Set a Budget
Before you buy your first cleanser or serum, it’s important to know what your skin truly needs — and how much you’re willing to spend. A basic skincare routine includes:
- A gentle cleanser
- A hydrating toner or mist
- A nourishing moisturizer
- A treatment product (mask, serum, or exfoliator)
- Sunscreen (AM only)
💡 Optional extras include night creams, eye gels, or specialty masks.
Below, we’ve categorized skincare sets to help you make smarter choices based on your budget and skincare goals.
