Life Updates: Frugal skin care, here I come!

Days ago, I've decided to commit to cut my spending on skin care products due to financial reasons. Following the mishap with one of the moisturizers I was using, I took the step of finally buying a drugstore product. No breakouts so far and that is why I am much more determined to push the use of cheaper products.

Haul: My favorite korean brand

Is it Missha? The Face Shop? Laneige? Skin Food? No no no! Iiiiiitss...

Fail: The booger and why stores have samples

When you are starting a skin care regimen, it is very easy to mess up. A lot of trial and error are made that even some of the products end up being discarded (or given away), even if the product costs a lot.

My little product mishap happened more than a year ago. My sister told me her friends from Korea buy tea tree oil to be used as a spot treatment for acne. She claimed that the oil worked overnight and that it works so well, there will be no trace of the pimple by the next day. 

So for science, I decided to buy this tea tree oil from the local The Body Shop. I did a little Goggle-ing prior to the purchase and apparently, tea tree oil generally is good for acne. 

This little magic bottle cost me around 500 php.
