DIY facial kit?

My skin looks like shit. Tired, grey, and so much worse since covid and having 2yo DD. I'm 32 and I can't go to a spa. Any ideas for a home facial kit? Happy to spend ££ on something decent

I don’t know any kits but I like to do a double oil cleanse, then an AHA treatment when I need a boost. What about your day to day regime? I’m back on the tretinoin (bought in Spain) and plus the Fenty Skin day cream, my skin is looking the best it has in years. Funmi Fetto recommended this balm cleaner last week. She normally only recommends super pricey stuff so I’m excited to try: www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/q-a-grapefruit-cleansing-balm-60048505

I'm on tretinoin from dermatica, plus day/night moisturisers from This Works. I cleanse with cetaphil

Will look at the cleansing balm, looks a bargain and I remember liking the experience of the liz earle hot cloth cleanser but resenting the price tag.

Any recommended AHA treatments? I'm also looking at sheet masks but feel a bit lost!

I wouldn’t double up an AHA and tretinoin, my skin wouldn’t take it. I find with the tretinoin that I need to throw moisture and oil at it. I’m currently using silcocks base as a cream cleanser, then a salicylic acid gel wash, then applying the tretinoin and putting a layer of silcocks base on top. Only doing that twice a week, peptide and cerave night cream on the other nights. The Fenty Skin day cream is then sorting out the day side of things.
