    @Mrs D: I haven't. I'll look into it. Thanks!

    Ha just remembered that I use Pixi Glow Tonic for my toner. I feel like my skin care list product list is endless.

    Right now:

    - Missha Super Aqua cleanser $10
    - St. Ives green tea scrub $5 every few days
    - A Korean ginseng based skin softener and lotion set that I was gifted $90 (Donginbi brand)
    - A Korean ginseng oil serum $100 (same brand)

    The lotion set and the serum were gifts and they last a year at least - especially that serum is like a drop a day so who knows how long that goes.

    Otherwise I replace the ginseng stuff with Kiehl's ultra facial cream - the $46 tub lasts about 6 months for me.

    We also buy a gallon jug of BeeKind body lotion twice a year for about $75 but DH and I both use it to slather down our bodies. It's good quality body lotion with a light scent and doesn't irritate DH's sensitive skin.

    @Mrs D: here's most of what I use. I'm not wedded to the pm eye cream - after this little tub is gone I'll likely go back to Shisedo. The masks are not pictured.

    I wash my face with Nivea cleanser in the shower. I have a pot of Clinique Youth Surge SPF20 that I have had for about 6 months, I ALWAYS forget to use it unless my skin is feeling really dry, which it hardly ever does. I need to be better about sunscreen, living in Australia.
    My biggest "beauty" expense is this stupid fancy hand soap - used it at a hotel once and could never go back to normal soap. I rationalise it by not spending anything on makeup and not much on my face.

    I've never added up the costs. My permanent routine now consists of:

    Face wash (2 kinds: everyday, and super mild)
    Essence
    Moisturizing toner
    Spot treatment (acne)
    Lotion (various)
    Neck lotion
    Exfoliate
    Mud mask
    Pore mask
    Sleep masks (various)
    Sheet masks (various)

    I'm not exactly sure how my list got so long ... it did take awhile to figure out which items worked for me. I'm not even counting the stuff I've been meaning to use but keep forgetting to!

    I don't know. I just buy things as I need them. I have been using mainly l'Occitane products over the last year but I can buy them at the commissary so they are much cheaper than retail. I find my products last at least 6 months if not longer, so it's hard to calculate on a quarterly basis.
