I'm sure there's variations in price based on where you get it and if amazon is having sales/add ons etc. Total is about $110 if you went out and bought all the products at once or roughly $20 a month. Totally reasonable imo!
EDIT: Bad math, sorry, I needed to count the Micellar water twice since it doesn't last me as long as the other products. Totals are estimates.
EDIT #2: Forgot the CereVe cleanser so I added that in as well. Some of the items don't have estimated time frames of how long it takes me to use up because I've never used them up.
Though tbh, I've been taking good care of my skin for >6 months now and I don't need to use most of this stuff anymore, just my cleanser and moisturizer twice a day.
Same here. It has made a lot of difference for me.
Witch Hazel
Moisturizer
Face wash
That’s all 3 things I use. The last 2 have lasted me 5 months and I use them both morning and night. The toner lasts about 2-3 months.
For PP care (uncomplicated vaginal birth, 1st degree tear) I used Depends Adult Diapers (maybe 20? Had a few left over), Dermoplast (the blue can!!!), Tucks Pads, and made padsicles (20ish) before hand (extra large maxi pads, alo vera gel, alcohol free witch hazel, a spattering of tea tree oil, pop in freezer). Hands down would recommend. My hospital didn't send me home with any supplies so I'm glad I went ahead and got some "just in case" items before hand. The adult diapers were pretty much like wearing comfy granny panties, not at all "diaper feeling" like I thought they'd be, and I could pop a padsicle in every few hours easy peasy without worrying about ruining underpants or leaking everywhere. Once the Depends needed to be changed out I'd just trash the whole thing and start fresh. No clean up - 10/10.
Pricing everything out I've listed (lazily) on Amazon my "kit" would be around $80, but you can find these things for much cheaper in CVS or your local drug store. Looking at the quantities included in your kit I'm thinking you'd have to buy additional products anyway (more pads for sure, more briefs most likely, and I'm not sure how easy it is to clean the compresses but the padsicles are awesome and disposable, major plus in my book). I'm not sure it's as great a kit as it looks at first glance.
ETA - I didn't need these for PP care but I do love having chux for the kiddo. I have a few in the diaper bag and lay them on nasty public changing tables before I lay down his changing pad for an extra layer of protection (and so I don't drag a dirty pad back into the diaper bag).
For the past few days, I've been trying out the double-cleansing method with jojoba oil as make-up remover and then going in with Garnier Clean+ Smoothing Cleanser for Dry Skin on my spin brush. I'm loving it so far! My face feels very smooth and cleansed afterwards.
Since I don't have toner in my routine yet, I went ahead and ordered Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera I'm super excited to receive it in a couple days and try it!
Sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen, and in case you missed it, sunscreen. If you’re like me at this age we’ve had plenty of sun exposure without sunscreen on, and the sun absolutely can and will wreck our skin if we don’t put some damn sunscreen on.
As for my daily routine there isn’t much to it, so it should be a pinch for you to copy and adapt to your own needs.
That’s it. I do the first two steps in the shower every morning and then at night I just wash my face with the soap and reapply a little bit of the moisturizer. There are other things I do now to help my skin out like changing my bed sheets every few days, pillow cover every 4 (flip and rotate the pillow every night to use the 4 sides), and again put on some damn sunscreen and wear a hat if I’m going to be outside for a good while even in the winter. I’m bald and shave my head completely clean so the hat and sunscreen are extra important for me.
Would something like Thayer's No Alcohol Rose Toner work for you? It's cheap, widely available and calming/moisturizing.
Jealous you got to go to Japan! Tokyo is a travel goal.
Neogen's Bio-peel exfoliating pads are incredible, and I use them once to twice a week. I just finished my pack of the wine exfoliants, and purchased the green tea one as a replacement. The wine one contains antioxidants and seemed to be more of an anti-aging product, whereas the green tea one appears to be more of a cleanse and tone and neutralize type of effect. Both are great, although I've only used the green tea one twice thus far. The wine one really helped mitigate some acne scars I had on my cheek, and has the highest ratings on Amazon.
I follow the exfoliant with a quick wash (just normal Neutrogena face wash) and tone with Thayer's Rose Water Witch Hazel. It's a non-alcoholic toner that moisturizes while tightening up the pores and cleansing a little extra. Most drugstore toners contain alcohol, which serves the opposite purpose of drying your skin out, and accelerating oil production, thereby creating more acne. You can purchase Thayer's at CVS or most drugstores; there's several other witch hazel alternatives that seem to work fine as well. This one just smells extra nice.
After toning, I slather on some aloe vera gel. The one by Nature Republic is dirt cheap, gets the job done, and the tub lasted me like six months. Aloe Vera is a great moisturizer because it's all natural, contains little to no additives, and isn't oily so it won't clog up your pores. It also feels great on the skin, kind of a cool jelly feeling.
Once that's done, I put a small dab of Skinfood's Royal Honey Propolis Serum. This shit is pricey, but it's magic. This, paired with the Neogen exfoliator, really wiped out the acne scars. It doesn't have a smell, and the consistency is thick and syrupy, so just use a small drop and it goes a long way. Your skin will feel super glowy afterwards.
A few times a week, before bed I'll wrap up the above skincare routine with Etude House's Moistfull Collagen Sleeping Pack. Legit, the morning after wearing this, I won't put on makeup because my skin's so on healthy. If you exfoliate, do the whole aforementioned skincare shebang, and then sleep with this baby on your face, you will be RADIANT. The sleeping pack is a jelly-like cream that you slather over your face in a thin layer. I've had my pack of it for like two months and it's still more than half full. It dries up within about five minutes, and is barely visible. It rinses off easily the next morning, with a little soap and warm water.
​
Hope this helps!!! I freaking love skincare lmao, if you couldn't tell.

Hi! I suffered from oily sensitive skin problems too before! Here's the routine I followed and I noticed a big difference:
Face Wash (2 times a day): I used simple korean face washes and these worked wonders for me! You can find really cheap face washes at Marshalls/TJ Maxx or at Amazon. Here's a good brand: https://www.amazon.com/Etude-House-Baking-Powder-Cleansing/dp/B00819F4OO/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520014584&sr=8-1&keywords=korean+baking+soda+face+wash
Toner (2 times a day): SUPER IMPORTANT! I used alcohol free which is super important if you have sensitive skin. I highly recommend this toner I still use it to this day and my skin has calmed a lot and become so soft. You can get this on amazon or any local stores really like Sprouts or even Marshalls TJ Maxx. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Thayers-Alcohol-Free-Petal-Witch-Hazel/dp/B007HD570Q/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1520014674&sr=1-3&keywords=thayers
Moisturize (2 times a day): I know it seems weird to moisturize an oily face but trust me its needed. Sometimes your skin might be super oily since its not receiving enough moisture and thus overcompensates by producing a bunch of oil (I've heard this before I'm not a doctor though). You just can't use super creamy moisturizers. This is my go to really light moisturizer. I prefer gel moisturizers since they don't feel as heavy on my face and provide a good balance to my skin. Link: https://www.amazon.com/MIZON-Snail-Recovery-Cream-Count/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=sr_1_6_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1520014798&sr=1-6&keywords=mizon+snail
Face Mask (once or twice a week): Since you have sensitive skin I don't recommend using Charcoal as it might be too harsh. I instead use any exfoilating (or non exfoliating) masks with tumeric. It's a great anti inflammatory perfect for sensitive skin. I use this one personally: https://www.amazon.com/YLLO-Turmeric-Scrub-Chickpea-Exfoliant/dp/B0764M4MWT/ref=sr_1_13_sspa?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1520014932&sr=1-13-spons&keywords=tumeric+mask&psc=1
Again you just have to experiment with what works best for your skin. It's a difficult process but I'm sure you'll find a way. Sorry for the really long post but I hope this helps! :)
I’ve been struggling with blackheads/redness/combo for awhile now and the biggest miracle worker I’ve found is Thayer’s Witch Hazel Toner w/ Rose Petals. I use it right after I wash my face in the morning, let it dry and then apply a light moisturizer.
They have a selection of toners (rose, cucumber, etc.) and I swear it’s been magical- no, I haven’t been paid lol. Hope this helps!!
https://smile.amazon.com/Thayers-Alcohol-Free-Petal-Formula-12-Facial/dp/B007HD570Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=thayers+rose+petal+witch+hazel+alcohol-free+toner&qid=1569137801&sprefix=thayers&sr=8-3
The playa poses a few challenges to taking care of your skin:
1 - Maintaining the pH balance of your acid mantle
Believe it or not, the skin on your face is slightly acidic (pH of about 5.5). This helps protect your skin from acne-causing bacteria. However, playa dust is alkali and can throw your pH off kilter. You know that "squeaky clean" feeling you get after washing with some soaps? Unfortunately that's your acid mantle being washed away by alkali detergents which leaves your skin more sensitive to all sorts of nasty stuff (bacteria, fungus, pollutants, etc). Thus all the stuff you hear about using a "gentle cleanser" for washing your face. This actually means a pH neutral cleanser.
2 - Keeping your skin from getting too dry
Another aspect of protecting your acid mantle is to make sure it isn't too dry (meaning too little oil or water). The structure of your skin's acid mantle contains fatty lipids which help form this protective barrier. Dry it out and your skin is again vulnerable. For those who say their skin clears up on the playa, I'm guessing these folks may have oily skin so the dry atmosphere may help them balance shit out. Since you are already on a topical solution, I think you'd be especially sensitive to dry skin issues.
3 - Protecting your skin from the sun
Sun damage is real, m'kay? The sun's rays slow down the production of new skins cells. Age also slows down this process. You know how little kids rarely get scars? That's because their skin "heals faster" vs. adults, meaning their skin cells regenerate faster. If you are trying to heal acne or some sort of scratch, use sunscreen! You'll be amazed how much faster your skin starts to look better.
So, what should you do on the playa? I recommend cleaning your face using a cotton pad and a mild organic toner twice a day. The toner removes the playa dust, adds some skin-loving vitamins, and helps the skin from getting dried out. You also need to use sunscreen (ideally a physical formula) so it stays on a good chunk of the day.
TL:DR -- clean your face with a cotton pad and a mild toner 2X a day and use sunscreen.

Note: I just bought these on the recommendation of others. Personal experience in a week or so.
My HRT (2 months) hasn't gone on long enough to expect body hair changes. Also, no clue on back or ass wax. I'm going to have to look into a professional soon, as I don't have a patient significant other.
May I recommend a little Thayer Witch Hazel. Very soothing.

I've read some sunscreens have a matte finish so hoping this might.
I'm a guy fwiw who just recently went down the skin care rabbit hole after getting an essential oil diffuser and reading they have skin benefits as well, so this is all new to me
Biore sunscreens typically get a lot of love. I think the most common/popular one is Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence. You'll need to invest in a cleanser to properly remove it though. Biore sunscreens also tend to have alcohol in them, which I'm not sure if you're trying to avoid.
Not mrs_muffin and this isn't AB but I used to use Thayers Rose Petal Toner which is alcohol-free.
I shave in the shower. After lathering up and making sure my skin is softer, i'll shave with a razor (DollarShaveClub FTW) and afterward use witch hazel to calm down any redness or bumps.
It's my birthday today and went on a purchasing splurge!
New Purchases:
Refillable Atomizer Bottles - Came in 6 pieces and a little soft bag! Originally I was gonna use this for my colognes and perfumes; easily fits in pockets so I can spray on the go (also bonus point quick air freshener for bathrooms cuz some men's rooms be rank af.....); but then I was on the hunt for misters for my toners and realized I could use these perfectly for them! It's color-coded too so I don't mistake one of my scents for a toner!
-I filled the pink one with Kikumasamune High Moist Lotion
-the red one with Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner w/ Rose
-the blue one with Secret Key Milk (new)
-and the gold one with Secret Key Aloe (new)
The secret key ones are new purchases im trying out B) giving them about 2 weeks trial runs each before I rotate them in my routine!
Benton Snail Bee Essence - I enjoyed using the sheet masks once a week beforehand, and figured I'll up it to a more frequent usage so I went ahead and got the essence bottle! \o/ Dipped my toes with sheet masks first cuz I wasn't too sure about the bee venom ingredient (especially considering I get a bad reaction from stings) but it's gentler than I thought and no allergic reaction!
Etude House Sunprise Airy Finish SPF 50+ PA+++ - Received this 2 days ago! Previously I used Cerave AM and disliked the pilling and white cast on just a beige skintone! This is my first time using a sunmilk and the consistency is really nice! Goes on smoothly and can layer easily, with no whitecast after absorbing! If I wanted to, I could layer a moisturizer underneath without worrying about it pilling as well! Since I'm oily enough I'm not as concerned with it's lack of moisturizing and I find just toning layers is enough for me underneath! Great for oil control so far!
Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen Tinted Face SPF 50 - Got this about a week ago! Since summer is around the corner, and the etude house isn't a waterproof sunscreen, I went with this that I bought at ulta! This matched my skintone pretty well so there was pretty much no whitecast. If it's a really sweaty day or I'm gonna be somewhere where there happens to be water/rain, this waterproof sunscreen was perfect! (and reef-safe for ocean trips)
Rohto Melano CC - On the way in the mail but excited to try this out since I was looking for a vitamin C, but wanted to start out gently!
Kao Success Scalp Washing Brush (Normal Type) - Sort of skincare since it has to do with the scalp, this is also on it's way on the mail. I'm a fan of scalp brushes since my hair is pretty thick (and also dandruff woes). The tips of it has little bumps on them and there's 3 types of tips on a single brush for that jam packed scalp action, so gonna give it a whirl and see how different it is from the standard silicone scalp brush!
-----------------------------------------------------
Repurchase:
Tony Moly Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Cream - I realized using stridex as my gentle BHA exfoliator and a Cerave SA cream on top of that meant I technically had 2 BHAs in a night routine, so I'm returning back to chok chok! Good point to change tbh since the cream is too heavy for summer. The tony moly one is pretty light and had good oil control!
Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Pads - Bringing back AHAs into my life for my PIH; I'm gonna rotate them with my BHAs. I prefer low %s so the 2.8% was perfect!
I'm not great at skincare stuff, but make sure to look for a witch hazel that doesn't contain alcohol. The one I see most mentioned here is Thayers (alcohol free) rose petal witch hazel toner. Not sure about cheap moisturisers but someone else here will probably have some cheap recs!
I got it from Amazon! https://www.amazon.ca/Thayers-Alcohol-Free-Petal-Witch-Hazel/dp/B007HD570Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523933572&sr=8-1&keywords=thayer&dpID=4186rx-UsfL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch :-)

I'm brand new here. Previously used Cetaphil's facial cleanser as my only face product, but it was too harsh. I have relatively gentle skin. In the past, it has fluctuated between dry and oily.
Anyway, I bought the following products recently:
I've been using all of them, in order, for both AM and PM routines. Is this a good start / should I add anything? Should I be doing something different for AM vs PM?
My skin seems a little clearer already, although it gets worse whenever I shave (working on that).
I haven't have pimples latelly, I think I have a combination of both, because my cheeks are dry while my nose and forefront are oily...
My routine now is:
AM:
Reading your comment about using powder foundation could be a contributor too! During the day when you wear makeup you skin essentially eats whatever is on it, so if you're completely matte in other areas (where it appears flaky) it could absorb more quickly in others (the shiny nose/forehead T-Zone.) I would recommend using Lush's Ocean Salt exfoliant twice a week- about $20 for product that will last you months- to remove dead skin cells and give your skin a very fresh feeling! Also a toner can work wonders and implementing a really simple moisturizer with SPF in it at night and in the morning. Then swapping to a hydrating foundation and setting it with a powder in ONLY the areas that get oily throughout the day will help immensely with the dry and cakey/flaky feeling. Below I'll list some products I suggest trying:
Toner:
Thayer's Witch Hazel
-The most important thing about toners is that they CANT have alcohol in them, it will dry out your skin even more! I like the rose one the best just because it smells nice, but the lemon grass one is great as well
Foundation:
Loreal Pro Glow
-This is a really great dewy foundation that isn't going to be drying or super matte and cling to your skin. It has a good shade range and great reviews! Also pretty affordable as far as quality foundations go.
Moisturizer:
Simple Skincare
-This is such a GREAT brand for amazing products and really inexpensive to try and see what your skin needs, this is a good general low-maintenance piece I recommend a lot, I've used it for quite a while and it makes my very dry skin happy when I don't have time for anything else
I hope this helps!!
I'm using Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera which seems to say it is pH balacing, to 5.5.
Thanks for the L-AA news. I was using it before the lactic acid until recently and will now switch back.
I'm definitely not mixing the mizon with sunscreen. I put on mizon, wait 5-10, then put on cerave AM, which has sunscreen plus other good stuff. Sorry I didn't type that clearly.
Thank you for this. Funny thing is I bought some things already from amazon (I bought differin) so I’m gonna save up some money before getting other things.
Funny you said to ditch the hyaluronic acid because i just ordered this :/ it got good reviews and I wanted to try https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XTM1HMB/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518771665&sr=8-5-spell&keywords=hyaluronic+acid+moisturizer+collaen
I will soon buy whah you recommend me and tell you how it goes since it seems you know what you are talking about
I really fucked up my face using too much exfoliants and then ended it with a Kojic acid soap. My face got darker (which I don’t want, I just want to have my natural skin tone which I’m trying to accomplish, made some progress...I feel my actual skin tone without the influence of the sun looms the best) and super irritated and dry so I’m trying to heal it
Someone also recommended me this and it looks pretty good when it comes to soothing the skin
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007HD570Q
I try to keep mine simple while still doing what I can to prevent further damage. I didn't take care of my skin at all in my 20s so I'm undoing damage now, but the vitamin C serum and sunscreen combo have helped a ton. I have fairly sensitive skin, and it gets easily dehydrated as well.
Morning
Evening
Whenever my skin still gets dehydrated for whatever reason I apply Rosehip oil. Sometimes I do a chick pea flour + Turmeric mask which works great but is a bit drying so the oil helps a lot.
My only suggestion would be to use an astringent. I use a witch hazel toner
Might be a little late but I had really bad acne for a kid and still would as an adult if I didn’t adopt a strict skincare routine and diet (it’s not that bad). Drinking water and changing your pillowcases frequently (every week to two weeks) also will help especially if you start putting all this product on your face. see note at the end*
For some, cutting out either, some, or all of the following helps alleviate acne: Dairy, Oil, Sugar, Gluten. But since you said you had no changes in diet I won’t go into that. Sorry in advance for formatting errors as I did all of this from mobile. Some products have instruction in Korean but I will tell you how to use them. Everything is used everyday/every night unless specified.
*Note: you may need to slowly introduce these products. Most of them are geared toward moisturizing and preventing aging as well. If you do anything, I’m at least recommend exfoliating often, changing pillow cases and properly moisturizing your skin using the sheet masks as well as possibly vitamin E serums. I plan on getting some but have no money rn, but Belei sent me free samples and I loved it. I think The Ordinary also carries some. Also, properly washing your face will probably help as well, and I’d recommend getting at least a spin brush. Over rubbing your face can be harmful to the skin and skin brushes usually clean well enough without harm.
I hope this helps! This is my whole routine but if anything jumps out feel free to not look at everything! I’m of course not a dermatologist but this helped me and I now only get pimples usually if I eat excess of the previously mentioned triggers :) my skin is now brighter and dark spots clear up in about 2-3 months but are usually lighter after about two weeks.
Thanks for your comments! I thought that rubbing balm into my eyes sounded a little dangerous. If I already have a toner is that substitutable for micellar water, or is there something about micellar water that's good for removing makeup? (I've never used it before.)
I'm not entering my own contest but here's my routine:
Then I prime and apply makeup as normal.
At the end of the day I:
Repeat 2-5 and go to bed.
Sometimes I do sheet masks and Indian Clay masks with ACV.
I wanna start going to the sauna at my gym once a week too for happy skin.
Thayer's Toner
Eau Thermale Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream
I've bought some different oils and made my own beard oil but it's fantastic for your face as well. I use even after I shaved my beard.
