at that phase in life where i'm realizing good skincare products are fucking expensive

Asian Skincare (Korean and Japanese) plus The Ordinary Stateside are ridiculously affordable.

well said! i've definitely been trained to slather on way too much.

gonna look into josen, really beautiful branding

Sunscreen is always going to LOOK expensive because American sunscreen has trained us poorly. 

You need a pea sized amount of Korean or Japanese sunscreen. It’s chemical and should glide over your face easily and you should rub it in. 

It’s not physical like other sunscreen. But you also have to wash it off differently, aka probably oil/emulsifying cleaners. One small tube I buy in japan lasts me 3 months easily, sometimes 4. I only apply it once a day!

If I need to reapply I use a spray. 

I can usually buy Beauty of Josen (cult favorite sun screen) for $13 a tube on Amazon.

man i've found korean stuff expensive too, but maybe bc my baseline is near zero lol

as an example the popular roundlab birch sunscreen is the size of my finger and costs $20+
