Build Your Routine and Track Results
Once you’ve selected your products, assemble a straightforward routine: cleanse, moisturize, and apply sunscreen each morning; cleanse and moisturize at night, adding your targeted treatment as needed. This approach keeps you under the $50 limit while covering all essentials.
Track your skin’s progress by taking weekly photos or keeping a skincare journal. Be patient, as visible changes can take several weeks. Adjust your products if you notice irritation or lack of improvement. Consistency is key—sticking to your routine daily is the best way to see results.
