Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been using products from The Ordinary for several months now (since getting into this sub), and today when I placed an order (gotta get those new antioxidants!) I had a bit of a realization.Since May, I've placed 6 orders, for a total of 19 products, and spent $150 (each order was approx $30 to get that free shipping).Before finding this sub, I took my skincare advice from a friend whose attitude seems to be "the more expensive it is, the better it must be." Shiny packaging and slick marketing aside, I could never really tell if the high-end stuff did any good.Since starting a proper routine and getting into TO products, my skin has never looked better, and I've been spending way less money on products of dubious effectiveness. The only thing I've run out of was the Azelaic Acid, which I replaced, and the only thing that didn't work for me was a too-light shade of the serum foundation (which I sent to my pasty sister - you're welcome, sis!)Even if I start to upgrade from TO to NIOD over the next year or so, the simple no-frills products from The Ordinary have allowed me to figure out what does and does not work for me, and therefore which ingredients I should be looking for in other products. It's also encouraged me to take a more scientific view of skincare - focusing on chemistry, not "luxury."So, I guess I just wanted to say thanks to the sub for encouraging people to get smarter, not fancier, with their skincare.Also, I am not a paid shill for The Ordinary. I just like it.
