I used to spend so much on skincare, now this is the only thing I use. It’s so cheap and simple and perfect. (sometimes I use embryolisse lait creme when I’m feeling fancy)

I used to be a full skincare girly, and then my skin got really bad and I read a lot about the skincare industry and how insidious and awful it is. Now I essentially just use 4 things. A cleanser, I use cerave hydrating cleanser. And a moisturiser, in my opinion the more simple the better. My favourite is the embryolisse lait creme, but it’s a lil spenny so I mostly use Nivea soft, which I find to be really similar and costs like £2. the third thing is an oil based cleansing balm for makeup removal. atm I use Bioma, which is the affordable replacement for the very expensive Clinique cleansing balm. I also use an spf (but controversially only when it’s sunny as I live in the U.K. and we have a much bigger vitamin d deficiency problem than we do a skin damage one). Unfortunately I’ve never found a face suncream that isn’t expensive, so atm I use laroche possay, but it lasts me ages cause there isn’t much sun here. for ease and laziness I also use bioderma micellar water for days when Im too tired to wash my face or I’m taking off makeup on the go. I have mostly dry/combo and a little sensitive skin, but this routine will work for any skin type (might need a lighter moisturiser if oily). In the U.K. to but this entire routine with full size bottles would cost around £37, and my skin is infinitely better than it was when I was using elaborate and expensive skin care routines!

genuinely keeps my skin feeling soft all day, it’s thick but doesn’t feel greasy. i use it as a makeup primer as well! i also love the trader joe’s moisturizer as a light moisturizer before going to bed.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
