When it comes to your skin, it is not always necessary to spend a fortune. A simple regime is really all you need, and a lot of items available at your local drugstore contain quality ingredients your skin will love.
Cleanser- When it comes to cleanser, choose a mild one. Cream cleansers are especially gentle, because they are generally free of detergents (sulfates). Look at the ingredient list and stay away from cleansers that contain SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE or LAURYL SULFATES. Try PURITY cream cleanser by Philosophy.
Moisturizer- Find a moisturizer that gives you the best bang for your buck. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid (which temporarily plumps out fine lines and wrinkles), antioxidants like green tea, vitamin C, and vitamin E, vitamin A or alpha hydroxy acids. For a day moisturizer, choose one than contains a broad spectrum SPF.
Treatment- Retinols are the best option for acne, and age prevention. Retinol smooths the texture and tone of the skin, and is essential for any proper skincare regime. Try RoC RETINOL CORREXION Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, which is available at most local drugstores. You can also try HELP ME by Philosophy, which is a fabulous product.
Eyes and Neck- The eyes, neck, and hands are the first to show the signs of aging, and are more delicate than the rest of the face. It isn't necessary to buy a neck cream if you are on a budget, you can simply use a pea size amount of your face cream on your neck. A gentle eye cream is important, so be sure to invest in one.
Bottom Line-- This day and age, it is easy to find proper skincare on a budget. It really comes down to preference. If you like a certain product and it works for you, stick with it, regardless of the price.
