Your point about what’s easily available at the drugstore vs what’s not is a great benchmark to use. My cleansers and moisturizers have always generally been more affordable because it’s easy to get great quality at a low price, whereas my serums/actives tend to be more expensive.

So helpful, especially to a student with limited income and someone who's new to skincare

[OneandOnly.]

I really loved this video 😃, when I first started my skincare journey, I first had a cleanser and moisturizer, later on as I got older I used a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, and now present day I use a cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer. OoOoo and don’t forget sunscreen! All that to say that skincare takes time, and throughout that journey you’ll see how your skin changes as you get older my skin that was dry and dehydrated when I was younger became combination and acne prone as I got older. Do what works for you, it takes time, and skincare is a journey not a race.

[lavayuki]

I use Western sunscreens, chemical exfoliants and serums which are expensive for the ones I use, while I use K and J beauty for cleansers, essences and moisturisers which are so much cheaper. I go for cheap cleansing balms, but I do like the glow recipe papaya one, Farmacy and the Beauty of Joseon ones

[kellye.]

I thought that going on a skincare diet would help me save money but now I just end up buying way too many cleansers and moisturizers lol. I love skincare it's so much fun. And I definitely agree with saving for most of the categories. The cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen I use are all under $20 each and my skin has never been better

[zenyalore]

Love this! It also plays nicely into your previous videos of building a routine for under $50! I've been researching and playing in the skincare field as an amateur for a long time now, but I would have loved to have such sound advice in the beginnings of my journey. Sometimes I feel a great many of us fall into the idea that cost equates to better. Which is not the case with a vast majority of products! For those on a budget or those just starting out having a more directed path on what would give your skin the most bang for the buck is phenomenal! Thank you so much for continuing to be the skincare sisters we all need!

[stephaniepalmer]

I really love the point you made about using skincare products for your specific needs and also having multiplie of the same step! I've been focused on using the same products until they're empty but it's really helpful to know that I can rotate in more/different products according to my needs!

I'd also love a video that maybe covers PCOS, like maybe how your skin tells you that you may have it and how to help with hormone imbalance (i. e. skincare, food, wellness, etc.)

[Namri]

OMG THANK YOU FOR DOING MINI SIZES!! Lol will probably just shop at your store now! <3 It hurts to drop $$ and find out that a product won't work for me. This will make it so much easier to find THE ONEs! Thank you! Thank you!

[jenniferluong]

"fel being fel" aka "fel being a skincare queen"

[TheColdestWater]

So helpful, especially today that brands release tons of options to choose from! 😅🤣

[BK]

This was extremely helpful!! So happy you guys did this. Really appreciate such videos cause it is truly hard not to overspend on skincare ...
And the idea about perfume was great.
I would love to see that !

[MrMark]

Girl you glowing today Queen!!!! Oh this video was great!!! And the chalk screak that was funny!!!!
I hope all of you have an awesome day!!!!

[dubioc]

Great video ../ I would love to see a SPF lip products video … I think there’s not a lot information about that out there. Thank you Fel 🙌🏻

[HangNguyen-ihrf]

My nighttime cost
cleansing balm; $32
Cleanser; $70
Toner; $12
Serum; $260
Moisturizer; 280

I have tried to sub many other things and waste so much gazillion dollars…but come back to this routine cuz my skin said so.🤷‍♀️

[kendallstark]

Thank you for this, Fel! Can you start uploading vids to your personal channel again, please? I love your personality!

[TPhamer]

"You know when you're young and you just want to hate on everything in life" 🤣 💜

[Theprayerwarrior]

Such an interesting topic, would love to see a video about which high end brands are worth the money and what’s not, hugs from Alaska💞

[fruitpunch]

Buy a huge bottle of Cerave moisturiser, spend ur money on a Vitamin C serum for morning, a Retinal product at night, and a good sunscreen.

[reneeforrester]

I am always tempted to splurge on moisturizers ciase they are my favourite step. I feel like exfoliants need their own category, even though they might not be used everyday and could come in form of toner or serum but nevertheless

[mawaddahmusthafa]

Can you guys make a video on makeup product recommendations like foundations for people with acne?
