby! This is a MUST when it comes to affordable AM moisturizers. 

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 | Oil-Free Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen | Non-Comedogenic | 3 Ounce

While not marked as a facial moisturizer, a tiny bit mixed with castor oil has been the holy grail for my skin. I've dropped all my toners/moisturizers.

Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream with Pump Dispenser - 16 fl oz (1 lb) - Moisturizer Formulated Without Common Irritants for Those with Sensitive Skin

This is the first wash, of a double wash routine. This is a gentle cleansing oil that manages to clear out my pores and melt off any remaining makeup I miss with cold cream. 

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Cleansing Facial Oil, Gentle Makeup Remover for Face, Rosehip Fragrance, 6.5 Ounce

This is the second wash of the double wash, after the oil. This helps any residual oil come off gently. 

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser, Hydrating Face Wash for Sensitive Skin, Gently Cleanses Face Without Over Drying, Oil-Free, Soap-Free, 5.8 fl. oz

This is an optional step, but with oily skin I prefer to use a toner before moisturizing. This one is gentle and doesn't strip like ones with witch hazel or alcohol. 

Thayers Milky Face Toner, Hydrating Skin Care with Snow Mushroom and Hyaluronic Acid, Alcohol-Free and Fragrance-Free Natural Gentle Facial Toner for Normal, Dry, and Sensitive Skin

Castor oil has become my go to/fix all. It's amazing for skin and hair, without a ton of extra chemicals.

A drop of this mixed into the Vanicream has been an absolute life saver for moisturizing my face. 

For undereye care, take half a drop and gently dab straight castor oil onto dark circles/bags. 

For lash care, put a few drops on a disposable mascara brush and lightly coat lashes. 

Handcraft Blends Organic Castor Oil - 16 Fl Oz - 100% Pure and Natural - Premium Grade Oil for Hair Growth, Eyelashes and Eyebrows - Carrier Oil - Hair and Body Oil - Expeller-Pressed and Hexane-Free

These are what I use to apply castor oil to my lashes.
