I’m sharing with you some of my favourite, basic skincare products that just happen to be budget-friendly and super affordable! All of these are high quality despite the low price. Since “affordability” is subjective, I’m setting the cut-off at $20. Most of these are under $15. I have something for all skin types! I’m sticking to skincare basics with this video and will most likely do another one with my favourite masks and other actives and special treatments! Some of these items have remained favorites for years, standing the test of time while there are a few newer discoveries too.

Wishing you all great skin health!
I love your videos, and that you complete them with post, since I am Spanish and it costs me a little to follow the videos. But with the post, I do not lose anything.
I learn a lot by watching and reading your post.
A great job.
Hello how are you getting on with heim8sh new formulation? Is it as effective as the old one… I’m about to buy it and want your opinion first. Thanks x Alyaa
Hi!
I couldn’t help myself but order a few things you mentioned in the post. I also saw your video on them and I think they might work great for me. Ordered the Secret Key First Treatment Essence, CosRX Good morning cleanser and Heimish all clean balm 🙂 I just had a deep chemical peel with my dermatologist and would like to maintain results once I drop off all my face skin. Also, lately I’ve been quite congested, breaking out and dry and irritated. Haven’t tried Korean skincare yet and can’t wait to do so 🙂
I used the link you gave for Secret Key essence which i hope it works. They ship to my country (Poland) which is great and a lot of products are on a nice sale, too.
Will let you know how i like them once they arrive.
Love from Poland,

Dear Renee,
Your videos have really helped me with balancing my skin. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your research and videos. The one thing still missing in my routine is a Vitamin C serum, mainly due to prices I just can’t afford. Some of the more affordable brands I’ve looked into however don’t list the % of VitC or the PH level of their products. Could you please recommend a budget friendly Vitamin C serum that still works?
Thanks and love from Germany 🙂

Yes Lisa! I will review Vit C soon!
Hi!
Great vid!
You mentioned that you mist with hydrating toner throughout the day. Will that deteriorate the sunscreen? Of course it would depend on how water-proof the sunscreen is but would it mean you’ll need to reapply sunscreen more frequently when you do mist.

Hi Renée,
I just want to say that I can’t not thank you enought for all the help you channel and blog brings to me. I was totally lost and confused about the skin care. I tried to documentate myself with the information on internet, However all the sites I checked wasn’t as good as I expected. Then, I found your channel that came with well explanations and difference tutorials that brought me some light about the skincare and also knowlege (some of the things you explained I didn’t knew it before). Thank youuuu soooo much 🙂
Also I wanted to say if you’re planning to do a tutorial about traveling, things that you bring with you, tips or information, as the summer is comming I’ll travel for holiday and I’m a little bit confused which are the essential products i need to bring with me.
Love from Spain
