When you think of quality skin care products, you might picture movie stars or heiresses who have beautiful skin because they have the money to spend. After all, good products are expensive, aren’t they? While it’s true that many excellent products can set you back a lot of money, not all products are expensive. The key is to decide which products can be purchased economically and which you’ll want to splurge on.
Here are some ideas on where to spend and where to save:
* Spend your money on cleansers. That way you can get the right cleanser for your skin type. If you don’t use one that fits your skin’s needs, you’ll end up too greasy or too dry, and neither of these conditions are good for your skin.
* Spend your money on eye cream. There are always exceptions, of course, but this is where you get what you pay for. Anti-wrinkle, puffiness and dark circle reduction, and botanicals will help the important eye area.
* Spend on dual products like moisturizers with sunscreen. Make your skin care products do double duty. It may cost a little extra to find a moisturizer with sunscreen or makeup foundation with sunscreen, but it costs even more to buy them separately.
* Save money on toners. One of the best things you can use is a bottle of Witch Hazel and it is very inexpensive.
* Don’t spend much money on moisturizers for trouble spots. Instead, think about using petroleum jelly. You can use it to soften and smooth cracked heels, hands, elbows, lips and cuticles.
* Don’t spend a lot on sunscreen. Many store brands and lesser known brands compare favorably with the expensive sunscreens. Besides, you should reapply all sunscreen after two hours in the sun anyway.
As you know, skin care products have quite a big range of prices. You’ll probably need to experiment a bit to find the right combination of expensive and inexpensive products that feel right.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you should read the labels. When you compare ingredients, you might notice the same ingredients in two different brands. What’s different is the price tag. Be aware and take some time to read the packaging so you’re not paying extra for the brand’s marketing.
In addition, think about joining a skin care forum where people will not only freely talk about their experiences with different brands, but will also tell you which is the best bang for your buck and where you can find coupons for the products.
Remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Take care of your skin today by always wearing sunscreen and cleaning with a proper cleanser because this can prevent problems with your skin in the future.
