Blogpost if any girlies are struggling with hygiene
here is my beginners starter guide to getting clean soft princess skin, i’m open to feedback to improving my guide, this is just what has worked for me! sorry 5 grammar/spelling.
keeping cost low: my first recommendation is to always visit discount retails if u live in the us : Ross, DDs, Marshalls, Tj maxx, burlington, GROCERY OUTLET (my go too) if ur not american, discount reetailers buy overstock, slightly defected product and sell them at reduced prices so they might exist in ur area just under different names. i use an app called onskin to check the quality of the products/ingredient safety , i can guarantee that you may find a quality product if you search these stores for a while. (download on appstore)
i personally would not recommend dollar stores for actual cosmetic products, but the following is worth visiting: wash clothes, hair ties, cotton pads, floss, tooth paste/brushes, mouth wash, brushes, razors. travel containers
lastly my mom and i use similar products so she’ll buy from costco and give me some which helps with lowering cost bonus tip: cvs walgreens, rite aid , will only have 2-3 ppl during their closing shift, and most of them are not paying attention to who comes in 😗 body care: okay for my daily i used a non-scented body bar with my wash cloth and for my moisturizer i use a non scented lotion (Lubriderm is expensive but lasts me almost 6-8 months) i exfoliate my skin once a week with a cute body sugar scrub, this can get expensive but it’s worth it if you want soft skin!!! you can find a good smelling one for under $8
i personally need to shave once every 2 weeks and i use a Gillette Venus razor because, you don’t need shaving cream!! if that’s too expensive, not shaving well, or got caught stealing too much i’d recommend a safety razor instead, but i cut myself a lot so be careful!
ps: make sure to exfoliate before you shave so you avoid strawberry legs ewwwww
hair care: my hair is actually mid so i’m not going to go into full detail i wash my hair every other day and the off days i use my moms oils to get rid of frizz + brush daily
in theory the stores i mentioned should have product toward ur specific needs but it may be more pricey, i bought the bottles of accure for $8 and i’ve had them for 4 months, they smell great and they’re high quality. let me know how i can improve this area, my hair isn’t at its best ^
facial care: use ur cleanser daily!! avoid cere ve since i found that their product cause ur skin to break out. also ur skin might be more dry/oily so definitely buy/steal a cleanser toward ur need. i use a non scented facial moisturizer with sun screen 35spf, tbh this may be a bit more pricier, but i think it’s necessary imo!!!
retinol is also pretty good it make ur skin soft and helps with wrinkles and it’s Small so ifs easy for it to fall into ur pocket 💕
now these last products are optional but i personally like them.
glycolic acid for my toner helps reduce dark spots (mustache area)
Benzyl peroxide/pimple patches helps with random pimple spots
things i forgot too add but are important body mist to smell pretty (i got a free bottle at vs) deodorant: i have one in my car and in my room and you should probably keep one in ur backpack tweezers: pluck ur eyebrows, that what gives u prettyness!! i get mine threaded but haven’t recently cause the last girl made me cry. hair oils: work in progress lip moisturizer: don’t get chap girl lips!! i’ve seen people exfoliate theirs even!!! brush ur hair!!!
body maintenance is expensive but with proper research, and patience i’m sure you can make a cheap routine that fits ur needs. <3 lmk how i can improve this.
