@Daisy240 my favorite brand is definitely Tatcha. I love the cleansing step as it prepares your skin for everything else. I ldo love a good sheet mask/mask. So relaxing!

I love drunk elephant!! I like the Byoma products and Laneige!!

I personally enjoy this cleanser! It’s hydrating, creamy and makes you feel clean without stripping the skin of its oils. It’s a creamy, almost balm, consistency which feels so soothing on the skin. It can remove light makeup as well! I hope this helps. 🙂

I’m a clean girl and preppy

@beautyandbella I don’t really think you need eye and neck cream because a good face cream can work if you are not targeting any specific issues.

@timba11 I'm not familiar with either of these brands and it's hard to know without feeling the bristles in person what the quality is like. This is more of a know brush brand so I trust them moreI've also had good experience with Spectrum Brushes This brand, Rephr, has more affordable natural eye brushes, which are nice but not a must. The Jessup you mentioned seems to be duping the Morphe x Ariel Collab. Idk what the difference in quality might be, but the jessup seems to have really solid reviews. The DUcare seems a little redundant when it comes to brush shapes but that might work out for the best if you like and use those shapes often (less washing).

@SportyGirly125 I sure do! Thanks for the rec!

Hey! I totally get where you’re coming from—I was in the same boat not too long ago, and it felt super overwhelming at first. The good news is, starting skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need to understand your skin and build from the basics. Here’s a simple way to start: 1. Start with the basics:Cleanser – gentle, non-strippingMoisturizer – something that hydrates without feeling greasySPF – yes, even if you’re indoors sometimes. Super important for long-term skin health. 2. Know your skin type:Are you oily, dry, combo, or sensitive? That’ll help guide your product choices. 3. Don’t go overboard. You don’t need a 10-step routine. Even 2-3 good products can make a difference. Focus on consistency over quantity.As for brands, I’ve had good luck starting with products that are more natural or minimal in ingredients—especially when your skin’s just getting used to a routine. One line I came across recently uses herbal, clean formulations and is super gentle. You can take a look here (not a promo—just something that’s worked well for my skin personally). Also, don’t be afraid to patch test! Your skin will let you know what it loves and what it doesn’t. Happy to answer any specific questions too—you're not alone in this! 💛
