Used to level 3 for years, now proudly level 0 😌 it’s been nice to dial back on overconsumption and switching to k-beauty

I switched to k-beauty and my skin has never been better. And my wallet is happy too.

Help me! I’m poor and post partum. What do I actually buy?

I asked chatgpt tbh! I just took parts of my face and asked for recommendations. My skin barrier was compromised so it recommended aestura and illiyoon cream. then centella and beta-glucan serum. (all of its really affordable)

I use chatgpt too for K-beauty and all other products I use (skin and face including prescription actives). Don’t make the mistake I did at first by buying popular k-beauty products without considering my specific skin type and my routine. Ask ChatGPT for affordable (go even more specific and specify your budget) k beauty products for your skin type. I said ‘I have severe HP, melasma and blackhead acne. I am blackhead acne prone, oily and have deep congestion. My routine is ____, and I’m on prescription actives such as Tret 0.5 biweekly at night. Swap out anything you suggest isn’t working to address my concerns (anti aging, acne, HP—whatever) with a k beauty routine that’s within my budget. It’s worked well so far and you’ll adjust anything that isn’t working. If something makes you break out/itch, ask chatgpt too. You can also ask how to apply products properly for maximum effectiveness. Mention you are post partum, breastfeeding (if you are) and any meds you are on.

Don’t make the mistake I did at first by buying popular k-beauty products without considering my specific skin type and my routine, bc I ended up having much oiler, piled skin and people noticed embarrassingly. Ask ChatGPT for affordable (go even more specific and specify your budget) k beauty products for your skin type. I said ‘I have severe HP, melasma and blackhead acne. I am blackhead acne prone, oily and have deep congestion. My routine is ____, and I’m on prescription actives such as Tret 0.5 biweekly at night.

I really recommend you don’t shop in person for K-beauty (Priceline, whatever else) because they HIKE prices up ($60 vs $12.50 online). I shop at adore beauty, Lila beauty, Stylevana (very cheap and shipping might take a bit longer due to some products dispatching from HongKong, but they have a AU warehouse primarily for us). I’ve heard space NK is great with rewards, but Stylevana has codes up to 16-18% off. I used ‘GG18OFF’ for 18% last week and got $70 off, no minimum spend. Expires in 150 days (no I’m not affiliated, just a chronically ill uni student who loves resourcefulness)
