Hello everyone 😌

I wanted to show you an affordable skincare routine.

Inflation is crazy nowadays & I wondered what is my most affordable skincare routine out of my own stash.

All these products come to a total of 53,24€. I'm quite surprised, in a positive way. In this routine there are some of my all time favorite skincare products. Seems like I'm a budget lover.😁


Quite frank, I get a lot of free skincare & sometimes I get lost when it comes to the prices.  Therefore I really wanted to see what my skincare collection has to offer.

Please keep in mind that  you don't need a double cleanse if it's not fitting your budget & of course there are even more affordable options. I checked Stylevana for the prices, keep in mind that prices can change or can be different in your country. 

Let's go with my budget routine. Also most of them are fragrance free, except the sunscreen which has some essential oils. For reference my skin is dry, acne prone & sensitive.  

Oil cleanser: Hadalabo Cleansing Oil, it's the best!!!! Holy Grail!!! 10,33€ (self purchased) & the refills are even cheaper. ❤️

Cleanser: Pyunkang Yul Acne Cleanser, one of my favorite. It's super soothing & hydrating & you need the tiniest amount. If you have sensitive, age prone & dry skin this is the best cleanser. 6,76€ (gift by Stylevana)

Toner: Tiam Vita B5 Toner, is super hydrating, also one of my faves. The texture is thick & viscous it also has a bunch of peptides. 8,07€ (gifted by Tiam)

Serum: Tiam wins the price point again, the Vita B3 Source, is the best Niacinamide Serum I have tried so far. 8,45€ (Gifted by @go.picky )

Moisturizer: Bonajour Green Team Water Bomb, is a gel cream with many antioxidants. 8,45€ ( gifted by Stylevana)

Sunscreen: Mary and May Cica Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++, it's a good vegan sunscreen with no white cast. 11.18€ (gifted by Stylevana) 

Tell me your favorite budget friendly products.

Affordable asien beauty skincare routine

We all probabt know the big skinflunecer from youtube & instagram, but I'm always searching for smaller, personal skincare accounts. 
I really enjoy reading product review, & I'm a huge fan of texture swatches & hauls/emties. 

What are your favorite skincare instagram accounts? Or do you have your own? 

Btw. I have my own skincare account, I would be honored & it would make me really happy if you drop by.

I&#39;ve used it for many years and I repurchased it so many times I can not count it anymore. The formula is a really light gel type cream and you can feel the slight stickiness from the snail. This product is so versatile, personally I use it most if the time as an essence step or after a lighter serum, but I always need to apply a heavier cream over it, because o have sdry skin. If you have oily or normal skin is would be perfect for you.  I adore this cream and formula, it is fragrance and  essential oil free and it contains many antioxidants like snail secretion filtrat, copper tripeptide-1(which I love), camelia sinesis leaf extract and Centella asiatica extract. It is really a true all in one cream because it also has many cell communicating ingredients like adenosine, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, which is anti inflammatory, again copper peptide-1 which helps wound healing and has skin remodeling properties as well as sh-oigopeptide-1 which stimulates cell growth. The moisturizing ingredients are pretty basic it is just glycerin and sodium hyaluronate. 
It helps me truly to combat my inflamed and sensitive skin and helps to recover my skin faster.

The only downside is th the small bottle. I use it up so quickly.

Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Arbutin uses traditional korean ingredients combined with modern skincare ingredients for an even, bright &amp; healthy complexion. 
The Serum is fragrance &amp; alcohol free. 

Traditional ingredients are Rice Bran Water 68.6% (rich in antioxidants, hydrating, brightening), Coptis Japonica Root Extract (antioxidant, soothing anti-inflammatory), Sesame Seed Extract (soothing) &amp; Soybean Seed Extract (hydrating, soothing, skin brightening, antioxidant).

For modern (western) ingredients we have Glycerin, Glucose, Trehalose, Methyl Gluceth-20, Arginine &amp; Butylene Glycol for moisture. 
2% Arbutin is great for skin brightening &amp; Panthenol is soothing. 

The serum comes in a small 30ml dropper bottle. I do love the way how traditional yet modern the branding is. 
The texture is light &amp; watery but it still has a slip to it &amp; glides beautifully over the skin. I need about half a dropper full of product. 
It is not as hydrating as i thought it would be, still I can feel a noticable difference after application, therefore I think all skin types can benefit from it, nobody dislikes supple hydration. 
I actually stop using Vitamin C to see this product full brightening potential, it is not a rapid brightening product but after 1 1&#47;2 weeks I noticed a slight positive change in skin.

Sometimes I need to work longer to break down makeup & with some sunscreens the product weirdly started burning in my eyes. 

I really love cleaning oils & I'm also a fan of @haruharuwonder_official , therefore I do have high expectations for the Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleaning Oil. It claims to a gentle deep cleaning cleaning oil, which is fragrance + essential + alcohol free.

The ingredient list is really short. 👍 
It contains Rice Bran Oil it is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids & Vitamin E. Sunflower Seed Oil & Jojoba Seed Oil can help with the skin barrier & moisture barrier. Olive Fruit Oil is also rich in antioxidants & Vitamin E. It also includes Macadamia Seed Oils which also is rich in fatty acids. Included is also Tocopherol and that's it. 

The packaging is stunning again, I really love the cohesive gradient design & the pump works really good. The oil texture is a bit dry & medium weight. I need two pumps to get enough product. Since this oil is more on the dry side it isn't as silky as other cleansing oils, but it doesn't drag your skin either. When it comes in contact with water, the dry & heavier texture turns into a lightweight emulsion. 
It breaks down sunscreen & makeup quite well, but with waterproof mascara you need to work it in a little longer. Also I had sometimes the experience that my eyes burned while rinsing, but after a few tries I think that this happened with one particular sunscreen, most days it was totally fine. The skin feels really soft afterwards & if you have their cleanser the combo is really phenomenal. It isn't my favorite cleansing oil, but a good working cleansing oil which isn't price intensive.
I would recommend this to all skin types, since the skin feel moisturized & nourished.

The Ordinary (@deciem ) Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% really helped me fade my acne marks quicker. I&#39;ve never used more than 5% Vitamin C &amp; often it was just a derivative, so I was hesitant to use is at first, I thought it could be to strong, since with a high amount of a vitamin C, irritations can occur. 
Luckily, it wasn&#39;t to strong &amp; my skin tolerated it really well. The combination of Vitamin C &amp; Alpha Arbutin really is a power duo. I loved using Alpha Arbutin for brightening before, mostly in Hadalabo Lotions &amp; it works great on my skin. The two ingredients are suspended in Propanediol, which helps to moisturize, acts as a solvent &amp; can help to increase effectiveness of preservatives. 
I always like the short ingredient list, with #theordinary products, you pay for no fuss. This product is of course fragrance free, essential oil free &amp; water free.
The texture is a slippery oil with is almost transparent. It has a funky smell &amp; I needed to get used to. I can totally understand that some people need fragrances in the skincare, but I just want good results &amp; I don&#39;t mind the smell. If I can put snail, placenta &amp; other weird stuff  on my face &amp; can also stand the natural smell of products. 
I use it in my am routine after toner &amp; I give it a few minutes time to absorb into my skin before I apply my moisturizer. You just need  2-3 drops for the hole face. 
When you are not sure if the product is to strong you can dilute it in your moisturizer &amp; then build your way up to use it on it&#39;s own, thats what I did for the first week, till I was sure that my skin could handle it. 
Normal &amp; dry skin will love this.

It is not calming &amp; hydrating enough for most part.of the year. I do like it in summer, when I want something really like. 
I wish it would calm my rosacea skin even more.

It&#39;s a good affordable fragrance free &amp; alcohol free toner. This can be easily found around the world. 
It is soothing and adds hydration. 
The texture is like water 💦 
It&#39;s a really good product to dip your toes into the skincare world
