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+

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

seriouslyyy big L

don't forget the daytime vs. nighttime variants

apparently i should also be throwing in masks here and there but that feels too far lol

it’s bonkers lol, I feel your pain

just covering the basics is a lot of shit:
- cleanser
- toner / exfoliant 
- retinol
- vitamin C
- moisturizer
- sunscreen

I feel your pain, sephora takes all my money :(

appreciate it!! well said.

thankfully my skin feels naturally moisturized from the miami humidity, but will def need to step it up once we move to socal

You don’t need expensive sunscreen cleanser, moisturizer, or a chemical exfoliant to get to a good baseline. Sometimes retinol and vitamin c is pricy, but there are budget options if you want reccos! 

Also, don’t waste your coins on toners, serums, or masks that aren’t serving a specific purpose for *your* needs. Happy to help suggest things if ur still figuring it out.

Getting there, tbh. I’m the first to be edged outta that line item tho. 😆

La Roche Posay is really great for sensitive skin

EltaMD sunscreen has helped with slowly fading hyperpigmentation from acne scars since it has niacinamide in it and a bunch of other good stuff in addition to SPF

Paula’s Choice (great BHA and vitamin C serum)

And also a bunch of Korean skincare lines! I just got a BB cream from Purito and it is excellent. Also a fan of Made From Rice and CORSX

(hello from /uno)

that’s why i wait for my girl to buy her own and use out of it

you have to pay through your eyes and nose

to me they aren’t a necessity till i’m buoyant
